- NO WAY....at least for the forseable future. 1) there is SO MUCH of Gundam
- 125+ tv episodes of three different tv series, 3 compilation movies covering
- storyline of the first series, each about 2 1/2 hours long., a 6 part OVA
- series Gundam 0080, a thirteen part OVA series Gundam 0083, and lest we
- not forget the movie Gundam : Char's Counterattack.
-
- All of that material, along with the name 'Gundam', is owned by the japanese
- company Sunrise. And for many years, just becuase there is so much of it,
- the price has been extremely high. There have been rumors recently that
- Sunrise has become a bit more approachable in terms of their titles. (
- which include Dirty Pair, Crusher Joe, Votoms, City Hunter, and Gundam, among
- many others.)
