    Location: just near Moscow, Russia, and here is story:
    Yesterday was at moll with gf, main target was new spider man movie, afterwards we decided to visit local toyshop, my gf was searching something for her nephew and i just was walking, but found something (on photos).
    Those are obviously 00 gundams, but…there is no gundam word on boxes, at least in russian/english. Instead they are called: Gaoda (гаода – here and later transliterated from russian) and it’s a cheese – https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouda_cheese
    Wtf?
    Second thing: there is full set: all 4 (not found nadleeh) in two versions – normal and trans-am, but…they have different names. As i can think, they tried to use 1,2,3… namesake as in gundam wing and failed once again: seems it’s mashup from chinese and japanese numerals (maybe not only):
    Exia trans-am: ya-tian’shi (1?)
    Dynames: pi-tian’shi (5?)
    Dynames trans-am: gi(ji)-tian’shi (?)
    Exia: neng-tian’shi
    Wtf?!
    Then i noticed one more thing: pilot names….but they are strangely translated/transliterated, as Setsuna has different names in russian (notice, that japan/chinese names are equal) for exia and trans-am exia. Btw, seems gundam themselves got names from pilots…
    Wtf???!!!

    In result: i was so impressed, that i even forgot to buy one to show you what’s inside, but i would buy one, i promise (boxes are scotch taped, so no way to open in shop)
