4.0 out of 5 stars Great information for fans of Gundam Wing, May 12, 2002

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gundam Technical Manual #1: Gundam Wing (Paperback)
Although a good deal of the information presented in the Gundam Wing Technical Manual is published in some form or another, no other source has it all so nicey compiled as this book. However, don't go thinking you've seen all of this before. While some of the stats and armaments of the Gundams are well known, the manual presents some lesser-known details about the Gundam Wing timeline and the physics behind the machines.

The first section of the book presents stats on each mobile suit in full color while presenting some details about important events. The last section of the book is in black and white and presents a detailed timeline and information on the characters and other technology, such as the space colonies, that populate Gundam Wing. My one complaint would be the small size of the book. While the pocket-size is easy to carry, it would be nice to have larger versions of the contained illustrations. Fans of Gundam Wing, old or new, should own this great resource book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for Gundam fans, September 22, 2002
By 
JEB (Laurel, MD United States) - See all my reviews
Of the first three Gundam Technical Manuals, this is by far the best- not only does it include information on the mobile suits, mobile armors, and vehicles from Gundam 0083, but it also has info on 08th MS Team, Gundam 0080, and Mobile Suit Gundam as well! There's even a detailed history/timeline section following the Universal Century continuity up to the era of Zeta Gundam. Highly, highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide to a great series, September 23, 2002
By 
JEB (Laurel, MD United States) - See all my reviews
Not only does this excellent book give details on the mobile suits, mobile armor, vehicles, characters, and technology featured in the 08th MS Team series, it also puts all of this in the context of Mobile Suit Gundam, the series that these events take place in the midst of. A good buy for any MS Gundam fan.
