Would Joy Hobby be on your list of gunpla shops to visit in Korea?
Had a visit to the store back in April, wanted to buy 5 bottles of gaia notes paint, they sold me only one.. wouldn’t recommend the store for any paint shopping.. there are better stores, which sold me the exact paint without any limitation, Bought 6!!
Probably!
Heaven on earth!
The Joy Hobby in Gangnam' - "Kukjae Electronic Market" Nambu Bus Terminal has more ^^
Oh yes!!!
Here, Joy Hobby has so many big stores, products in Korea... I definitely recommend this place
Thank you for recommending this shop. I am currently visiting Seoul and already been to 2 Gundam base. Have to say, Gunpla choice is getting less and less in Seoul. For Joy Hobby, the Gunpla isle reduces to 1.5 and a lot of empty space. I still remember they were a time I picked up HG Gouf custom flight at Gangnam Gundam base. There were much more choice back then.
pretty sad that some of the mega hobby stores are gone, but thankful for your up-to-date reviews on stores that I can go to when i visit Korea!
My pleasure!
omg that place is heaven for me. definitely going there on November!
This is how it's been in the US for 3 years now up until this spring. We have had little access to gunpla but an increasing amount of Kotobukiya. I switched mostly to Frame Arms Girls and such. However this spring it started to turn around and we have been getting Bandai stock and levels are returning to normal. There are even chain stores like Target that carry the Gundam Aerial.
This store looks like heaven.
I would like to visit. Btw ur English speaking is excellent!!! 🤗😄😉
I would spend lots of money here. Thankfully I live far away. Great review!
Good thing for your wallet!
Thank you for this video review and it is good to have you back on RUclips
good to see you again~!!
thank you! always nice to upload a vid :)
What a stunning selection of hobby kits! It's a shame the gunpla section isn't as large as it used to be.
On an unrelated note, I was wondering if you were planning on doing a waterslide decal tutorial. Your airbrush videos were exceptionally helpful!
Thanks! Maybe in the future :)
the thumbnail turned out great. So it was worth it 🤣
Thanks!
If i go to Korea i need to re watch this video, thanks so much Frostedsnow!!!
So many cool displays ! thank you for sharing
So clean and well lit. Most hobby shops I've to here in the US seem dingy and overstocked. Sad to hear hobby stores aren't doing so well over there. I wonder if it's due to lack of interest or if kids these days aren't into things that take patience and focus.
The patience and focus part is the best part of it for me!
I think mostly cuz of covid and less people going out to shop physically, job loss, less tourists, and overall poor economy :(
Already went there last summer, and I'm definitely going back this summer :)
I had a great time in Korea, I visited as many shops and Gundam Bases (Yongsan, Busan) as I could ^^
Love the hobby store videos
Such a awesome tour Sharon thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it Anthony!!
Love the video, so curious to see this! Korean stores are so clean and shiny, polished glass everywhere, nice!
Ah cool , gonna visit my next visit.
Enjoy!
@@frostedsnow thanks! Living in us takes away joy of visiting actual gunpla or import toy store.
Thanks! Can't wait to see your tri-star.
thanks! working hard on it!
Great video!
Thanks for showing us around!
thanks for joining me!
😅 I wish I could say happen to be close by, maybe one day I will get to experience such a cool store. For now I'm over seas
This is so cool! 😃
Thank you so much for the store :) ive been building my gunpla collection since i got to korea only problem now is getting them back to the states
Expensive problem!
Wow very cool store
So cool! Sad to hear hobby shops are becoming scarce tho 😭
me too :(
damn. the available gunplas are somewhat the same with what they have in my country
it was weird because the store had a large witch from mercury poster on the window but no witch from mercury kits
Maybe also low stock :(
Great Video 🤖 ❤
That's such an amazing store! The nearest hobby store where I live in North Carolina is over an hour away and has only two aisles of modeling supplies (gunpla/car/airplane kits, tools, and paints) so it's not even worth making the trip over there, so everything I get is from online stores. I hate hearing the shops in Korea are starting to shrink or close, but I suppose everything is shifting to online stores these days. 😔
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! Going back to korea this fall! Ill try and go back to daegu and find my local shops. Sad that covid took out so many.
