I was in Japan at the end of May. I went to Gundam Factory but unfortunately they closed down for a week :'( But at least I was able to see Unicorn in Odaiba :)
I really need to visit the factory when I next get back over there. Although it could be dangerous for the old wallet and practicality... Had enough "fun" trying to work out how to get the PG RX-0 that I bought back home to the UK the last time we visited in 2018... Still not finished my build of that yet... Currently trying to order some spare parts, not an easy thing to do in the UK...
I was able to hit 3 of the GUndam places. GUndam Odaiba, Gundam Factory Yokohama and Gundam base Fukuoka. WIsh I had more itme at Fukuoka. THere was a little cafe there with a screen that makes it look like you are inside one the Side satelittes.
I recommend going to book off super bazaar. They have a big selection of gunplas. Not to mention you can find a bunch of other stuff like books, mangas, games, CDs, figures, cards, etc, etc. I went to the one in machida, tokyo but im sure you can find other ones too.
I was there last month, it was amazing. Can't wait to come back and go to the newest Gundam base. Just started this hobby but starting with the simple builds first, the more detailed ones look a little daunting to me.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing good amount detail of facility. As I was watching I couldn't help but realize the workers. The amount of time to dust clean every single piece in that facility has to be insane amount of hours to do. Kudos to them let's not overlook that. Must have been amazing to see a $730m project in motion.
Thank you for the awesome video, a little sad that I missed Amora's gundam when I was last there and the Haru popcorn. It was amazing to see this again.
i went to the gundam factory and saw the moving rx-78f00 but unfortunately that was on my last day in japan so i couldnt go to the unicorn since i hadnt gone to akihabara yet still super awesome nonetheless
Too bad they got rid of the cafe and trailer at Gundam Base ☹️ I still have a sakura-themed Gundam Unicorn drink bottle from when I bought a bubble tea there
Hi Meli. So they allow photographing or recording in the Gundam Base Store at Yokohama now? I saw some other vlogs saying you are not allowed to film or record inside the shop at the Gundam Dock. My family and I will be there in a couple weeks so, I just wanted to get some more info. Thanks! Always love your collection and Gunpla builds!
When I went to the Factory in Yokohama, they were all sold out of all the souvenir popcorn and drink containers. I really wanted a pink-chan to take home.
It looks like you truly enjoyed yourself on this trip. It also sounds like you stayed under budget this trip, at least when it came to buying things. I do wonder about the shipping\baggage cost though. Just remember you can always refill that pink blob container with good popcorn.
Enjoy watching your videos. Just curious as to how much the average cost is to travel to the Gundam factory in Yokohama. Not looking at air fare because that obviously will differ from point of origin. But along the lines of where to stay and traveling from a good hotel to the factory.
So awesome to see the displays, I appreciate the sharing, I'd like to go but school and work has me busy, fun to take a peek at the history of gundams and gunpla, your trips look like a lot of fun too.
Watching the building-sized gundam move around gave me goosebumps
the first song in the background... ohh so much memories :)
@ 5:16 oh yeah those "gundams"...are looking great🤩
Yes, I saw those twins as well.
thank you for the tour, one of the best tour i've even seen, other vloggers just do some sneak peak but this video shows a lot
Glad you enjoyed it!
We meet again gentlemen of culture. Lets have a vote ! Meli with or without her glasses 🤓, im saying with 👍.
With! She’s rocking the sexy, librarian, or nerdy, hot girl look
I can see why you feel so inspired for wanting to make a diorama
Thank you for being so generous, for making this video and sharing with us!
Those dioramas are amazing! Seeing that life sized Gundam move is mind boggling cool! I can't wait to go to Japan!!! Waiting on my passport...
awesome!! 😃🙂😃😃 ty meli!!😊😊💛👏👏👏🙌👍🤙🤟🤞✌🤞
lol! when the huge gundam at the end raised its hand, it looked like it was giving the finger!😂
21:17 OMG 😲 😮😮 That thing is huge.

I got to visit Gundam Base and Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba back in 2018. Very cool. Of course, I hadn't seen much Gundam at that time....
I was able to hit 3 of the GUndam places. GUndam Odaiba, Gundam Factory Yokohama and Gundam base Fukuoka. WIsh I had more itme at Fukuoka. THere was a little cafe there with a screen that makes it look like you are inside one the Side satelittes.
Cool giant Gundam style Robots! Thanks.
wow the giant gundam its amazing.....
Cool, I was just there. Wish I could have seen the life-size Godzilla!
Luv that headless Rx78 final shot up
As a Gundam fan going to Japan in 3 weeks, I am going to study this whole video!
heading in october myself. I'll be hitting up these places as well. Have fun on your trip.
21 July for me.

