    Man, I tried real hard to come up with clever portmanteaux of Gundam characters and drinks, but I couldn't get any further than "Deathscider". :/ #gundam

    The real question is, were they just assembled straight out of the box, or did real care go into them? #gundam

    @Chesu: What bars don't safeguard themselves against the antics of the intoxicated? I'd assume the models in the bar can be easily and inexpensively replaced. #gundam

    There's also a Classic Anime Robot Cafe in Tokyo (near Yoyogi) that's pretty cool, as far as small ecclectic bars go.

    Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside, but I got a pic from the outside (me and Mazinga):

    [picasaweb.google.com]

    It's called Ro-bo-ta (ROBO太)

    I wonder how many models they have to replace in a month due to drunk accidents? I know people in theme bars like this tend to use a bit more restraint, but still...

    Then, it'd be pretty funny if you had to build the replacement for anything you broke while still drunk, hehe #gundam

    Nagoya has a Gundam bar not far from the Bic Camera also. It's pretty cool and they constantly play random Gundam anime episodes in the back and similarly have drinks named after Gundams. They also toast with a special Gundam word. Jiggujyon I think it is. As a foreigner I just make my best attempt and they love me for it. It's pretty cool though, similar to the one pictured above, but maybe a little darker. #gundam

    @fuchikoma: haha, that's totally it! When they say it fast it slurs really weird, but man is it a fun place. The bartenders are all super friendly and eager to teach you about Gundam if you don't know. None of them have much skill in the way of english which is understandable but it makes learning a bit difficult as the curve is steep. Perhaps I'll snap a few pictures the next time I'm at my local Gundam Bar to post comparison shots. :c) #gundam

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: Wow, I've never purchased a Perfect Grade so far, and maybe it is a good idea if I never do, as I could never fit those monsters in my flat. Unless I have one in my bed like a Teddy Bear...

    @Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): Master Grades are 1/100, but my theory is that a lot of those models are itty bitty ones, thus making the MGs look bigger. I could be wrong though. #gundam

    @Daniel @ playreadwrite.blogspot.com: Some of them are 1/144 or smaller, but also some of the smaller ones are 1/100 I think too. The huge ones are almost certainly not as small as 1/100. There are objects there, such as the Wine glasses and people, that give a good idea of the scale. 1/100 should be the same size or just shorter than a wine glass, but those things completely dwarf the wine glass nearby. I think the Exia Gundam we can see by the elbow of one of them is a 1/100.

    While this doesn't say a grade, this one is 1/60, so is probably the culprit as to what the Zaku is:
    [www.1999.co.jp]
    Wow, he's pretty damn expensive... but... I want it...

    Edit: Yeah, that model is a Perfect Grade: [www.hlj.com] So I think yeah, those are perfect grades.
