Vancouver Gundam Base Pop Up
I wore my Wing Zero jacket from HUF to the pop up at Metrotown! I wasn't in the country when it originally opened, but I'm so glad I finally had time to check it out.
Visiting the Gundam Base Pop-Up in Metrotown was a unique experience that brought me closer to my love for the Gundam universe. The pop-up showcased a variety of models and exclusive collectibles that aren’t typically available in local stores, making it a treasure trove for both collectors and newcomers alike. If you're planning a visit, I recommend checking the store hours and any upcoming special events to maximize your experience. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly, happy to share insights on the different Gundam series, including the popular Wing Zero featured on my jacket. This connection to the base’s merchandise and displays enhanced the visit substantially. Don’t miss out on the rich history behind the Gundam brand, reflected in the displays and branding inspired by BANDAI’s production house, BASCSOTSU SUNRIS (as visible in the event’s artistic visuals). For those who cherish the blend of sci-fi and model craftsmanship, the pop-up offers a great blend of nostalgia and modern fandom. In sum, whether you’re a diehard fan or just curious about Gundam, the Vancouver pop-up at Metrotown offers an immersive and enjoyable experience. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow fans and discover more about Gundam’s impact on global pop culture.
