Great albeit small selection of kits. Would highly recommend checking it out! Also a great place to build the kits you buy from there. You have all the tools needed as well as the shopkeep John is ready to help you out. read more

In California you can't really find a good store that sells gundam's but then I heard of this place from a friend and there wide selection of gundam's was incredible they have everything you can think of from Gundam's to painting they have everything. Pros - Have everything you can think of Website was super easy to look through Super quick on getting your order ready Very nice customer service Local business Cons There aren't none read more

Had a problem with an order that I never received and still have not received help with this nd its been 4 months now this is terrible

If I could give zero stars I would. This place has the worst customer service. I will never shop here again.

Shop with them online, but the staff always helpful. Good customer service and communication

Me and my boyfriend came here for just the paint and supplies. Bella, the owner, gave us great pointers on how to use the paint. She was very kind! The items were fairly priced. I especially like the couch and tv for me to relax as I wait for my BF to pick out his stuff. The cool thing is that this place has areas for you to put together your gundam and use their tools free of charge! We've been there three times already and we've been very happy with the service. :) read more

I was impressed with the size of the facility, but wasn't with the variety of models.

Came here to start my next chapter in life. Wanted to build Gundam models as a hobby. This place has it all to start and they are eager to assist us and help grow your interest in building Gundam models. They had a huge selection and only to grow bigger because they moved to a larger warehouse from their previous location. I picked a few models to start and the value was very reasonable. They had all the tools and supplies you can ask for to build a professional looking model. I came in early in on the move, so I haven't seen all the amenities they have to offer. Even though I haven't seen it all, I definitely plan to go back each step of the way to build out my workshop. read more

Very Nice store has a very nice Display showing different Gundams. Has a large selection and also have tables for you to work on your model. read more

A hidden gem amongst gundam fans, a true workshop. They have a wide variety of tools, paints, etc. They have building/painting classes and to top it off, a spray booth. Check them out for weekend sales. read more

Now that we're sheltered in place, I've been able to finish my gunpla models much faster than usual, so I needed to stock up on my supply of gunpla. Found their place on yelp, ordered 2 kits on Thursday night. Got an email from them Friday morning saying that due to the COVID situation, orders will be shipped out 3-5 days after being placed. Totally understand considering the circumstances. Then suddenly, I get an email on the same day saying that the kits have been shipped out, and just received them today! And I didn't even pay for express shipping! Excellent service! I can't wait to visit their warehouse after shelter in place is over. read more

I barely got into Gundam until we went to Japan. We were at Amniamni in and was going through the aisles of gunpla with my husband. I did not really understand or have any interest in the mobile suits until I saw Beargguy. This cute brown bear was calling my name to bring him home. Thousands of miles and months later I'm along side my husband building and airbrushing different models. I've gone to about 4-5 different hobby shops that specialize in Gunpla/Gundam and this place takes the cake. Bella and John and super knowledgeable about their trait and very friendly and open to any questions you have about building your own model kit. There are a few spaces in the shop where you can sit down and build. There are also a couple airbrush machines which you can use at no cost except for your own paint and cleaning agent. I love going here. It's probably the place I am the most other than home and work. They also have a good selection of kits and always have something new coming. Each weekend they have a sale that offers a select number of pieces of a particular kit for a reduced price. The marked prices already include tax so that helps when you're calculating how much damage to the wallet you're going to make. read more

Just had an online order filled through them, shipped and arrived almost instantly. I cancelled part of it because they were having an issue with their distributor and they were kind and courteous and very quick with the refund. Definitely going to shop again read more

I went here with my son and his friend today for the first time. Not their first time but definitely mine. Being a parent of a Gundam fanatic teenager I have learned a bit about the hobby. This place is tiny but packs a big punch. I'm am absolutely impressed by the people that run this place. The engagement and interactions they have with my son and his friend are top notch and very appreciated. They are helpful and friendly and do their best to foster love and creativity of the craft. They don't treat the kids like "lookie-looks" or pay less attention to them because they are kids. They treat them like equals and artists and at times serve as mentors to inspire the youth. The boys often stay for hours. They have work stations and are very hands on. Thank you Gundam Labs. read more

Best hobby store I ever went for gunpla stuff. I most certainly will be coming here more often for my next gunpla project.

