Yeah, they were the only source of 1/48th armor and vehicles for a long time in the 70s... Finding two Bandai Jeeps one day in a dusty bin at a hobby shop was like finding the Holy Grail for me...

I've got the Hummer type jeep that goes with that series. The quailty of the sci-fi kit is top notch.

Doog - Gundam is an anime series based upon the use of giant armoured suits. i.e., flying man operated robots. Its been around for a long time with many types of Gundams presented as kits by Bandai.
