This is personally my favorite place to get some Gunpla, especially new releases. Both pictures here are gunpla I purchased, and the MS-06C Type C-5(the green one) is my own custom variant. I gotta thank these guys for the material. I would strongly recommend this...Read More

Found this shop while traveling. Super friendly service. Great selection of Gunpla and other figures, even some you can't typically find on shelves anymore. It seems a little chaotic with how everything is everywhere, but after browsing it made more sense and felt like a...Read More

Great selection for the gunpla fans. The prices are very competitive too. Yes, basically a warehouse with shelves of gundam models. The staff hangs out and build and play games. Very friendly atmosphere.

A fantastic store with great prices and a super helpful and friendly owner. Master grades are always about 10% off compared to other stores and selection has been plentiful as of late. Cannot recommend enough.

Best selection and really great pricing. Just pace yourself and you'll be just fine. Tatsu also has a good selection of anime figarts and a huge selection of Gundam perfect grade kits too.

With so few stores offering Gunpla in the model building scene, support your local store whenever you can. Fair prices and lots to choose from, worth stopping by if you get the chance.

Lots of selection, friendly people, I believe this is the number 1 place to buy gunpla in Bay Area. Prompt price. Btw they also sell tools for making gunpla. If you build it you HAVE TO COME HERE!

A one stop shop for all things model kits, mecha, and more! The owner is really friendly and the selection makes you want to shell out hundreds in a single visit. Be warned!
