Company details
Written by the company
Hello and welcome to Rivals Corner! First of all thank you for visiting our small hobby store. Rivals Corner was founded for a love of all things Japanese, Gundams and more importantly, a passion and nostalgia for the 90's and retro anime. We wanted the store and its logo to capture the feel of a Konbini [コンビニ] / convenience store from Japan, with bold lettering and familiar colours of a certain popular mecha ;) It’s currently run as an online only store [for now!] by me and my wife. We know there are a lot of other great stores out there and more established but our goal will be to open the first specialised hobby store for Japanese model kits in London. It may take some time, but hopefully with enough dedication, patience, some support from the community and let’s face it, da monies, we’ll be able to reach our goal and continue to serve a growing community of passionate fans and newcomers alike. For now we're primarily stocking Gunpla but we will grow our collection to other model kits and series in the future! If you'd like to request for a specific product, feel free to drop us a line and we'll see if we can find it and stock it in our store! We hope you enjoy our website and come back again to support our small business!

I'll be back!
I stumbled across the Rivals Corner website whilst looking for the best price for a specific Gundam kit. I quickly found out that their prices are easily among the best online, and their customer service is beyond outstanding. After chatting briefly with the owner, it's very clear that they are not just great and fair business owners, but massive fans with the model kit hobby too. I can't recommend them enough!

Literally couldn’t get any better
The most accommodating, attentive and amazing place i’ve ever ordered from! You can tell the owners love what they do and the passion really shows through their amazing customer service. And of course the Gundams are amazing and top quality too!
