Pretty cool, let's be precise and call him Lu Bu Tallgeese (or Ryofu Tallgeese but not Musha Tallgeese). I think Lu Bu is better then Ryofu, since if you wiki "Lu Bu", you'd find his reputation as a fighter is legendary along with his steed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hare Lu Bu and Red hare, according to ROTK, can charge into thousands of enemy soldiers as if there's no resistance (sounds like a game we were talking about?) and carried Lu Bu during his legendary battle against the Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei brothers (ROTK). In SD Sangokuden, Lu Bu's entrance was atop Red Hare steed (last page of Liu Bei Gundam's assembly manual). After Lu Bu died, the horse eventually ended up with Guan Yu but he died shortly after (ROTK). I am still contemplating collecting the whole Sangokuden line, maybe I should finish at least 1 of the 3 brothers before ordering the next one(s). Revisiting the related stories in Wikipedia and Gunota, I am surprised to find quite a few new characters, even some obscure characters known only to historians and fans familiar with ROTK. Also I remember an old post in April: On 4/3/07, Grant White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got the SD Verde Buster on pre-order.

They rearranged the numbering to: May #295 Blu Duel Gundam June #300 Liu Bei Gundam (Sangokuden 01) #302 Guan Yu Gundam (Sangokuden 02) #301 Zhang Fei Gundam (Sangokuden 03) July #296 Blaze Zaku Worrier Aug #297 Stargazer Gundam #298 Blaze Zaku Phantom Heine Use #303 Sima Yi Sazabi (Sangokudan 04) Sep #299 Gundam Astray Goldframe After 299, we are back on track... until the next time they put numbering out of order again. To me it's pretty mysterious to make BB-301 = Sangokuden 02 and BB-302 = Sangokuden 03. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II list@gundam.com Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
