Now that is a hobby store! It's almost overwhelming, certainly incredible! I'd go straight for the diorama supplies; I wish we had something like this here in the US. Andy's Hobby Headquarters comes close. Thanks for sharing, Pixxellie.

@@pixxellie Yes, there is a manga!!! The manga adaption is by Kia Asamiya, who also created Silent Mobius. I am an 'old school' otaku, I have been collecting Japanese animation since the late 70's, 80's, 90's, and 2000's. Along with VHS, S-VHS, video lasderdiscs, CDs, DVDs, manga, artbooks, magazines, model kits, and import videogames.

I loved going to Yellow Submarine when I was in Japan! The first one I stumbled upon was when I visited Hiroshima. I lost my composure a little when I got to the Parts Paradise, I've been seeing that online for over 15 years and finally seeing it irl was a spiritual experience

7:20 I think that box says Xenogloassia which is the alternate universe mecha spinoff of Idol Master. It is weird that a franchise like Idol Master has a mecha anime, but Japanese franchises are sometimes weird like that. Muv Luv started off as a ero romantic comedy visual novel and now it's a super serious, alien invasion, mecha anime.

I’ve watched this video several times now. I realize that my gunpla hobby is not just building, but collecting and over-obsessing about tools. I find myself spending an equal if not more time looking at modeling tools and paint. Yellow Submarine is not helping lol. Thanks for sharing another awesome video!

Yellow Submarine was a lifesaver for me back in 2019. I scored a parts runner for my HGUC The-O, as it was missing a bicep armor for some reason. I also picked up the Core Fighter parts for my RG Gundam GP01, as one of the beam saber holders snapped off and the Core Fighter is permanently in Core Block mode after I glued the holder back in place.

If you attend the All-Japan Hobby Show in September, see if you can meet the president of Yellow Submarine. I met him for the first time at the last show. We'd had a conversation in Japanese for quite a while before I discovered that he speaks English very well! Extremely nice guy. You can probably guess who his favorite band is. 😉

I usually replace them when I find my cuts are becoming a bit more difficult or not looking as clean. It really depends on how much you use them! I've never sharpened any before so not sure about that. I probably go through one pair a year.

Sadly no matter how many cool paints they have, if you don't live in Japan, you can't take them with you. You can, but you risk airport security trashing your luggage and getting everything confiscated. Valid for laquer or enamel paints. They are a fire hazard and classified the same as lighter fuel. Which to be fair are the only ones worth buying there. In Osaka, one store had a warning, cause they got so many complaints from tourists who had their paints confiscated. So it was sad to see so many colors i wanted, but couldn't get any.
