Gundam 30th anniversary celebration – Nagoya “Gundam the First”

Nagoya Gundam the First Nagoya’s  “Gundam the First” is the 30th year anniversary celebration on July 24th, 25th and 26th 2009 at Port Messe – Nagoya, Japan.  Official link here Nagoya’s “Gundam the First”

They had a Gundam museum with original animation cells, a huge Zaku head, history displays, mobile suit battlefield recreation that everybody loved, and a stage where famous people related to the Gundam did their thing.

The expo was fully packed with people and had the longest lines I’ve yet seen in Japan.  I stood in line outside in the hot sun and humidity for over 2 hours.   Once I finally got inside there wasn’t  much to see and all the good spots for the shows were camped out long ago in the morning.   After standing in the merchandise line for 2 hours I find out that all the good stuff was gone long ago.
