other characters (Tyberko@aol.com)
-You're actually reading this entire list (Tyberko@aol.com)
- You go out and celebrate on April 7th each
year.
-You have designed your own versions of the Gundams
-... and built models of them yourself.
-You are planning/working on/have completed a
1:1000 scale model of Libra, Peacemillian, Barge,
or a colony. (By the way, a 1:1000 scale Libra
model would be over 9 feet wide, and some 3 feet
tall)
-You cried for days after Toonami took GW off
the air
-... Then you remembered you have it all on DVD/video
already, so you can watch it whenever you
want.
-You threw a huge party when you heard GW was
going back on the air.
-You've gotten into a brawl with a UC Gundam
purist over one of the following: Zechs' mask vs
Char's mask, Zechs with the Tallgeese vs Char
with his Zaku II, Zechs with the Epyon vs Char with
the Sazabi, or just Zechs vs Char, period.
-You, being an AC Gundam purist, have no idea
who the hell Char is, or what the hell a Zaku II or
Sazabi is.
-... Or, AC Gundam got you interested in the
other series, and you know who Char is, why so many
people think Zechs is a copycat off him, what
a Zaku II is (and then some), and so on, though you've
not seen a single episode of the original series.

GW models
-You bitch at Bandai to make Perfect Grade models
of all the GW suits.
-You have the "Deluxe Wing Gundam Transforming
Action Figure", unopened, and kept in mint
condition under glass.
-You gripe at Bandai that the Perfect Grade Wing-Zero
Custom isn't detailed enough.
-... of course, your idea of 'detailed
enough' generally means 'fully functional' to the rest of the
population.
-You try to figure out how it is physically possible
for a mobile suit like Wing-Zero Custom to
manuver in space with those wings. (Easy! There's
tons of tiny thrusters planted IN the wings!
Mostly in the smaller set, which are kinda like
the original Wing Gundam's wings! The bigger flappier
ones are shields! =p)
- You have ever been told "Get this(these) gundam(s)
off the (insert item such as chair, table, runway, etc here)"
- You have ever wondered if Wufei has ever thought
to use Shenlong/Altron's flamethrowers for one hell of a barbeque