This place is an East Bay Area gem! Very grateful to have such a cool store so local and accessible. This store is located in a quiet business district along Hwy 92, but don't let that fool you from what it has to offer. They have a small warehouse with a wide selection of Gunpla model kits. Inventory rotates every few weeks as new shipments come in. There is a small lounge area with a couch if you want to hang out with Gundam series are always playing on the TV. Next to that are few tables/building stations to use if you don't have sufficient space to work on your kits at home. In a separate room, they have 2 air brush paint stations with ventilation set up. You will also find provided supplies available for use, so no need to bring your own. A photo lighting box is placed in the same room so you can snap a few pics to share your work. One side of the lounge wall is filled with paint supplies, tools and aftermarket accessories (such as decal sheets). The other side is consumed by a glass cabinet showcasing an array of completed work so you can get a representation of product scale. These are all built in-house. Bella and John are extremely welcoming and courteous. They answered all the questions I had and not once did I ever feel rushed or pressured. I'm expecting even more improvements as time goes by. I love visiting this place and it's definitely a local business worth supporting! They have sales each weekend, so follow their Facebook page for those updates! read more

See all

First time coming in they welcomed me and my friends with a huge smile. Their collection of built gundams was a sight to behold and the selection they have in the back was awesome. From old school master grades from universal centuries to the latest premium bandai kits. And when i wanted to get into customizing my gundams they were more than happy to help. read more

Great customer service! Limited stock but they said more inventory will be arriving soon. Can't wait to see what they are getting.

Since we just got back from Japan and saw the 1:1 Unicorn while we were there, I personally got my gunpla itch back. While looking for a hobby store, I found out that there's a new shop that opened up in our city. My son and I stopped by the store last week and we had a blast. I will echo all of the review in stating that the owners are great. They are VERY welcoming, friendly and put 0 pressure on you. They will provide you with product information and will basically let you browse their store without any concerns/issues. We ended up purchasing a couple of kits. Once we're done with them, we'll be back and buy some more kits. It's great to be able to support a legit local business. Thank you Gundam Labs Hobby for being here! read more

I've just recently gotten into building model Gundam and been to many stores up and down the Bay Area searching for a good hobby shop to get Gundam and ended up walking into shops that were messy, had poor selections, or had condescending/judgmental staff that made me want to drop the hobby altogether. However, I decided to drop into the store today because I heard good things about it and I can gladly say that this is the best Gundam store in the whole Bay Area. Everything was clean and well organized so finding what I wanted was a breeze. They had a big selection of model kits to choose from and the owners were extremely polite and helpful and more than willing to answer any questions or concerns I had. Whether you're a Gundam newbie or a long time builder, I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a shop that specializes in model Gundams. I will for sure be coming back in the future! read more

I'm so happy a dedicated Gundam Hobby shop opened in the area! The interior is clean and tidy and prices are marked. The prices compete with Tatsu Hobby in San Jose; for example bear guys are $8 here and $10 over there. Customer service is excellent and friendly. Kit and modeling accessories are nice and full. They say they'll be getting more stock soon as well. I highly recommend this place as it is now my go to hobby shop. read more

I love this spot.. great for any gunpla head . I highly recommend checking it out. The best

Great place to buy gunpla. Visited multiple times already, at first their selection was somewhat small but recently their inventory is expanding! The employees their are very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend checking it out. There is also a room where you can build gunpla that you bought (just make sure you bring some of your own paint) and a place to relax and watch Gundam. read more

