Hello, David- This is a great topic on which I'd love to hear what the Mecha HOFers think, but this isn't appropriate for OT.debate.

The models (in my opinion) are not that good - essentially a skeleton with some weapons added, and a lot of (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Errrr...I'd say any support from lego for mecha is good! The model out of the bunch that I like the best is the transformable white flight type. Those wings would be handy for building something like a Murasame from Gundam Seed Destiny. The (...) (19 years ago, 24-Dec-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
