[@shuichitakumi]

Just came back from my trip to Japan. This video helped me SO much when shopping for gunpla. Wanted to say thank you SO much for sharing these places

[@caridanbeli]

I'm so glad this video has helped you thank you very much!

[@marasy81]

nice! as a metal build collector from Indonesia, this is what I am looking for! keep up the quality content!

[@caridanbeli]

Thank you, I hope you gonna get what you're looking for 😁

I randomly came across your gundam buying guide. I now own 2 metal builds both were purchased from ebay. Last time when i went to Japan in Nov 2023 i has zero clue about Gundam prebuilt collectibles such as Metal Builds. I ended buying some Robot Spirits but now i know what i want, metal builds. This guide is PERFECT for me, for my future trip to Japan and Im from London. Thank you so so much brother, i wrote down all the shops on my notes app now haha. I never knew there were this many metal build shops. I went to Gundam Base tokyo assuming there was metal builds, i went to Akihabara tamashii shop and found Hi Nu metal build and the strike gundam Metal build, i qeued up 40 mins to get in! I just didnt know where to look back then. Keep up the great work.!

[@caridanbeli]

Thank you so much, your words really made my day! I am happy my Video can help you. I hope you will have a fantastic time on your next hunting in Japan. Cheers!

[@DubChaeng2x]

Currently in Tokyo. Using this guide as my itinerary! 😅

[@caridanbeli]

Good Luck! 😁

Hi! I understand that every store has its own pros and cons. But as someone who have no specific gunpla that I want to buy in mind, which one would you best recommend for cheap and large variety of gunplas? Specifically for RG and MG?

[@caridanbeli]

it's a bit difficult because it is difficult to find a store that has a lot of variety, selling gundams at low prices maybe try Surugaya, because there are often items sold cheaply because there are defects in the box (the contents are still complete and good)

[@hitori_gurashi]

right now i order kits at amazon, when i compute the total cost of shipping vs when travelling to different places cost is the same, and sometimes more expensive than doing an online purchase

[@caridanbeli]

of course, buying online can be less expensive, but sometimes treasure only can be found when you come for it 😬

[@hitori_gurashi]

@@caridanbeli well that is also true maybe i got no luck when searching haha

[@marvinjaymendoza175]

Hi. Where is the best shop to look for damashii metal robots and metalbuild?

[@caridanbeli]

for the metal build, I already told in the video :D for damashii metal robots, you can find them in many shops. but I suggest you go to Yodobashi Akiba and Radio Kaikan building (especially a shop named X-Akihabara )

[@marvinjaymendoza175]

Thanks a lot for ur help!

[@guren763]

Buying in Gundam base tokyo soon, do they have shopping bags/paper bags provide when its purchased or i need to bring my own?

[@caridanbeli]

You'll get a shopping bag, even a big one when you buy a lot.

[@PeteCorp]

Went there last month. Yotobashi Akihabara didn't have squat.

[@caridanbeli]

That's a shame, hopefully, you found something cool elsewhere

[@zulleali1597]

you need to comme really early!

[@HeavenlyPalace-Y2K]

Are the non-limited models standard price across different shops? Otherwise which ones are the most reasonable?

[@caridanbeli]

For non limited, mostly they applied the MSRP, except for tax-free. In Akihabara, The cheapest would be 1.Yodobashi - 2.Yellow submarines radio kaikan - 3. Ami Ami Radio Kaikan

[@superchogokinz]

Hello there, I am currently in Tokyo, can I find a Perfect Grade Unleashed RX-2 Gundam 3.0 in any of these stores?

[@bluelabel222]

Is it true Gundam base are low on inventory for gunpla kits? It was point out by a few KZbinr on their recent trip to Japan.

[@caridanbeli]

it's not always like that, depending on the moment. most of the time, the stock is often well maintained. but the last time I was there at the beginning of this month, the Gundam base used a lottery system (for a whole week) to determine who could enter.

[@luckylucson]

When I went in 2023, they had a lot of Gundam Base exclusives but not a lot of regular releases. When I go back I'll definitely take a peek again though

[@caridanbeli]

I hope you gonna find some good Gundam to buy next 😀

[@chaotickvs]

​@@caridanbelido you take a lottery ticket after you reached there?

[@caridanbeli]

@@chaotickvs ​ @chaotickvs lottery tickets can only be obtained online during certain periods, and a Japanese ID card must be presented at entry. I didn't have both.

[@muhammadsyahrul8530]

[@caridanbeli]

@@muhammadsyahrul8530 barang second disana belum dirakit semua kak, kalau box ada penyoknya malah bisa lebih murah lagi

[@calvintan7]

Do they do tax returns at the store?

[@caridanbeli]

in Mandarake complex, they give you tax returns after you spend a minimum of 5000 yen. and some stores give you tax-free

[@rezzakarmensa]

[@caridanbeli]

Kalo sekoper kena pasti 😬 selama jumlah dianggap tidak wajar,pasti kena

[@xenogunner]
