Bandai Spirits launches Gundam pop‑up in Aomori as Gundam Base opens in London

Bandai Spirits announced a limited‑time "THE GUNDAM BASE POP‑UP in AOMORI" at Aeon Mall Shimoda, running from July 30 to August 16, 2026. The event will feature a roughly two‑metre Gundam statue and exclusive model kits such as the HG 1/144 Unicorn Gundam (Destiny Mode) and MGSD Gundam Barbatos (Iron Blood coating), with limited quantities and possible entry‑control measures.

On July 3, 2026, an official Gundam Base store opened in London, the second European outlet after Germany. Operated by Bandai Namco Amusement Europe, the shop displayed around 200 Gunpla products, prompting long queues and several‑hour waits as fans lined up to purchase the kits. Store officials said the venue aims to boost Gundam’s popularity in Britain.
