Gundam Base Tokyo Will Open Summer 2017

With the news of the life-size statue of RX-0 Unicorn Gundam coming to Japan this Fall, at the same time, Bandai has announced that they will be closing down the Gundam Front Tokyo. In exchange for this, they will be opening the very first Gundam Base facility in the 7th floor of the Diver City Tokyo this coming Summer 2017.

The Gundam Base Tokyo will be a 2,000 square meter complex that will focus on selling 2,000 varieties of GunPla since it's first release from way back in 1980 to the present.

Gundam Base Tokyo will be a free admission area. Opening hours will be 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. IT will be operated by Bandai Hobby Division, Co., Ltd.

The Gundam-themed apparel store Strict-G, that is also in the 5th floor of Diver City Tokyo, will be renovated and still remain there even after the Gundam Front Tokyo closes. It will reopen again as the new Gundam Base facility opens.
