    But this is arguably the Best Gundam Shop in Japan (maybe in the world?). You will find many amazing stuff that you never think it's existence. If you do gundam shopping in Tokyo Japan, make sure pay a visit here!

    went here and got a few kit. What I like most is that if you look behind the counter you can see the kits that they just got and are going to put out the next day so you can come back and get it before anyone else. There is another great place down the road called Surugaya Akihabara they have more of the rare P-bandai kits that are near impossible to find.

    Between this shop and Surugaya, which one do you think has the wider range of products? I'm planning a trip to Tokyo probably next year in November to hunt for old regular release kits and some premium ones that I missed to snatch at their official Shopee page due to botters and scalpers (curse them all lol) so I'm probably gonna comb through Akihabara for a whole day or two for results.

    • @caridanbeli
      @caridanbeli  3 месяца назад

      They both have a wider range of products, But Otachu is more organized. You should come to both places, a day is enough. But the prices can give you a headache sometimes, lol. Scalpers really make many limited and premium Bandai rose high in price

    I wouldn't call this place a hidden gem. Pretty much every Gundam shopping video on RUclips covers Otachu since forever and there's a big sign outside when you're walking around the area.
    There prices are definitely more expensive than Mandarake and of course you can't beat the major retailers for discount re-release prices. They're decent for when you need a specific rare kit immediately and it's not available at a major retailer, major 2nd hand retailer, or out of rotation at the Gundam Base.
    Overall they're not my first choice when it comes to buying model kits cause you're definitely paying a moderate premium.

    • @caridanbeli
      @caridanbeli  5 месяцев назад +2

      I agree, most of products seems a bit more expensive for me. But I guess that's the excitement of hunting. Each person's experience can be different. My customers always order a lot of Gundams from there 😁

    Was just there,not particularly good prices or selection compared to many other stores in the area. Yellow Submarine, Ami Ami, and Mandarake are still better, not to mention the smaller places like Lashimbang, Surugaya, and Liberty. It only stands out because it’s Gundam specific.

    • @caridanbeli

      The difference with Otachu was they didn't sell Metal build as far as I see
      The arrangement is a bit untidy and the aisle is narrow,making hard to shop when crowded
