Discover Tokyo's Massive Bandai-Namco Cross Store: Full Tour

[@foreverrunning_]

i remember finding this place by random on our trip, we had gone to sunshine city to visit the Pokemon center and the one piece shop. I remember our gps taking us to a postal office parking lot since we had our rental and we felt lost so we left haha but we found the malls parking and woah was it huge downstairs. after finally making our way up to the stores and visiting the ones we wanted, we got hungry and explored the mall and found this shop! i remember being blow away by how huge and how much they had all tied in to the store. we ended up walking the store not even thinking about food till like an hour later lol we had steak at a steak house that i believe was on the same floor and area as this shop! man were we hungry after all that walking! i wholeheartedly miss japan and vividly remember every bit being there. I cant wait for the day i finally get to go back.

God, your voice is so lovely. I could listen to you talking or doing voice over for hours!

[@pixxellie]

@@KimimaroX thank you! ☺️

[@Sano72592]

What a great layout of a store. You do such a thorough view through it and this seems like an absolute dream to visit.

[@pixxellie]

Thank you! Yeah it’s a truly huge shop with so much to see and do!

[@fattiger6957]

This place really shows off how massive Bandai-Namco is. I find that a lot of western fans often underestimate the size of the company and how many things they are involved in. I would also spend most of my time in that back section with all the vintage anime stuff. I love seeing old, obscure franchises like Vifam, Brain Powerd and L-Gaim represented.

[@pixxellie]

Oh absolutely. They have soooo many properties. The only thing is I truly miss the old namco logo 🥲

[@reijigamer]

​@@pixxellieI so like the old logo better. The new logo is really bland

[@the7569]

This is so cool! I have been in Japan for around the past 3 weeks, and I go back to Tokyo in about 2 days. I have not been here yet, But now I definitely have to check it out!

[@pixxellie]

It's definitely worth it! sooo much cool stuff to look at and pick up.

[@BrickSomething]

Amazing! Thank you for this great coverage. Me and the fam are here in Japan right now til July 8 and will definitely try to stop by this store!!! How does it compare to the Tamashii Nations store in Akihabara? Leaving the Tokyo Disney Resort today for Kyoto (and Osaka, Hiroshima, Nara) then back to Tokyo for threeish days before heading back home to San Francisco. I’d love any tips. Gonna check out the Discord to.

[@pixxellie]

thank for watching! welcome to the discord :)

[@ChromaSoul]

You have some strong willpower to not just splurge on so much merch here lol... Thanks for the tour!

[@pixxellie]

thanks for watching!!

[@reijigamer]

she must be a Green Lantern lol

[@miguelgomez718]

Great video!! I saw some Saint Seiya and Sailor Moon stuff which were very cool, those 2 animes with Dragon Ball were really popular during the 90s here in México and Dragón Baĺl still is.

[@pixxellie]

ty! I havent watched saint seiya yet but ive always been curious! Sailor moon was also popular in the US!

[@narutoman876]

I wish I had known about this place! I went to the one in Yokohama when I went to visit the Moving Gundam.

[@Lord_Squidy]

Really hoping we get something like this in California, I work at Bandai Namco in California and this is cool to see but Japan gets everything haha also Great Video!

[@buckunowildo]

amazing store! when i went it was insanely busy. pro-tip: visit earlier in the day : )

[@pixxellie]

Yes this is good advice! this video was filmed just a few minutes after the store opened!

[@aroncrown1083]

Cowboy bebop vinyl will be 100x more expensive in the future tho

[@pixxellie]

You’re probably right!

[@richardyasushiii3848]

The quality of the video and the narration actually makes me feel like I've been there. As I'm now an older person, there isn't much there that I'm personally into, but thanks for giving us a tour with lots of detail. The old-school stuff would probably be the section I'd make a beeline to. This video also works well as unintentional ASMR, as it is relaxing to watch.

[@pixxellie]

@@richardyasushiii3848 thank you so much for the kind words!! ☺️

[@richardrussell7082]

Fitbits and smart watches are like Tamagotchi but the stupid creature we're trying to keep alive is ourselves 🤣

lolll

[@pgabrieli]

crap, I just remembered that I had that first Gundam DX figure box at 25m24s... god knows where it ended up!

[@nilsirrah7672]

when you said reacting poorly to your camera 3:00 i thought it was radioactive lmfao

[@pixxellie]

lol

[@richardreadinger1724]

Just found out that the Game Xchange here in town have the largest amount of Gundam model kits. But still on the search for different kits. Any Gundam model kit magazines I can check out?😊 3:16 ?😊 3:06 😊😊

[@pixxellie]

definitely check out hobby japan and dengeki hobby! model graphix is also good! GHL or gundam hobby life too!

