Writer's ViewpointBeing a Gundam fan, I seriously can't wait for MCO to end so that I can get this and collect Gundam and Zaku figures to add to my collection. Fun fact. Did you know that this month 41 years ago, the Gundam anime aired its first episode marking the start of an amazing franchise that last for more than 4 decades? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the MCO to end soon before Raya hopefully.
