- EEEllison3 days ago5.0Nice, kind, polite. Large selection.
- TLTony LeeMay 30, 20255.0Probably the largest selection of Gunpla I've seen locally. There is a fair amount of turnover in inventory, so going back is a plus. Largest focus is High Grade. Don't see much real or master grade lines. Also other Bandai franchises like 30 Min and Armored Core. Additionally decals and water transfers. Small selection of paints. Finally the experience is a must. I've never been to a retailer where the staff know so much about the shows and Manga. Including suggestions. A visit here is always a informative for me and my kid!
