I went recently and dont forget when exiting the factory on the left there will be gatchapons that are limited only to gundam FUKUOKA and Gundam base YOKOHAMA. theres gatchapon premium gatcha for the nu gundam ff and nu gundam ff head piece
My tip would be go around 2pm to catch the noon show, followed by the dock viewing at 3pm. Visit the gundam base, factory lab and cafe till 5pm. You will get to see the sunset on the gundam, and the light show at 6pm.
I missed the light show 😭
@@AwesomeToysTV oh man... The light show feel different from the morning one.
Mistake #1:
Dont try to hijack the Gundam...
This is gonna be my mistake next week
When I went there for my 20th Birthday in October of this year, I was hoping that the store would have the Chocgokin exclusive rx-78f00, yet they did not have any at all...
I went yolo during my last visit (april this year) and bought the 1/48 rx78f00! that thing is huge and barely fits in my luggage, but that was satisfying. I also bought the HG rx78f00 high mobility, at 01:55 I bought that one as keychain, and in fukuoka I bought the RG & SD nu ff (I was too fast by one day to buy the RG sazabi ff). I bought in total 21 kits in total during my visit, I need to ask my wife to carry half of it lol (I cut most of the kits into pieces and put it in zipper bag and label it per runner)
Please buy your wife something nice
Biggest mistake I made when visiting this year was assuming they would have stock of all the exclusive kits being offered. They didn't have the 1/48 Gundam, just the 1/48 Head. Ended up buying the full kit for a premium on eBay after my trip.
Great tips guys! Luckily I saw your video beforehand. Ill be visiting Gundam Yokohama next month January 2024
Aww yee, another bucket list item i will never get to cross off
Hopefully bandai extends it
@@AwesomeToysTVI hope they will. It was supposed to close earlier but they extended it. My last Gundam pilgrimage was in 2017, it's time for another one
Again like others comments... try to visit the gundam shows at sunset or after dark, because of the impressive light show effects...amazing!
The two mistakes I made where not buying the dock ticket in advance and not getting any gatchapons at the station, everything else I did right according to your video. I'm going to Japan again next month but I don't think I'll be going to Yokohama this time, so I'm glad I saw the moving gundam while it was still there, although considering the investment they made on it, they'll probably just relocate it somewhere else
Nah, I highly doubt it. If they’re going to dismantle it, then it’s highly unlikely that it’ll be relocated someplace else.
I went back during April and I knew that the tickets were selling out very fast for access to the Dock.
When I went, there were many many items that were sold out. I already hadthe bust but the only Factory exclusive kit I could really get was the HG F00 HMT. This was during the height of the Gunpla shortage in Japan.
I considered getting a later access ticket so that I could see the Gundam during the day and at dusk/night for that golden hour lighting.
I don't feel too bad about the Gashapon as many of the secondhand and hobby stores will have those as sets.
thanks for the enlightening video. good effort only managing to catch that few glimpses of the gunpla inside the store. and that last bonus tip - man...do i have to...but i can fully understand it. will most probably take many picture and videos of it before taking it out of the box and flattening it.
the gundam dock is standing on the ground infront of the moving gundam right? not going up and close to it right? cause i'm not planning to go up & close to it. also even if i not manage to get the gundam dock (assuming it's the one on the floor), i can still view it from a distance right?
Dock has a much better upclose view mate. Also, time is running out !
@@AwesomeToysTV i'm going there early March. anyway, saw another video. 1650 Yen can sit/stand infront of the Gundam. the 3300 Yen is going up the Tower, which i don't intend do. Cheers.
The gundam dock ticket always sold out but if you come during weekdays it has available ticket
I went on weekday 😂
@@AwesomeToysTV oh did you come early? If you come early there's some available ticket
I want those rx78 F00 high mobility I wish I could get them in the USA.
Review coming up
Thanks for the video
Our pleasure!
Regret big time for not getting the mega size as well 😞, probably have to get it through other marketplace now.
Right !!!???
So basically. The rule is be corteous and dont be a niusance to others. Easy enough.
Easier said than done unfortunately
Wait so you can’t buy multiple kits of the same kit but can you buy more than one kit if they’re all different? I’m leaving to Japan tmrw so please let me know!
Is that 1 item per day or 1 transaction per day?
1 transaction per day.
That’s only applied in gunpla and toy products but if you want to buy other products it’s ok to comeback but you can ask the staff if you are not sure
Really hope they don’t shut down in march !
Don't think they gonna extend
@@AwesomeToysTV hey, thanks ! Any idea where we can see it in May 2024 ? Like will it be on display somewhere else ?
Will the gundam still be open to view in April2024?
Unless Bandai announces another extension, it's a NO
If dock tickets are sold out can I still see the Gundam show or do I have to have a dock ticket to see it?
You can see the show without the dock ticket.
@@AwesomeToysTV Thanks for letting me know! I’m going next week and everything for the dock tickets are sold out until the last day they are selling tickets.
When is the best time to purchase the DOCK Ticket?
1 week before
tutup dah kilang Yokohama
Bought RX78F00 HMT for $30 CAD in Canada from a seller, how much do they go for in Japan?
About 2500 yen
