I got a Woondwort kit from Mandarake!! So excited for it to arrive in Canada! Also got some Ghibli paper scene kits from Koto store 😀 Thanks for your help!
Just wanted to say thank you for the video and the spreadsheet. Been to Osaka before, but I wasn't aware of the Yamada there. Those prices are pretty amazing. I'll check it out when I go in November.
I just recently stumbled upon your channel and skimmed through your content. Keep it up bro. I especially loved the content that you did with Oliver. I hope you guys keep up your friendship. I totally know how it feels to meet an internet friend for the first time in real life and realizing that somehow it feels like you've known that person forever. So yeah, looking forward to more videos, thumbsup!
Fantastic and informative video!! I enjoyed your dry humour but your ability to quote from Aqua's 'Barbie Girl' was a bit creepy. If ever I am in Osaka this will be my official guide to Gunpla stores! Thanks for posting!
Tobyn Manthorpe ah I see. Yeah I’ll probably be back in Tokyo or maybe Sapporo at the end of the month. Heh I’ve got back logs of video I haven’t edited from the summer and the fall... maybe I’ll get around to it ;)
BennyBiohazard hah I went the total opposite of ya. January this year for when this video was filmed. And again just a few weeks ago in August back to Tokyo. And probably again in November haha 😂
@@AlexdadoofStudios Yeah man i try to head over there once a year at least. I also think smaller youtube channels like this are better for studying up on what to do when im over there since bigger channels are normally getting special treatment to advertise where ever they are at.
BennyBiohazard i haven’t seen many channels with guides and such. Which prompted me to make this guide with price comparison chart to have that information available to ppl looking to plan their next trip haha. Even updated my Tokyo guide prices from January to August heh. But thanks for the love man! :)
Awesome video alex. Loved it. Sorry I've been afk from discord lately life has me pretty caught up right now. I'll be more active soon miss the community. Hope all is well sir!
Any place that has duty free advertised, as long as you spend more than 5000jpy(~50usd) with your passport you’ll pay the price on the price tag without an additional 8% slapped on for sales tax. I think all the places on this list offer duty free.
Visited Lab1 today. Unfortunately it looks like they have shrunk their gunpla section. :( not what is shown here. It's now just a row and that's it. Gutted
Hi sir, do you know shops that has a good selection of HMM kotobukiya kits and Gundam converge in Denden town? I will be there in a few days and i hope you could help me. Thank you!
win magdaong well kotobukiya should have the koto kits you’re looking for. Gundam converge, they’ll have at most of the shops, but I’d say they’ll have the converge figures you’re looking for at Mandarake
@@AlexdadoofStudios is there other shops for HMM kits? since you mentioned that the price in that store is not competitive. Thank you for helping sir! :)
win magdaong not a lot of shops carry them. I recommend you check Jungle/YellowSubmarine/Mandarake then. There are two Mandarake locations in Osaka: Umeda and Grand Chaos
dũng nguyễn well I was just there last month :) and i definitely saw some. ;) Just look around! If you really can’t find em, then maybe Divercity Gundam bass in Tokyo. But it’s gonna be expensive
I'm going to watch every video you make. You are such a big help in planing my trip to Japan next year . Thanks Alex
good table of price comparison - well done! good reference for others , keep doing this and extend the list as you could
you really stepped up your game with this video! awesome vid, cant wait for the next one

Thanks so much for the vid, Alex, I'm headed to Osaka later this week, very excited!!!! This helps a ton!!!

Yup. Yamada Denki is awesome like that heh

Hahaha
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the love brother!
Very good video, thank you!
Tobyn Manthorpe you’re welcome! Are you planning on a trip to Japan soon too?
I went to Osaka in Oct 2018. I went to a lot of these stores, but you found some others. I really want to go back!
Tobyn Manthorpe ah I see.
Yeah I’ll probably be back in Tokyo or maybe Sapporo at the end of the month. Heh
I’ve got back logs of video I haven’t edited from the summer and the fall... maybe I’ll get around to it ;)
I’ll check your other vids out. You’re a good videographer!
Tobyn Manthorpe lol I’m terrible but still learning haha thanks for the love man
I know how you feel when you are expecting gunpla but after searching there is none
7:43 And even TENGA.
Thanks for the video! Ill be in Osaka next august!
BennyBiohazard that’s a long ways away. Be prepared to sweat. Cuz Osaka is brutal in the summer. Daily temps of over 98F @85+% humidity.
:)
@@AlexdadoofStudios I've heard but it will be worth it. I managed to catch the cherry blossoms this year in Tokyo
BennyBiohazard hah I went the total opposite of ya. January this year for when this video was filmed. And again just a few weeks ago in August back to Tokyo. And probably again in November haha 😂

it happens man. no worries!
And meanwhile my hobby lobby only has 1 or 2 gunplas :(
Hope one day will go there 🤗
You will one day! 👍
@@AlexdadoofStudios thank you!
Many ganpura also in Osaka (^^)
I really like Osaka... I think I like it more than Tokyo. It's a bit more chilll
i agree... it's got a bit of a lax unrefined side to it
Thank you so much!!! My complete loss of life savings and divorce will start here
Is it cheaper than mandarake?
So you just bring your visa passport with your purchase and you get a discount(at the places you noted)?
Any place that has duty free advertised, as long as you spend more than 5000jpy(~50usd) with your passport you’ll pay the price on the price tag without an additional 8% slapped on for sales tax.
I think all the places on this list offer duty free.
do you remember seeing any age 1 mg kits?
Ian Adam Lee can’t say I remember. I mean stock is always changing - also dependent on when the print kits too. =\
ur vid is very good, i would recommend upgrading your camera
zin360 great! Why don’t you upload some of your own content and show me what it should look like ^_^ i’d love to see your work! :)
you're doing god's anon
Char Aznable 👍 haha thanks

Eman Yu that’s really sad to hear ;(

Yamada Denki

@@AlexdadoofStudios Thanks!
WAHAHAHAHA love the wife material part.
hi sir, i have a trip to japan on April, and i am looking for metal build gundam, any suggest pls? thank sir
Try Yamada Denki, Bic Camera, Yodobashi, or Joshin Super kids land
@@AlexdadoofStudios thank sir
dũng nguyễn but where in japan are you going? Tokyo? Or Osaka?
@@AlexdadoofStudios i will go osaka and tokyo too sir, :D last time i went to japan, i never seen metal build in bic and yodobashi :D

If you really can’t find em, then maybe Divercity Gundam bass in Tokyo. But it’s gonna be expensive
