Hmmmmmm...this may not be a bad thing. It might finally be the kick in the butt necessary to get Lego to wake up and release more modern sets, and get past their anti-violence fears. At some point they simply have to go ahead and do it.. They’ll have to now, to compete with things like this. Maybe we’ll get to see Gundam sets in a year or two, perhaps..

Hate to be blunt, but it won’t happen. The closest thing LEGO got to a violent “realistic” line was Wild West, and it was cut short after two years. Gundam? Please LEGO, no! No more licenses!