Hope you enjoy the shop!
Hi, I'm wondering what grit of sandpaper should I be using for the surface of resin kits? I'm building my first one now and the toothbrush is not enough for this one
Nice
thanks!
I literally work at the hyundai department store right next ahaha I go there usually once a month the first Saturday they tend to have new mg or 1/100 gunpla. But yes compared to few years ago it's hard to get some kits 😢
와우~ '조이하비'에 다녀가셨군요 ~ ^^
재밌게 구경했어요^^
Totally feel you about the thumbnail part :)
Also yeah, I live in europe and most gundam kits aren't available at all, those that are go at double the original price..yay.
At least u got the warhammer world over there? ㅠㅠ
@@frostedsnow hey, thanks for the reply 😁
Yeah but Warhammer stuff is pricey by default. Speaking of though, candy paint titans and dreadnoughts/knights when? xD
great VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol Chris thanks for saying so before playing the whole vid!
@@frostedsnow LOL I already know :P
Mobile suit model kit in joy hobby it's very nice to be collections at home,I very like mobile suit model kit also anime movie
Thank you for the videos. I am afraid they may become some sort of documentaries for future generations 😢 All the hobby shops seem to be struggling in Seoul. I think even the 'new' Anitong is closed for good now.
I wonder if the common denominator is actually Bandai. Over the past few weeks I have been to Joy Hobbies, Side 7 (near Konkuk), Kukje Electronic Centre and two Gundam Bases. There are simply no Gunpla stock around, not even for Gundam Base.
How things have changed from the days when Gunpla filled a whole floor of Hobby Factory, and even the small-ish Nowon Gundam Base had the full lineup on display 😑 All these shops seem to be relying on other items (remote control cars, train sets, figures, military sets, etc.) now to keep things going instead. Where are the Gunpla kits, Bandai?
If I ever make a trip to Korea, I will keep this in mind.
I need a places to go list for Korea, just to have enough reasons to go.
still decent amount of shops and worth the visit!
日本でもここまで品揃えが豊富なお店はなかなかないと思います。
韓国の人もホビー買うならこのお店！って感じでしょうか？
am coming to this shop
Enjoy :)
Best way to buy gunpla in Korea in mho, are either from site called Gundam Mall, Gundam base or seond hand. I am one of those who benefit from others misfortune. I buy Gunpla second hand from other married man, who got caught by wife, and had to sell cheap.
more!
Did they have Star Wars or one piece model kits
조이하비 좋죠! 인터넷 사이트도 있고 건담베이스처럼 종류도 많고 그외의 프라모델들도 많고!
moving to korea
❤❤😮😮
강원도 지방은 마트외에는 구매할곳이 전혀 없는게 아쉽다. 가끔은 이렇게 직접 방문해서 구매하는게 즐거움.
Hobbyland in Daegu is a small shop packed with Gunpla, other model kits, paints, and good prices. Worth visiting if in Daegu.
thanks for the recommendation!
@@frostedsnow You are welcome. Orctown in Seoul was another hobby store that had to switch to internet only due to covid. I was saddened by that, however, the owner of Orctown did point me to Joy Hobby., which I did visit.
I would like to have a gundam even if it is unpainted, I know how to paint, but I don't have the tools and resin, maybe you can help me have it, I don't have a budget but it's my dream to have
What kind of camera are you using?
So when she says "box prices" as opposed to "premium" prices, is that to mean MSRP? Because that's a relatively reasonable price already. Unless retail prices are generally much higher in Korea...
Its messed up how you cannot find a store like this in Japan. NOt even in Akihabara. Yodobashi aint even close.
Do you live in South Korea??? I am going to visit this place this Oct upcoming on my vacation! I love here
I do and have fun!
Nice shop! What would be the cheapest option in seoul? I've heard that there's an Asem store in yongsan...
