Recently,
I attended the Mobile Suit Gundam Invasion Tour 2001 Show. This particular
show was held on Sunday, September 16 at the Toys R Us parking lot located
in Deptford, New Jersey. I dropped by with my two sons, Anthony and
Michael.
The
tour centered around a very colorful, 53 foot trailer. There were both
Playstation and Playstation 2 games set up into one if its
sides.
There were also all sorts of TVs set up inside
the trailer, showing segments from different Gundam shows. There were
very colorful and informative pictures decorating the walls inside, "authentic"
items from the shows, and Gundam merchandise. The crème de la
crème, though, was the many nicely built and weathered Gundam models that
were out on display.
In
addition to all of the above, there were free posters, tee shirts and collector game cards that were given out.
The
show was a BLAST! We spent over 3 hour there, taking in the sites and
playing the two different Gundam games.
I
have written a full-blown article on my experiences there. Originally, I
planned to post it here at my site. However, it now appears that the
article will be appearing in an upcoming issue of the Modeler's Resource
Magazine, (along with some of the many, numerous pictures that I
took).
Stay
tuned…