[@richardreadinger1724]

@@pixxellie thank you!😊

[@roynobody]

great coverage! man, if i had extra extra money id buy a kamen rider belt haha

[@pixxellie]

those would be so cool for a halloween costume or cosplay!

[@liamfrost2608]

28:34 The orange juice is from code geass. Lelouch calls him orange man or something because his royal title is Orange. Its a meme that he grows oranges. The character actually resents being called orange.

[@pixxellie]

ahhh ty for the info! I need to watch that show!

[@jeffholt9437]

"Japanese language only"? - how dare they! 😊😊😊 Look forward to the Dougram store......

[@pixxellie]

theres a dougram store?!

[@jeffholt9437]

@@pixxellie no idea but I thought you could find one!

[@Raistlin600]

When we went in there we were actually super confused by it as practically nothing is actually for sale it seems? It was more like a showroom. Maybe we just didn't understand it or how to purchase things, but every time we asked we were told " not for sale". Only things were a crud ton of gatcha games and some arcade ufo / crane games.

[@martinfisher3625]

Where you saw all the exhibition stuff at the back (that you stumbled upon), there’s an exhibition behind the curtain inside another room, featuring original cels and other merch from Cowboy Bebop, Dirty Pair, Cyber GPX and a couple of others. It’s a separate charge but worth it. I went there in March, and as a cel collector, I loved it 😊

[@pixxellie]

That’s awesome!!! I think that exhibition might be gone now because they change them every few weeks

[@martinfisher3625]

It’s possible. I think there’s a website about it you may want to check out.

[@reijigamer]

The G.M.G. are a line of action figures. They are quite small for the prices they go for. The figures come with accessories. I think there was a set with a vehicle

[@victorwong6353]

My I know got selling Digimon fighter machine?

[@liorsavion9313]

Anything souls related/ elden ring?in Osaka/Tokyo? Thank :D

[@beerhigh04]

wow, why it's not crowded like other store?

[@pixxellie]

It’s normally PACKED. I went as soon as they opened early in the morning.

[@jinwu9423]

I love Cowboy BoPeep

[@bigdoggy6650]

❤️🍻

[@pixxellie]

cheers!

[@rockerslosangeles4184]

Bleach thousand year wars is good 👍

[@pixxellie]

I absolutely loved it! I even watched it twice, which I never do for new anime. I can't wait until the next season!

[@AsierSorroche]

Where can i buy a digivice 25th color ???

[@drowningin]

7:18 Korone and Okayu spotted 🥰

[@neonnwave1]

Adding this to my list when I visit Japan. Also, the orange stuff is from Code Geass Season 2.

[@pixxellie]

nice! it's worth it!!

[@rommelflores2618]

I would love to go there if given another chance to run back Japan. Last April cherry blossoms with a family trip went to Tokyo and AKihabara and until now my fascination to anime is growing.

[@pixxellie]

definitely give anime a shot! theres so much great stuff in the art form

[@fattiger6957]

I don't think I will ever get into One Piece. There over 1,000 episodes! I already have a hard time committing to a 52 episode anime. (my favourite type of anime are single season 26 episode series or old school 6-8 episode OVAs)

[@pixxellie]

I know once piece is so daunting! So many episodes!! I feel the same way, I love short anime and ovas.

[@dingo3432]

I wouldn’t even know where to begin. All those franchises in one big space. I’d be a kid in a candy store. I’d probably collect those cute SD Gundam candy toys and admire all those vintage items. I really want that SD Godzilla lol. Thank you for sharing your visit! I’m definitely going to try seeing this mega store next year.

[@pixxellie]

ty for watching! I love SD stuff too!

[@chrisbridges7408]

Cool vid. Glad to see Bleach getting some love.

[@franco3584]

Fantastic Coverage. You were so lucky to get in there when it was so quiet . I was surprised to see other model brands besides Bandai .Thank You.

[@pixxellie]

Thanks for watching!!! Yeah going super early is def the way to do it!

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

That Aura Battler Dunbine diorama is amazingly crafted to eye popping eye candy perfection.

[@pixxellie]

It's soooo cool! very inspiring build.

[@arthurcabral-zq6gb]

What Is THIS!? $7.98 or whatever just to join! WAAAH! Ya GOT ta be Kiddin!

[@pixxellie]

if you're talking about channel memberships the low tier is 2.99 and that gives access to all the extra videos. ☺

[@saruki0132]

the orange thing ( 28:30 ) is form Code Geass.

[@pixxellie]

Ty for the tip!

[@reijigamer]

Code Geass is the best. Hopefully the new anime series will be good

[@Geekeric]

I enjoy these videos so much! I really like seeing the box art on vintage model kits.

[@pixxellie]

Thank you! I love those box arts too!

[@likeabarrel]

Very cool.
