After launching in countries like Japan, South Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan, and Thailand, Bandai Namco Asia is finally bringing the highly anticipated Gundam Base experience to Hong Kong. Set to unveil on December 20 at The Twins in Kai Tak, the flagship store will span nearly 4,500 sq ft and offer exclusive collectables and merchandise. Additionally, there’ll be themed exhibitions, a dedicated space to hold model-building sessions, and a jaw-dropping eight-metre-tall God Gundam bust as the store’s centrepiece, built to a 1:2 scale and towering over shoppers.
Aside from featuring over 100 models and collectables, Hong Kong’s location will also present exclusive items. Namely, three limited-edition models from The Gundam Base’s pop-up world tour – the RG 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.2.0, the MG 1/100 Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka, and the MG 1/100 Gundam Astray Red Frame – will be available for passionate collectors to purchase, so you’d better hurry if you want to get your hands on one.
During The Gundam Base’s opening phase, shoppers will need to sign up on The Twins Reward’s mobile app for pre-registration ballots on a first-come, first-served basis to visit the flagship store. Customers can only reserve a slot per day, which is valid for one hour. To ensure your chance to get into the flagship store, download The Twins’ mobile app ahead of time and visit The Gundam Base Hong Kong’s Facebook page for more details.