Oh my! I was there at Gundam Factory Yokohama last week! I so so so hope to meet and take a photo with you! (lovely)

A robot building Gundam is AWESOME!!!!
Odaiba!! I miss that, visited that place when I was not yet into Gundam (2019).
Nice camera work! no motion sickness, Thanks🙂
Awesome! @20:47 and maximum playback speed, gundam movements are still slow though.
I miss building gundam. Love the PGs.
It’s soooo cool !!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Haha you finally meet the actual size Gundam, that's great😊🤞👍
Thank you for the tour. I went to Yokohama for New Years. I'll probably try to go to Odaiba next year.
Whoa, that's a lot of Gundam.
Nice store, I would go broke for sure..and the video at the end of that gundam moving its pretty cool.
Cool. Someday I want to go to Japan to see these exhibitions.
Can't wait to see your diorama, I know it will be breathtaking.
I was there last week too ;-). Didn’t do the Factory as mist reviews said its not worth it.
So great
Gundam heaven, it is a beautiful place.
Thank you for the tour, very cool!
02:49 the reflection of the flickering light in the glass panel looks like the beam rifle is about to be fired.
Damn! The twins are out today.
Awesome video, very detailed and informative.
Thank you for sharing with us
Gundam unicorn statue in Tokyo! Bummer that it's closed 😢😢😢😢
Nope, is not.
I went in march right after they announced the extension of the yokohama gundam, none of the food trucks or cups were open and sold out 😞
Well come to Japan Meli ♪
Thank you for making this fun and insightful vlog!
Really badass how you got to travel to Japan and witness such cool things. You must feel really fortunate Meli.
Thank you so much for documenting all this! Cause I’ll never see it before it closes
Awesome vlog!!👍
Thank you for the tour! :) I'll work hard to get to live it myself... aaaahhh its soooo coooooool!
God bless Gundam in Japan 🇯🇵
I didn't know Qubeley existed prior to watching this video. It made me buy the P-Bandai version and it's now one of my favourite kits
i went to the gundam factory and saw the moving rx-78f00 but unfortunately that was on my last day in japan so i couldnt go to the unicorn since i hadnt gone to akihabara yet
still super awesome nonetheless
Too bad they got rid of the cafe and trailer at Gundam Base ☹️ I still have a sakura-themed Gundam Unicorn drink bottle from when I bought a bubble tea there
Thank you for the nice tour Meli. Hope to go there someday too. Keep safe
I was there back in April, it is such a cool store! We may have had to buy an extra suitcase to bring back stuff we bought.
Thank you for sharing, always wanted to go there, so i know i must go now :)
USD > JPY exchange rate is good now, should buy all the p-bandai.
YOOOOO I want to go see this! if only we had one in the US (we need a Gundam Revival out here the way they try hard to keep Transformers Relevant xD)
Just got back from my trip rn the Gundam unicorn store inside the mall was insane
Looks like it was an awesome trip!!👍😁🥰
I went to the Gundam base in Odaiba island it was amazing 🤩😁
That Gundam from Mercury you were looking for, I see a lot at target. I'm surprised they sold put in Japan...
So cool rx 78, love you meli ❤
that gundam on the beginning are so BIG
Hi Meli. So they allow photographing or recording in the Gundam Base Store at Yokohama now? I saw some other vlogs saying you are not allowed to film or record inside the shop at the Gundam Dock. My family and I will be there in a couple weeks so, I just wanted to get some more info. Thanks!
Always love your collection and Gunpla builds!
Bravo! I went to see the Yokohama Gundam in early April, it was really touching and striking!!!
We gather once again
welcome Japan!
I remember going to the Gundam Factory wanting to buy a really expensive pair of gloves. Ended up not buying them, but now I'm regretting it.
Fukuoka also has the Gundam Statue . Wana take a look? U can uee Shinkansen.
are you doing a meet and greet here in Tokyo?
Gundam Forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😍👍 I watch your videos every time. thank you for sharing✨
When I went to the Factory in Yokohama, they were all sold out of all the souvenir popcorn and drink containers. I really wanted a pink-chan to take home.
holy crap 20:47 ! so awesome
Pretty cool!
3:04 I legit thought that was an MG Messala for a second. Didn't know the HG was that big.
Meli keep up the good work.
Gundam fan here.
Nice front, as always..😂
1:50
HOLY! Is that... Eternal Wind? I literally haven't heard or thought of that song in over 15 years now... T_T
It looks like you truly enjoyed yourself on this trip. It also sounds like you stayed under budget this trip, at least when it came to buying things. I do wonder about the shipping\baggage cost though. Just remember you can always refill that pink blob container with good popcorn.
I really got to ask my brother if he can swing by gundam base someday and pick me up a few kits along with some merch.
I really want the Hello Kitty Gunpla for some reason...
19:10 wow that’s 200 bucks 😳
something something MEN OF CULTURE 🍻 YEEEE
One of those “Chewie, we’re home!” moments
Love the bomber jackets, Meli! Though kinda pricey...
aww. I remember I bought my Unicorn in that store, now closed.
i come for gundam, it looks so plump
Dearest Men of Culture I'm the first to comment and I'm amazed on the beauty of those 2 big Gundams!
Man, I hope you meant that popcorn ball was 2600 yen and not 26000, because ~$185 for plastic ball of popcorn and a lanyard is bonkers!
Enjoy watching your videos. Just curious as to how much the average cost is to travel to the Gundam factory in Yokohama. Not looking at air fare because that obviously will differ from point of origin. But along the lines of where to stay and traveling from a good hotel to the factory.
haaaaaaa que bien felicitaciones, eso es lo maximo que un fan de los Gundam aspira ver!!!
So awesome to see the displays, I appreciate the sharing, I'd like to go but school and work has me busy, fun to take a peek at the history of gundams and gunpla, your trips look like a lot of fun too.
