Well, there's a little story to why I like the gladius so much.

When I was a little kid, we did not have that much money. I never knew it though. My dad would bring home all sorts of boxes and we'd make them into houses and takes and such. He would also make wooden swords out of broken chopping boards or 2x4 scraps. One Christmas, he made me a sword and painted it silver. I loved it. I still have it. In fact, it's my youngest son's favorite sword to carry around. Even if he's just wearing underwear, he sticks the wooden sword in his chonies.

Well, that wooden sword was as Gladius. So, when I saw the Gladius, I knew I had to have it. And no, I'm not going to let my youngest son play with it. Unless I want Nicholas to be a Nichole.

So, there it is. Why did I trade my NMFBM, so I could have an Infi version of one of my favorite childhood posessions.