I haven't visited but on my to go list!
I wish there were stores like this in the US, or that they were more common
솔직히 여긴 건프라 외에 다른 회사거 사러 가거나 도색 재료 사러감 ㅋㅋ
20년도 이후로 건프라 생산 물량 확 줄어들면서 여기도 예외가 아니었음
I would go bankrupt if there was a store like this near me...
Self control!
I think everywhere is low stock from Bandi.... Australia is completely empty!
That's too bad! Ugh!
Would love to be educated and exposed to Korean made tools, paints or resins. I only know of SAB, Delpi, IPP and I'm sure there are more. Oh, I love Arttystation too.
Would you ever post videos of non-gunpla builds/paints?
maybe sprinkles here and there?
That place looks great. Much different from the Gundam shop in the I Park mall I used to visit when I lived in Seoul about 12 years ago. I didn't start building until maybe 3 years ago, but I would still go just look at everything.
I would have hit the like button, but it's already at 666, so I don't wanna ruin that (metaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!!!) Anyway, its really a shame that hobby shops are closing up due to COVID, it's one of the things I love visiting when going to Japan or any other foreign country. BTW, I'm also looking for some plastic tubes to replace the metal tubes for some various SH Studio Zaku kits. Do you happen to know the diameter? I will probably try and find some when I'm in Japan in a couple of months if I have time (and if there are any shops around). Great video as always Sharon!
Don't have the diameter on hand but after building the weapon i decided to keep the metal rod as I think it's to prevent it from bending under weight!
@@frostedsnow Ah ok, makes sense. Gonna show that build on a future video? I have the Shin Matsunaga and Johnny Ridden kits in my backlog.
I would probably spend days in a store like that, just amazed at the size of the plamo variety. I just don't see stores like that where I live in the US.
The overall situation for Gunpla is the same in Taiwan, many shops have limited stock but if it's a recent restock they will at least have it unless it's a Witch from Mercury kit... those tended to go really fast.
That Four figure was VERY overpriced in Tokyo but quite reasonable in Taipei.
Tbh ive had a biased view on women gunpla builders. But after looking at most of ur careful tutorials and all the clean builds youve made and all the videos youve made. I cant help but be awed by ur expertise. 응원할게요 영상들도 한두번 보다 계속 보고보니까 시행착오를 겪은것들 영상 튜토리얼로 나와서 진작에 볼걸. 이런 생각도 많이들었어요 ㅎㅎ
좋은 말씀 감사합니다. I hope my videos continue to be helpful!
좋긴한데 한국은 포인트랑 할인쿠폰 때문에 건담베이스를 많이가는듯합니다
Wow beautiful can i have 1 plesssssssss
my name is joy
Hi Joy : )
It's a huge sin on walking to this store whilst remained broke.
tante idaman
I am not see transformers 😢
Wow, hard to believe Asian countries are losing interest with model building. Unlike the US which is completely scarce.
I think just hard time getting kits... not aure
Meanwhile in North Korea…..
The Koreans still have animosity towards Japan.(and its not "just the old generation" plenty of young Koreans. My GF is 27 and has strong negative feelings towards Japan)Hence the significantly fewer gundam bases. Yall need to stop mistaking anime and gundam as an Asian wide thing. Korea is is its own nation with its own identity and culture. I'm not sure why westeners come to Korea/other Asian countries and immediately go "WHERE'S THE GUNDAM AND ANIME". If you want that. Go to Japan
Been to these. Even recognize the blue line stops
Wish i knew about this when i was in Korea just a few weeks ago...
next time T_T
Wow, so many resin model n accessories
Didnt buy anything? 😅
My wallet was proud of me :)
Sadly I was unable to get your newtype link to work
I clicked the link, got redirected to the newtype homepage,nothing (price stayed the same, no coupon applied at checkout)
Tried typing in "frostedsnow, FROSTEDSNOW, frostedsnow10, etc." -- all invalid coupon codes
Does the link still work?
