632 - Gunpla Shopping in Japan: Gundam Front Tokyo Official Shops

If the 1:1 scale Gundam, the Gunpla Tokyo museum, or everything in the pay zone wasn't enough to get you to Odaiba, there's also the official shops! They've got Gunpla (and loads Gundam-related items) filling the shelves, plus lots of exclusive products that can only be purchased at Gundam Front Tokyo!

mobile suit gundam: char's counterasnack

[@hiruma4142]

Did you just called Meijin Kawaguchi "Freak"?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes. Yes, I did.

[@gundamfan2020]

lol awesome zack you legend

[@plumdabestP]

+ZakuAurelius savage xD

[@pektiongang9524]

Lol

[@ThePinoyNRG]

I love this series youre doing! I've always wanted to go to these places but you're giving me a sneak peak at what to expect when I do go there one day :D

[@ZeroStriker426]

Damn, Char's Counterattack for the PS1... love that game, even though it severely lacks content. That aside, I want those Char snacks, 3x the spice :D

[@thesniperjoe5119]

These videos are awesome and only fuel my desire to spend my vacation days doing a crazy Gunpla trip.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Do it!

[@WR3ND]

"Here, of course, Char's snack is three times as spicy." 😅 Nice.

[@Isteak80]

Back when I lived in Tokyo, nothing seemed to beat the prices of Yodobashi and Bic camera, if you weren't looking for exclusives. For that I'd go to Hobby-Off, you could find some crazy rare stuff there sometimes.

[@bom1a7]

You don't like Meijin Kawaguchis sunglasses?

[@ZakuAurelius]

No, I didn't care for them.

[@bertlobertas]

that's how he will look like in the anime when he aged there. lol

[@PRrrr_neutral]

Ha, meijin kawaguchi. So the anime meijin glasses is based on that real guy

[@hippoace]

maybe it is just staged for the anime persona haha

[@ExcieXC]

Loving the games timeline and the artworks. Next, Akihabara! I'm gonna assume you went to Mandarake, Kotobukiya and Yellow submarine!

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes yes and yes

[@danielfoo9203]

Take my advice,if you don't know where to get cheap gundams in Japan,just go to Yodobashi,it's a huge chain of giant shopping malls filled with tons of IT and other stuffs including gundams,they can be found at every city (not sure),but one thing is for sure that the model kits there are cheap.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah, I've got an episode featuring Yodobashi coming up soon~

[@danielfoo9203]

+ZakuAurelius nice !

[@teetee580]

Jeez, 23000 Yen for a jacket.... Couldn't see a MG except for the 3.0, or did I missed something? Anyways, that was another great video, looking forward to the next one. Those guys over at MindFenix are great for sponsoring you and treating us to a "visit to Japan". Thanks!!!!!!!

[@ZakuAurelius]

I agree, they are very generous!

[@anastudioofficial]

That GPhenex is cool looking.Can't wait to see the result of comparing the prices!

[@tiberium511]

I've been wanting to do a Zeon jacket with an M65 field coat I have

[@gudakoalter]

man I love that Delta Gundam II GFT

[@ZakuAurelius]

It's nice!

[@warpath16]

so amazing, hope to come here someday... - that limited kits though... so awesome :) thanks for the trip to gundam fron tokyo :)

[@tyewood1081]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and you've got me interested in building models again. Thanks for the painting video. It was the first one I watched, and I liked it so much I got online and found the nearest hobby shop. So I had to subscribe. I'm 20,311 Ty Wood. Thanks for the great videos, and please keep them coming!

[@magiciansghost]

I'm a fan of your channel. Thank you for visiting to Japan :)

[@ZakuAurelius]

Thanks for enjoying the videos!

[@silvermavrik]

I was there 2 days before you and the video game area wasn't open yet D:

[@ZakuAurelius]

Bummer man!

[@CryCLLViolin]

12:51 That man is on a Hy-Gogg spree.

[@ZakuAurelius]

+CryCLL_Violin Haha, he was staff restocking the shelf~

[@HoninboDM]

that intro. What a legend. Haha!

