So as you may or may not know, there's a life-sized replica RX-78-2 Gundam statue in Japan right now. But that's not the news, the news is that they're hosting a rather awesome auction involving it soon.
The planners of the 1/1-scale, "life-size" statue of the Gundam anime robot are auctioning the opportunity for one person to have a photograph taken at the statue's shoulder. The Green Tokyo Gundam Project will be adding the Tokyo 2016 Candidate City logo to the statue on August 1, to promote Tokyo's bid to host the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The winner of the charity auction on Yahoo! Japan will take part in the Tokyo Olympics bid logo ceremony in a high-altitude construction lift. (The statue stands at 18 meters or 59 feet.)

Beginning of the end, my friends. At first they're just statues. Next, they'll move. After that, the weapons will work. Then they'll become sentient. Then we all die.

Also, I don't want to be Amuro... he was a tool.
