    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.

    The GP-03 Dendrobium, I remember seeing that in Toys R Us here in the US as a kid, I wanted it so bad because it was the action figure and the mobile armor too, but my mom said too expensive. One day when I go to Japan I am buying it for the little me on the inside.

    I wouldn't call this place a hidden gem. Pretty much every Gundam shopping video on UA-cam 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  4 місяці тому +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 😁

    @zerozimura3274 2 місяці тому

    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  2 місяці тому

      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

    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 stock looks amazing, soo many MG's just like what you said.
      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
      But, in Surugaya
      There are often two same items with different prices
      Usually those with damaged boxes are sold cheaper
