On my way to London to cover the opening. Massive signal fault down the line but I've hopefully left early enough to make it on time regardless for 2pm.

Soon to bed but rough thoughts

Firstly, the guys at Bandai UK overseeing this are genuinely passionate and want Gundam to succeed here. I've met insincere reps for other things, this isn't that.

The store is basically a rectangular room with a pair of stable doors. Shelves run around the room, atop which are cases displaying builds of both the available merch and general Gunpla history. The oldest being the lineup of HGs of every starring Gundam. In the centre is a giant Gundam Base colours RX-78-2. On the right sits the other merch (Action Bases, stationery and Gundam Card Game), plus the tills which have a screen behind them looping Gundam PVs.

Most of the stock currently is Gundam Base recolours but they were very keen to stress the stock will be changing regularly. No promises on what they can get but it's a boon they got the OK to run the store for 7 months, far longer than seemingly any other country. They're putting their heads on the block here and it's up to us fans to reward that effort.

Rumour has it they will (finally) reprint the 1/100 MG Turn X. Do you know if there's any truth to that?

There was a voting poll to decide which Master Grade kit will be reprinted. The MG Turn X is among them plus Deep Striker, Gundam Double X.

I also read somewhere that the allocation of those reprinted kits will be via lottery for Deep Striker and Perfect Zeong iirc. Can't be sure for the MG Turn X

Thank you for the information. I sincerely hope this will get a wide release if it's reprinted. It has been out of production for so long and goes for crazy money on the secondary market. I wouldn't put it past them though, it seems like everything is a "P-Bandai exclusive" these days. ☹️
