Great selection of gunpla, owner was very polite and accommodating.

Before visiting the store, I gave them a call ahead to check if they allow in-store browsing, I always want to call ahead to check covid related policies since every store is different.

So during my call I was informed that they are an online store, and only do curbside pick up as of the moment. So I asked if theres any way I can go in and check out his store. I am new to the hobby so I enjoy checking out the displays on the stores if there is any.

The owner was kind enough to make an exemption to let me in and browse in his store so long as I follow their covid saftey policies, which is not an issue to me at all. After all... saftey first right? 😁... The boxes of their stocks at the store front didn't bother me at all since they normally dont allow in-store browsing. The experience was the best out of the three stores I visited within 20 mile radius from me, the owner was more than happy to tell me all about gunpla. You can tell he's very knowledgeable about his products and enjoys it. Other stores I visited had better inventory but poor customer interaction, almost felt like they hated being there. I bought 2 kits that day, an mgex unicorn and mg 00 xn raiser, 4 days later I found out he just had some sazabi ver ka came in stock so I dropped by and grabbed one 😅.

Shopping experience was great, would easily recommend to friends. My go-to place for my gunpla needs now. You da...

Great little shop with an amazing selection! As soon as I walked in I was overwhelmed (in a good way) at the amount of boxes on both sides of the walls! The staff was very attentive and kind. In terms of Gundam models, they mostly have High Grade kits but they still carried plenty of Real Grades and Master Grades. They had a beautifully healthy amount of Universal Century kits, Alot of the new Seed Movie kits, a large amount of Witch of Mercury kits, and some Age some Build Figthers/Build Divers and some Iron Blooded Orphans. They also had One Peice kits, 30 minute missions. Tools and paints and "figure" stands were also available and from what I remember there were plenty of options. Prices were perfect! Staff did not try to overprice or tax ME for the tariff raises which was amazing. I would have gladly paid for a reasonable adjustment due to inflation and whatnot as I have in other shops but the prices here were not jacked at all! I would recommend this shop to anyone and everyone who enjoys...

Got my my MG Quanta Full Saber there for a few bucks cheaper. When it comes to Gunpla selections, this store serves fine. It's not really incredible or bad. Supplies were out completely when we came. Store looks like it either just moved in or it's about to move out, we didn't really mind, but it can be a bit more neat for the customers. Now for the bad part, the owner or whoever that was sitting at the front kept telling us not to touch anything. Of course there are people who aren't mindful and respectful of the store before. Me and my gf were fully aware of this so we just didn't touch anything at all. He just kept repeating the same thing even when I asked questions about the prices. Mind you, we are really easy going people and don't mind most of this, BUT for people who are picky, you will not have a good experience. Tldr: Okay selection of Gunplas, supplies were out, store looks like a mess up front, this one dude will keep telling you not to...
