Gundam From Japan, Oldsmar FL

Always a great selection of gunpla & great banter as well. Looking forward to checking out the new location

My son got me into gunpla recently and we stopped in here at his recommendation. The store is very well stocked, the people were very friendly and helpful. There is a laid back comfortable vibe in the whole place. People were building gunpla, gaming, and just hanging out. This is a great place! I will be back.

Always feel welcome great service good atmosphere I will recommend this place and always looking forward to raffle day

If you are a gunpla fan, DO NOT GO HERE. I repeat stay away.you'll go broke within seconds, it's heavenly.

So first off, the gentleman behind the counter (I believe it was the owner) is absolutely amazing. High energy, super friendly, instantly stopped and gave us a tour absolutely love the shop simply because of him immediately.

They have a literal ton of kits, many many limited built kits on display, monthly raffles, super welcoming feel. The kits are all grouped by grade, mostly. Tons of PG kits 11 different kits, probably 100 or so different MG kits, RG and HG have tons as well. They cater to some board games, some table top, and other kits as well.

They have tables for building, paints, stand kits, I honestly don't think I seen the entire store properly in the 30-40 minutes we were there.

Don't come here hungry! They have a little snack room full of tons and tons of delicious Japanese sugar treats that will tempt you until you break and start eating them all.

Honestly, I think my only complaint is I didn't come in before the bandai price hikes. But they did have a MG psycho Zaku that came home with me, and quite a few WoM kits for my wife.

Ill definitely be going back. And forget what I said, break out the CC and go run wild. Stores like this deserve every penny for their massive catering to our gunpla passions.

Have fun

Great place, with a calm environment, and good prices, great for building kits in the store, and they sell snacks and drinks at the front counter

Decent collection of custom works and kits on display and a whole of lot kits to choose from. But honestly, I feel sorry for people who have no other alternatives to buy kits at decent price. Most of the kits range from $10-50 upcharge in market value and noticeable price hike on “rarely” seen kits or high sought out kits. I know that certain hobby shop distributors ask for a minimum number bulk orders on certain kits/items to be sold at certain price and the customer ends up with soaking up the upcharge cause of this practice.

When compared to online retailers where sometimes they charge you $5-10 per shipping costs you end up paying less at checkout (if you live in the US). Unfortunately, I mentioned to this employees and some just nodded back in agreement.

I did buy a newer kit which I thought the being a recently released novelty was worth the $5 upcharge for an EG.

Wished I could’ve met the owner and talk more about kits but another time.

Came for the Gundam, was pleasantly surprised by an expansive one piece collection as well! Definitely a staple place for any fan!

Very friend and answers questions very kindly, very helpful and to the point.the place is very clean and cool. I felt like I was in Disney world amazing place.

Extremely awesome shop with a lot of models, ranging from The Origin to WFM. Great selection of Master Grades if that's your taste, and plenty of High Grades from various series. Very cozy shop with a small build area, some snacks, and some really cool dioramas to see (including an awesome The Origin Iron Cav scene and a smaller 08th Gouf Custom). Owner was very knowledgeable and we chatted about WFM a bit. If you are in the area and want some models, this is the place.

Thanks Musashi, we really enjoyed visiting your shop yesterday!

This store has an AMAZING selection of Gundam, Warhammer, anime toys, kits, and everything down to delicious snacks, ramen and treats for nerd culture!

Will be back again

Had a great first visit! The owner took their time out to welcome and chat with me all while taking care of stock. There’s plenty of gunpla and models to choose from, and the displays looked great. The prices were comparable to what you could find online, but the convenience and atmosphere can’t be beat. Will definitely be making this my local stop for all things Gundam.

Basement dwellers unite! The normies have come to make out secret obsessions mainstream! They have made public knowledge in our prized toys affordable and accessible. Even the super unique fancy candies that you had to sneak in from Japan to try to impress girls are on the shelf ready to purchase without an intervening customs officer. Hey single moms. Don't want your kids doing drugs? Bring them here don't let them get addicted to robots and jelly candies instead. I was too busy daydreaming of giant robots to get involved with the devil's lettuce.

The owner was great to talk to. He was insanely knowledgable and even talked with my uncle who knew nothing about gunpla.

Amazing the owner is super knowledgeable and hella interesting person. The selection is great and the displays are beautiful, you can really see all these kits in their whole glory. I'll definitely be back soon and the drawings for the sweet kits are nothing to scoff at at all.

I didn't have as much time as I would've liked to look around, but the store seems great. The owner was really nice and people were hanging out talking about Gundam and other stuff, the prices for kits is also really really reasonable. If you want a kit I'd recommend checking here first before you go on to eBay or Amazon or other online shops.

Definitely will be back when I've got more time to look around!

This store is my hidden secret gem for Gundams and any other models like Zoids. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Best Gundam shopping experience I’ve ever had, Great prices, Best selection I’ve ever seen, well maintained and clean, and Amazing service. We were constantly being checked on by staff with a smile asking how we were and if we needed help with anything, especially the saleswoman because she was extremely helpful! (And also absolutely beautiful but I chickened out of telling her that because her dad was there I think.) But all around a 10/10 store and I would recommend to anybody nearby to check it out, it’s definitely worth a drive!

I went with a friend for the first time. The store was filled with a variety of Japanese anime models, statues, and gunpla models and the tools and accessories that you need to build them with. In addition, they had a sample of Japanese drinks, Ramen, and snacks too.

Called to check availability on supplies and hours of operation. I was told they would be open until 7pm, drive over 30 minutes to get there, doors locked at 4: 25pm. Wasted my time.