[@ZakuAurelius]

+Julian Cortes ;D

[@seansongzhao8218]

Oh baby I'm going there in two weeks

[@vali69]

My dream is now to go to a gundam shop =(((... Too bad theres no online shop or store to sell gunpla in my country... To get one i would have to buy from amazon on ebay and then pay as much or even more for import fees and shipping D=...soo sad...

[@0wind0]

I think we've found the real meijien Kawaguchi

[@ZakuAurelius]

+gamerstyle forlife Yeah, he was the original. The anime character was based off the real guy.

[@nichii6885]

i think that old man is the second meijin kawaguchi

[@ZakuAurelius]

Lol, he's the original!

[@jf_rides]

nice glasses freak!!!!!!!!!!hahaha.love that.

[@lamefame8723]

just got into thx i got a lot to catch up

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Balding dude with the glasses building a toy robot was freaking hilarious and not in a good way.

[@amieljacob1515]

I need to by new tools, glue, highlighter, and a new gundam.. oh and stickers!

[@jeremydias4722]

that moment when zach tried the action pens

[@RickTrajan]

why?!

[@jeremydias4722]

+RickTrajan well jusst because it was that one silent yet enjoyable moments in our childhood to try all gimmicks with the toys that had 'try me'

[@vincelou4534]

always loved those acguy gft version

[@GomuGomu4]

Is there a fee you have to pay for the big bulk or big boxes of gunpla? In Japan's airport? Also is it OK to buy Spray Paints and Panel lines?

[@amieljacob1515]

*In The Philippines gundams are only $20+ each no different price in TOYS R US.*

[@jieqiiii]

Hi @zakuaurelius, I've been subscribed to your channel for some time now and frankly I really like your reviews. However, I think you should consider how you call those kits garbage and stuff. The staff at BANDAI put in a lot of effort to design and produce those kits. Even if the kits are not so awesome now, you can still refer to them as dated or something. I'm sure you wouldn't want anyone to call the kits you've built trash.

[@ZakuAurelius]

It's just joking.

[@2011053406]

id just love 2 teleport there and teleport back home with a truck full of gundam mmm

[@RadiantEdge027]

The Meijin Glasses are real. Hahahaha

[@tellingyoustories]

Ha! Nice opening

[@Coolio_Ash]

CLASSY START LOL

[@lliamweivilla4820]

When you enter the store for the first gives you a mental breakdown

[@kajkun1384]

sweet track Zak!

[@shuuyakano2390]

The Artbook with the animation cels looked really nice is that exclusive or where canI I buy it?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Dunno where else you could buy that, but it was super nice!

[@0wind0]

Zach nice vid, I've been watching your videos for a wile now but I didn't have a KZbin channel

[@ZakuAurelius]

+gamerstyle forlife Well glad you made it! Thanks for enjoying my videos~

[@itegamer]

hi ,i just stared to build gunpla,so i a newbie,i just want to ask ,i heard from others that in japan ,there are shops that don't sell SD Gundam BB Senshi or old SD Gundam BB Senshi,is that true??

[@ethanl.9541]

Reminds me of the Mejin glasses

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yeah that's the real "Meijin" Kawaguchi. After Build Fighters he now sometimes wears those glasses in promotional material.

[@hazumi8739]

dat bearguy plush!! XD

[@TRMHDW]

your video became longer, im looking forward for more of your hobbyshop tours.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Lots more!

[@TRMHDW]

Yeah! Can you make the filming stop at master grades when you filming them so i can pause it? Im inspired of costumizing my MGs bcos of your videos. Keep it up sir!

[@mobiusZero2]

another give away? well better we prepare for it. Plus i was hoping to see Gundam Battle Assault 2 on the ps1 in the game sections ...seems they don't have it or no more space to fit it. It was that game that got me into gunpla. Man I would love to get that game again

[@ZakuAurelius]

That game was awesome!

[@anthonypascua4878]

Do they sell like frames for the 1/100 Gusion Rebake? Alot of wasted plastic on that kit.

