Gundam Base, Yongsan (New Location)

It's been a long time since my last post! But, that's how life goes sometimes. Anyway, even if I haven't been uploading photos I've still been taking them, so now that I'm back I have plenty to share. First up: There's been a big change to the Gundam Base at Yongsan's I'Park Mall, and I'd be remiss as a blogger of Gunpla in Korea if I didn't update you all. For whatever reason, the Gundam Base was moved from the mall's 7th floor down to the 4th, the same level as the metro station lobby. So although the new location is a smidge smaller than the old store, having a Gundam Base greet you the moment you exit the station is pretty great. Also relocated were the Tamiya store, the Style X kiosk, the model trains booth, the toy store... Basically anything toy and hobby related is now on the 4th floor! As a result I've updated my master list of Gunpla stores in Korea to reflect all of the changes.

All of the photos in this post were taken last Halloween. They're a few months old now, but I don't think there's much reason to worry. It's not like the Gundam Base could have moved again since then!
