  • 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.

  • Ahhh I remember when you could get Gunpla model kits in Toys R Us in the states.

  • 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 now have another reason to move to japan aha

  • u live in japan?

  • I purchased PG W GUNDAM 0 for 8500 yen.

    In addition, PG Strike Rouge & mark.2 2Types etc. were purchased for 8500 yen, respectively.

    PG astray & strike freedom has not been purchased yet.

    I buy it absolutely by the end of this year.

  • @YOUWIN1970 It is a shame the new PG are so expensive now.

  • @2Old4Toys If new PG is also looked for at an auction, it is possible to buy it at a low price.

    I searched by Auction.

  • 10,000 yen??/

    :( Seems so cheap compared to buying online.

  • buy it

  • 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.

  • Damn last time any gundam was at a toys r us in the U.S. was when 0083 was airing on adult swim

  • which Toys r us is this in what city in japan?

    

  • Get the HD colour Hyaku Shiki instead.

    The under-gates combined with that beautiful finish... probably the king of limited edition models in terms of looks.

  • fk it. I'm moving

  • why, oh, why wasn't I born in Japan...

  • If you're not going to buy it, I am :|

  • 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..."

    - insert rage-face -

  • @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.

  • @ShuHibiki

    True, but that was then, and this is now.

    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.

  • I remember the days where I could go into walmart and target and find gundams and gunpla in the toy aisle....

    What happened, America... :(

  • Wow, I didn't know he lived in Japan!

  • oh, wow, this reminds me of when i was in Japan...

  • @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.

  • @ndalum75

    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?

  • @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.

  • @HaloCustomFilms There are a few hobby shops around that still sell gunpla. I'm lucky enough to li e

  • i want to get it,

  • I nearly fainted looking at the gunpla section with a MG Destiny EBM casually laying about... WHY CAN'T WE HAVE COOL STUFF LIKE THIS IN THE STATES!?!

  • Comment removed

  • 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

  • You should get it because:

    1. its cheap

    2. others may buy it when you are making up your mind

    3. besides a few dents it looks not that bad

  • If I wanted a kit that was 1/3 of it's original price, I'd get it :|

  • you have fondle in your description... lol best word ever

  • for that price bro you gotta get it, but that's just my humble opinion

  • 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

  • go for it! That thing usually goes for 30,000.

  • feels like heaven :D

  • for that price I say get it! hell you can re-sell it later on for double that if you wanted lol

  • Junior's first PG?

  • I wish Toys "R" Us in the US would have entire sections of Gundam...

  • buy buy buy it :o

  • I'd buy it for that, its essentially 60 percent off

  • 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!

  • wow :( Best Toys R Us Ever

  • Whats there to think about? If it was me I would of walked it to the register without thinking.

  • For that price...it is almost like it is free!

  • Only in japan.. ToysRUs is the states sucks.

  • @TheTraveler12 P.S.  BUY IT!!!!

  • £85 is cheap as chips for a PG Gundam

  • don't, pick up something else cause you already have the normal one, give opportunity to other kits lol

  • Since the box is a little beat up, maybe see if you can get additional discounts?

  • Well, first you'll need to change your identity, plan to move to another country, and buy an army.

    Even then your wife will track you down and make you suffer for buying a perfect grade.

  • i would totally do it.

  • It's very few and far between that you see a PG for that cheap, I say get it.

  • DO IT

  • do it! you know you want to! i would have been foaming at the mouth looking at all those gundam LOL

  • sweet....jesus... WHERE IS THIS?!

  • damn it, just get it

  • Personally I would've bought it right then and there.

  • F*ck living in europe for having to pay almost twice the price of most of kits. Dem ridiculously high custom taxes -_-

  • what part of Japan was this toys r us in? I need to know!

  • i want to go to there

  • and dont risk your marriage for wing zero (then again that is a huge discount) maybe if you guys discuss about it

  • T-t i wish toysrus had gundam models, that would be awesome, i have to order online but then again better than nothing

  • @Prime92 Agreed! It's a once in a lifetime chance! Go for it!