[@ZakuAurelius]

No~

[@kin263]

I bought my gundam HG phenex fight mode limited there.

[@kevinnazario1015]

I like the gundam franchise in overall terms,although i like mazinger,macross and patlabor far more.I have about 20 different kits, some books and some video games. But i simply cannot understand how is that bandai can sell so many models,toys and other merchandise to this level of saturation. is mindbogling!!! 10,000 version of the same damn robot. i mean,you can say that hasbro and disney do exactly the same with star wars. but star wars stores taken to this level?? is ridiculous.again i cannot understand this level of fanatism

[@davidguevara8867]

That guy with the cyclops looking glasses. Who's is he? I've seen him in many gunpla videos before.

[@ZakuAurelius]

That's Katsumi Kawaguchi. He's basically Bandai's spokesman for Gunpla, a master, and the inspiration for the Meijin Kawaguchi character in build fighters

[@lunamariahawke9320]

OmG, I´m going to die if I travel to Japan and visit that store (and after that, I would be totaly broke xD)

[@xgalex6191]

Man, japan gets the best dang stuff xD

[@joshuanamenyi6603]

hey Zaku, do you always remove the nubs off of the kits you build?

[@ZakuAurelius]

Of course!

[@ilhanaariz3928]

Yo this place would hurt my wallet

[@micoproblemado]

I’m looking for HeavyArms and Deathscythe Converge, which shop would you recommend? Thanks!

[@AyaxRo]

EPIC.

[@markkennethdevilla6566]

I want that secret gunpla

[@gundamfan2020]

meltdown 2.1.0 lol ahhhhh so many boxes so many nubs nubs nubses 😍 gundam mecca you inspire us all dude

[@bingbonghahaxd9341]

They don't have Hg much don't they?

[@SeniorBrochacho]

0:23 HA! NERD! Are you ever gonna do a review of the Mega Size kits? I've been looking into one of those kits.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes actually very soon!

[@SeniorBrochacho]

Glad to hear it,dude!

[@kapkan3420]

I want that jacket

[@jabman025]

walks down MG isle I'm like "got it got it got it, need it"

[@Thomas-fk6ep]

!!!yes

[@LinusOStopMotion]

Wow, best place to buy Gunpla..lol

[@andrewjohnson7703]

What is that dark grey gundam in the display? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[@trapman8791]

If you mean the gundam at the 2:54 mark, next to the G-self Gundam, that's the G-Phenex Destroy Mode. EDIT: It could be the Unicorn Gundam Phenex Type RC but that's more silverish than grey iirc

[@demoniktusk758]

Whats the difference between SD and Converged and why do they exist? (im not saying i dont like them)

[@ZakuAurelius]

They exist cause people buy them. SD are kits you build, Converge are just little figures.

[@supralmf]

do they only have GFS limit kits or they even have some p-bandai online kits too at the GFS?

[@ZakuAurelius]

+supralmf GFS?

[@supralmf]

i guess gundam front store/ gundam store front. the ones in the gift stop filmed in the video

[@samshji]

I don't mind even if you give away an action base lol. I need it as much as i want to add another gunpla o my collection. xD

[@ZakuAurelius]

I feel ya!

[@jieqiiii]

that freak is meijin kawaguchi!

[@ZakuAurelius]

Yes, I know

[@Larc3069]

Is it cheaper if you buy there or is it mall price?

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

you have a Playstation 3 right? you should see about getting one of the Gundam Breaker games and one of the Gundam Extreme VS games.

[@ZakuAurelius]

I don't have a PS3. I have a Wii, 360, and DSI. That's as far as I got before I basically stopped playing videogames.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

ZakuAurelius well that's a shame. I just got Gundam Breaker 3 and it's really cool. this is the Gundam I built. 65.media.tumblr.com/5bf2aad1428f3fb4fb8800cd26168c5e/tumblr_o7gl4sB6PG1rfjay7o5_1280.jpg

[@LowResBS240p]

[@Kyra-1138]

[@ZakuAurelius]
