I'm glad I'm in the USAF now when I travel to Japan I can go bye bye America hello Japan and your better stocked shelves. I swear everything they sell here is pointless if it isn't an electronic or if you're not buying computer parts.
THIS IS SO LOL i live in europe and we did have a tiny little gundam shop with fue kits........ but it was so unpopular that it got closed after just some weeks.
I remember having my mom take me down to the local Fred Meyers to get me gunpla, now I have to pay an arm and a leg for shipping or pay just as much at my local Hobbytown.
So they not only have huge aisles full of Gunpla, but a CLEARANCE aisle of Gunpla at 20% off to boot.
It's like "Oh hai, we've got so many top-choice kits here that they're coming out of our ears so we're putting them on clearance, but god forbid we establish some kind of market in the rest of the world for places that would love to have a selection like this, so instead well just make people pay as much for shipping as the model itself costs just to get them..."
@crapmunky99 It's not that they hate us, it's just that the numbers wouldn't pay off. They tried it in the early 00's (decade) and tried putting out way more stuff than would actually ever sell, and it ended up blowing up in Bandai's face. Maybe we'll see Gundam kits and figures on our shelves again some day, but hopefully they'll be much delicate about it next time.
Though I don't see why they can't give us the games that don't suck instead of the ones that do.
Gundam is quite a bit more popular now than it was in the early 2000's, which I imagine is due to, in no small part, YouTube users like 2Old uploading videos about Gunpla.
If they brought Gundam back to the US (and other areas) I have a feeling it would be more successful than it had been in the past.
But if the Gundam games we get are to be any form of indication, I doubt it'll happen any time soon.
@HaloCustomFilms You can still buy some in hobby shops around the country. I go to one in Berkeley, CA for most of my gunpla. Unfortunately, such places are few and far between.
@JLCL01 Try talking to the owner and see if he has any interest in selling them again. If he does, great. If not, you didn't hurt by asking. Also, recently Bandai released one robot damashii figure (ShinkenRed) in toy stores in the States. If that does well enough you could see other robot damashii figures show up, possibly paving the way for gunpla as well.
Gundam was mainstream in the California when I was growing up as a kid. I remember my local Toys 'R' Us having so many MSIA figures and kits that I would end up pulling on my mother's coat all the time begging for more time to choose. Now for everything Gundam I go to the internets :l
HD Color Hyaku Shiki AND Titanium Finish Unicorn?! Why can't the toysrus here in the states carry things like that. We're stuck with bieber dolls and cardboard cutouts...
well i'd say toys R us is the worst place to look for a bargain... over here in Malaysia and Singapore the price difference between Toys R us and a regular shop would be about US$20
This makes me mad. When I was a kid, I clearly remember being able to purchase gundams at the local toysRus or Zellers. You can't get them anymore in Windsor :/ I'm jealous!
@TheJefbo666 We have this shop in the netherlands. It's called toys for us. We don't have any gundams in our country ofcourse except for 2 hobby shops.
Hey, 10,000 yen for a PG kit; and your thinking about it? !@#$ing get it, 1/3 off for crying out loud. If not pick it up for me and I'll pay the shipping.
I'd even get it to sell it on since I think there are plenty of Wing fans who'd love it. I'm not one of them myself, but I know there are guys who want every version of this and for that price.
I would check the insides of the box, you could always polish with a 2000 grit sandpaper or higher, sure their may be some nicks and dents but nothing too noticeable.
I wouldn't buy it, if you already have one version of the kit. You can instead use some of that money to buy some MG or HG suits that you always wanted but never got around to buying.
What really impresses me about this video is the fact that I am seeing Gunpla in a ToysRus.
Here in the United States, I only see Gunpla model kits in specialty hobby stores. From what I've heard, at one time, there were Gunpla kits sold in ToysRus stores here in the States.
@likeits1985 used to be gunpla in toysrus stores here in au. and i missed out on its sale when it happened a long time ago. these days they dont sell them at all

My local hobby shop, I believe, used to carry mecha models (primarily Gunpla, I'm assuming) more than a decade ago. Now, they don't carry any.
Is there any way to convince them to carry at least a few (like, 2 or 3 model kits) on their shelves?