  • 20..20.20.... 20%? Wow i wish toys r us in the U.S. would have gundam for sale

  • Когда будут продавать Gundam в моей стране? I want it T_T

  • OMG!!! BUY BUY BUY!!!

  • I wish my Toys R Us was that awesome, they don't even carry model kits of any kind anymore, let alone Gundam...

  • i would buy it ,im sure you could ask to open it to check if all the parts are in there

  • are you buyed this kit or not

  • This kit is still 300$+ over here. :(

  • "the wife'd kill me" good one!

  • so did you get the PG at the end?

  • @hiro0500 well if he got him you will never know because his wife killed him then lol

  • cmon bandai make a 2.0 of the WZC !

  • I'll buy it off of you!

  • omg kr decade OUTDATED!!!!!!!!!

  • Go for it. You can sell them back if it does not suits you.

  • I would like a gundam Section In My toys R us in England, Please BanDai PLEASE!!!

  • @megas2468 i only know one place where we can buy gunpla in the uk but it's so expensive

  • @5trikefreedom wheres that?

    

  • @PreOAP tokyotoys in london trocadero

  • I want That shop in netherlands

  • @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.

  • @87Slifer

    Welke 2 hobby shops dan? Ik ken er maar één

  • @fl1pme1ster er is een in Amsterdam met prijzen vergelijkbaar met HLJ heet: SpaceOddity

  • @ryeang3724 Nou ik vind hun wel erg duur hoor, internet is veel goedkoper. Pokemon spullen zijn daar ook niet normaal hoog.

  • @ryeang3724

    Die ken ik wel(paar kits gekocht) maar die andere waar 87slifer het over heeft ken ik niet

  • @ryeang3724 die winkel ken ik ook maar i kvindt hem ook wel prijzig ik bestel maastal nu bij Morgenroete Inc. is meestal goed koper dan spaceodity

  • @fl1pme1ster spaceoddity.nl en visionyoys.nl

  • @87Slifer

    Dank je wel visiontoys kende ik nog niet!!!

  • Where on Earth do you live?! I used to think UK, then HK, but that's Japanese on the signs so...

  • @gamedingo5 I believe he lives on japan

  • The store I go to has the PG Pearl version too. Does the orange sticker mean the kit is discounted because of it's slightly damaged box?

  • 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.

  • aww i wish they sell gundams around my place D:

  • 3 WORDS

    FUCKING GET IT!

  • @GaberaStraight you dont like gundam huh??? lol

  • Comment removed

  • @peterconditioning you don't try to get ideas to get at me, to piss me off huh? and i said not as much, use your ears

  • @peterconditioning lol you removed your comment, and you said that you didnt like it any more

  • I hope you bought it... I wished they sold Gundam Kits in the US at TRU. I gotta go to Japan one of these days

  • @shadowguy20004 They used to years ago when Gundam Wing was on Toonami. Picked up my first MG kit there.

  • Wish they'd sell Gundam kits at my Toy's R Us.

  • 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.

  • for 10k yen, get it

  • go for it :D

  • buy it nuff said

  • 10,000 yen? Its worth 3x that!

  • damn thats cheap!

  • i dont think ur wife would b every happy lol

  • Comment removed

  • No you have the normal version already, save it for 1/48 Age-2 :P

  • buy it o.o

  • Def. buy it =D Its so cheap

  • 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.

  • YOU CAN DO IT!!!

  • dude get it

  • Do it, DO IT!

  • I doubt you are going to get a deal like this in a long time so buy it!

  • 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

  • You only live once, I say treat yourself

  • Didn't you have a PG MK-II to build?! A far more enjoyable kit for those who appreciate the mechanical design of the inner frames.

  • you should get it but before that you should check at the counter if parts of it were missing like you said in the vid

  • gunpla in a regular retail store... i am so jelly right now .__.

  • HOLY SHIT THERE''S HYAKU SHIKI!!!

  • GET IT NOW

  • Comment removed
