Thats awesome im glad you guys are shipping to Puerto Rico, we got a small community here , but loyal to amazing sellers. We just started a thread on our PR builders group and one of the guys recommended your store, so hopefully that means more options for us to buy online. Thank you guys for the shoutout!

[@mattb154]

There's more gunpla in that warehouse than in the whole of Europe. 😭

[@THLPH]

That's pretty true lol

[@killuminati2911]

Each online shop I check in Italy is always out of stock for 90 per cent of their selection. Can't really tell of there is not enough demand to keep the stock. If the selection is too vast but anyway, there is no option to make an impulse buy unless you choose what is available, against what you would like to get.

[@mattb154]

@@killuminati2911 supposedly, Bandai refuses to deal with wholesalers in Europe due to a lack of demand. But at the same time, we customers have to pay EUR50 for a small HGUC kit when all the middlemen have taken their cut. And as you've said, that's if we're lucky enough to find something in stock. It's ridiculous! And don't get me started on P-Bandai exclusives.

[@killuminati2911]

@@mattb154 yeah that's right. I bought some kit in the past directly from Japan and what is here sold at 30-40 Euro, there is a 12-15 Euro piece. This however is not a good way to grow the business. I can see plenty of space for them to get to a new audience but not if the product is not available, overpriced and of course, lack any type of marketing whatsoever, that is demanded to the local reseller. The guy here in this video basically have to be a local marketing office for Bandai. Well at least now I know this is not something related only to my Country. Thanks for the reply man. Cheers

[@telmaromana6034]

Same...where I live there's two places selling gunpla. Both with inflated prices

[@criose]

You guys rock. Keep up the amazing work. Gundam is life.

[@broly_]

I’d be too tempted to take one off the shelves and start building it

[@Dre2Dee2]

never get high off your own supply

[@Dragonk116]

Oh trust me these owners have their own large personal supply.

[@UberYunSpicyEggroll]

This is so cool! I've always wondered how a Gunpla store operated. Thanks for giving us the inside scoop! :) Much love from FL.

[@gnmystic3196]

I'm so happy she got her Canadian Gundam T-shirt 🥺🥺🥺

[@ipodgolfer13]

I just started with my first Gunpla model this past week and love it. I also created an account on your site today! Already started my wishlist.

[@s3d17]

You guys run a very neat operation. Glad to see the business is doing good, there is a lot of competition for Gunpla products now a days, even the big box stores like Target want in on the action. 😥

[@reviathan3524]

I'm glad I discovered this video. Since she knows I like Gunplas, My aunt once suggested me to sell Gunplas around town. Not that I want to try, but how to operate a Gunpla store is something interesting to know the behind the scenes.

[@Geekeric]

We're lucky in Canada to have Canadian Gundam and also Canada Post; our gunpla supply chain rocks!

[@bizophone]

Greetings from Halifax! I've ordered a bunch of stuff from these guys over the last couple of years. Patrick is very helpful if you have any concerns about your order.

[@raytobing6944]

[@secret_8036]

Ive always been thinking of making a Gunpla/Hobby business in the future, just wondering how the "Whole" thing works

[@langdolin]

I am not a Gundam guy but seeing all that makes me rethink.

[@running_gamer577]

Do you guys have the Gundam madrock Rx 78 6

[@puteraslayer]

Hye can you like brake it down. How do you open shop selling Gundam ?

[@graden2203]

[@jared7388]

Do you ship overseas?

[@1996starter]

How do u start a gunpla store i want to know cuz theres no store in India so any knowledge will be helpful

[@eduardozavala1555]

Do you deliver to mexico?

[@AnotherMC]

Hey, why did you guys turn the comments off on the picture where you had massive packages strapped to the roofs of these cars?

[@GunplaNetwork]

Canadian gundam sponsored this channel but nobody at gunpla network is affiliated with them. The comments were probably turn off because peoples did not understand that theses were staged pictures

[@marvenvanoc9073]

I really wanted to start a gunpla business here in my country but idk where to start.

[@typesaad]

Can you ship to Kuwait ?

[@yourview8159]

What a lovely hood

[@Dragondude2525]

Damn man. Hope there’s some mr. almighty stuff in there.

[@jonasjusayan3637]

I really like your vids. Um I have a quick question do you ship in Philippines? Because I live in Philippines.

[@bunnyfreakz]

Why import from canada when japan is way closer?

[@coldnhot369]

I would love to work there

[@thedandy6765]

cna i order a mg dynames from you?

[@imagicmusicc]

HOLY COW

[@toratora99999]

Is it gunpla shop?

[@Kohiku]

Super curious what is the profit margin of a Gunpla store. I mean I know it's kinda like a secret but would love to know if it's in the range of 5% or 15% ish or more! It's just a curiosity me and my friends have had since the local store at our place won't tell us haha

[@GunplaNetwork]

I dont work for canadian gundam but i worked in business before and it is more than 15% thats for sure. You also have to keep in mind the lost cost (kits that does not sell etc) also the front cost of ordering skits. So its high risk but could be high reward manage properly i assume

[@Jonas0924]

Dam 69k worth of gundam? Idk about you but that is lookin *nice*

[@easonsu1551]

This is heaven！

[@gabmoreno280]

So I got confused of the Titanium card thing can someone pls explain it to me

[@shadowkid97]

They have a high limit card so that they can order stock to be sold. They pay like $500 CAD I think per year so that they can have the card. Its basically so that they don't have to take out of pocket to purchase their stock.

[@therealding221]

Was the psycho Zaku clear color ver is it gone already?

[@GunplaNetwork]

Not on the website yet, they must be waiting for the next restock to sell them. I am waiting for them too

[@therealding221]

Ok thanks.

[@itsknowone]

Are they open to having a new logo? I would love to make something for them. That one they use on the stickers could use a little love.

[@GunplaNetwork]

You would have to message them directly to ask them but that could be a nice idea

[@itsknowone]

@@GunplaNetwork I did! Thanks for the response. Would love to help them out.

is it hard to become a reseller like yourself ?!?!

[@sitoudien9816]

If it was easy everyone would be a reseller. Canadian Gundam is only a small handful of retailers in S. Ontario. I've seen many stores since the 90's fail. Gundam is so niche. RC models and drones have taken over.

[@MrTomato35]

​@@sitoudien9816 they are pricey in Australia, most of the time i order online and wait for weeks for delivery to save money.
