In conjunction with the "2025 Japan International Exposition" (Osaka-Kansai Expo) to be held in Yumeshima, Osaka, starting this April, Japan Airlines (JAL) and Bandai Namco Holdings have officially announced the launch of the "JAL×GUNDAM FLY TO THE FUTURE PROJECT."
■Osaka-Kansai Expo Specification "JAL Gundam JET"
As a symbol of this project, the Osaka-Kansai Expo specification "JAL Gundam JET" officially commenced operations on Japanese domestic flights starting Monday, March 3. The design of the Osaka-Kansai Expo specification "JAL Gundam JET" is inspired by the "RX-78F00/E Gundam (EX-001 Glass Feather Equipment)" featured in the "GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION" (Gundam Pavilion), a private exhibition hall presented by Bandai Namco Holdings at the Osaka-Kansai Expo. It also incorporates elements of the Osaka-Kansai Expo's official mascot, "Myaku Myaku," creating a unique and exclusive design. Through the "JAL Gundam JET" flying across the skies of Japan, the project aims to convey the philosophy pursued by the "GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION" – "connecting with people worldwide through Gundam to collectively contemplate the 'future'" – to the new generation of children who will shape the future.
An incredibly difficult-to-obtain treasure... First, one must purchase a domestic flight ticket to Osaka, then register for a lottery on the official website. If successful, one can acquire this limited edition Boeing 737 aircraft, restricted to 180 units! Both funds and luck are indispensable!
However, I have already sold this aircraft model for charity to a banking industrialist! On behalf of those in need, I sincerely thank the generous benefactor for their strong support!
I personally truly love this collectible. I hope you will display it prominently in the future, so as not to waste its intrinsic value!
