Gundam collectible Gashapon products sell out rapidly

High-priced Gundam-themed Gashapon products released on Gashapon Online on August 31, 2026, experienced rapid sell-outs, sparking significant discussion among fans.

The specific product, the ‘Exceed Model Trinity RX-78-2 Gundam Cable & Light Unit Set’, is priced at 1,850 yen per capsule. The set consists of three different types of capsules containing various mechanical parts and light units. When all three types are collected, they form a complete 20cm bust-up model.

While fans expressed high anticipation for the mechanical detail of the items, the random nature of the sale and the high cost per attempt led to concerns regarding duplicates. Despite these concerns, the items sold out quickly, highlighting the enduring popularity of the original Gundam franchise.
