Like I said, these ideas were merely floating around. What about putting a
lego camera in the green torso dome? Or light sensors in the eyes? Not
only will they detect things, but the'll light up when you power it up :)
Definitely, if it is electronic, there will be triggors to actions such as
firing vulcan cannons. And yeesh, how often do I see someone who, if we
could combine our Lego collections, could do something AWESOME! There it
goes again.

Yes, those joints look fantastic. I don't like the technic Star Wars sets
too much, but with 8 of those joints, I think I'll have to buy this one.
The only other one I ever purchased was the old Battle Droid anyway. I
might get Vader too...it's just kinda a bit much ($40) IMO. I could
probably do much better building a gundam now, with those new joints, and
when I built the old one, I had never seen Sun Yuns work! I was actually
quite happy with the hands too. They used LOM click hinges.

Yeah, I know...also sorry, I meant perfect *Wing*, not Zero, head. Even if
it's not too perfect for GW, most (I think) Gundams outside of GW sport red
beam sabers. I hate to say it but if we had to get one color, this would be it.
My knowledge of Gundam is actually pretty sad. I got introduced to Anime
when my stepsiblings started watching Pokemon. Then I went crazy over
Gundam Wing; I have the entire series (including Endless Waltz) on DVD. Now
I need one more DVD to top off my 08th MS Team collection, a GREAT series.
What I say I think I know about the color of most beam sabers is conjecture
based on what I have seen of things, so theres no need to give me a list of
every MS that doesn't have a red saber :) And please don't hurt me for
having never seen any Gundam besides Wing and 08th MS. Um...if you're mad,
why don't you beat up HIM! <points to Jeff Stembel, who seems to have
sprouted an interest in quality body armor and self defense>

Yeah, I guess so. Gotta find Ep2 lego first, though...
