The problem with the Sci Fi museum is it joined at the hip with EMP (the rock 'n' roll museum) and admission is $15. It's cool the first time, but it really functions more as a tourist trap than a museum for the community. Last time I went I felt like I just seen all the shit Paul Allen bought off of ebay. (Though I will admit that the interactive studio is cool.)

Yeah, no kidding. I went once with my sister who was visiting from out of town. They have some cool movie props, but they also had a Master Replicas SW lightsaber that any old schlub (such as myself) can buy online for $100. Lame.

An appropriate place for a cockpit ...

King Joe is missing his hands.

And that Blockhead is mostly naked.

And that's the 1980s vinyl Mechagodzilla, not the die-cast that has the features described.

FAIL.

(I see they provided a link to TBDX. Okay, maybe they get a pass. ;p)

Well actually, the toy depicted there is the GB-24 DX T-28...a fine toy, by all means...but definitely not the Chokinzoku you're talking about!

Now that's a serious robot. Anybody have any idea if the Gigantor anime is appropriate for a 4 year old? I saw it on netflix and thought about queing it up for my son and I. Not to thread jack or anything ---back to robots!

Do you mean the new show that came out a few years ago? If so, then nope. It's way too intense for a 4-year-old...kinda like the Giant Robo OVA from the 90's...only not nearly as good, in my opinion (weak/disappointing ending).

Of course, if you're talking about the original cartoon, you're pretty much all set!

Cool, thanks Sanjeev - Yup, I was referring to the orig. I'm gonna add it to our que today. He loves Iron Man so I think this will go over well.