The people there were super nice, they helped me find exactly what I was looking for and the pricing was very good for everything, especially a lot of the p-bandai kits. They have an area for building your kits, and a whole separate room to airbrush in too. Theres a wall dedicated to displaying custom kits so you can get some inspiration. They even threw in a free pair of nippers for my first purchase there! I will definitely be returning and I would recommend it it to any gunpla fans in the Hayward area! read more

My new favorite place! Definitely gonna go again! Never knew about that place since I looked up new places for gunpla, prices are reasonable, it's affordable & the staff are really kind! The models on display look absolutely amazing. The Gundam on the door looks awesome & when you walk in the store you see everything & it's filled with gundams. I asked how long the store has been open & they told me a little more than a month! For a new store it's really awesome. read more

Awesome little shop in Hayward. Didn't really have a gundam specific store around here so it's pretty cool to see one pop up. I went and bought a 1/100 gundam epyon kit for 57$ tax already included in the price so that was sweet as well. 10/10 will def go back read more

Nice people and organized store. Prices are very reasonable, except the markers. This is my new go to place to buy Gundams in California.

I haven't physically been there, because of well you know. I do order online from them, and they are AWSOME, fast turn around, and delivery. If you looking for something, chances are they have it, or can get it. read more

So 6 months later, stock has drastically improved and staff is always welcoming and willing to engage with you if you have questions. Always a joy to go to the store. They always have new stock when I drop by or when they post on their Facebook page. read more

This is a great one-stop shop for everything Gunpla! Besides selling kits, paints, decals, accessories, and tools, they even have tables and tools (including airbrush stations!) that you can use to work on your Gunpla. The store is bright and well-organized, and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. You can also check out their showcase of completed models for ideas, or catch up on an episode of whatever Gundam series they happen to be playing. read more

This is hands down one of the best gundam hobby stores. All the Gundams I have displayed come from gundam labs hobby. They have a very fine selection of models. They have high grade all the way to perfect grade. They even have tools, decals, stickers, and there are gundams on display. One of the best things is that you could even build your gundam there! So to conclude, you should definitely go to gundam labs hobby if you like to build gundams for fun or professionally. read more

I was pleasantly overwhelmed by their selection, which apparently wasn't even their full stock. Bought my first Gundam in probably 10 years and will be back for more! Passionate and helpful owners. Highly recommend picking up something here! read more

My all time go-to gunpla Place. This is gundam (and other model kits) heaven! They practically have all the tools you need to build and customize, from paints to tools. Service is always top tier, all the workers are extremely friendly and supportive. I've learned so much from the NewType crew, and if I have any gunpla related questions, they have the answers. Thank you, NewType!! read more

A pretty neat store if you're into gunpla. A chill place to also build the kit you just bought from them and they also have a paint area to use. Owner is cool and is willing to answer any questions you have about the products he has. read more

Have to come back. They have good selection and stuff I would not even imagine finding in America. The people were helpful and they had spare parts that you can donate or trade. The place was wickedly decked out with their products.Their prices and selection is awesome. They only carry Bandai, no kotobukiya at least not yet. read more

They guy and girl that run this place are very nice and respectfull, great place to get gundams

This store has an amazing selection of gunpla and even some supply to customize your gunpla. There is also a really nice display of kits built that will help you decide what kit to buy. The prices on the box include tax and are very reasonable and the staff is very nice. Very happy this place opened up. read more

Awesome place and selection on gundam items are vast with great prices. They have friendly service and recommend this place to anyone looking to start gunpla read more

Great supply of Gundam model kits, amazing customer service, very neat place, amazing job at displaying the model kits.

Been looking for a place that sells Gunpla. The people there are very friendly and helpful especially if you are a beginner or wanting to learn some techniques to better your models. The only down side for ME is that I have to drive close to an hour to get there. I don't mind the drive since i know they'll have what I want and all worth it :) I would highly recommend this place for all my friends that are into Gunpla :) read more
