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!

Great quality, very safely packaged, arrived quickly and without hassle. Would absolutely shop from here again. Also got a bit of a personal touch with the purchase (hand-written thank-you card with my name) but idk how common that is, it was just nice. For reference, 1/144 RG Epyon

Thank you for the positive review :)
Great experience
Parcel came fast (ordered on the 7th and came on the 10th). The gunpla I ordered were packaged with care and the personalised handwritten note was sweet. They even took the time to include and gift wrap a little bonus with the order. Thank you so much, will order from here again.

Recommended Seller. I would buy my next kits here.
The kit arrived in a very good packaging. Bubble wrapped and everything! I would recommend getting your model kit here! Also! I like the hand written note inside with extra discount on next purchase. Well done RC team!

Good choice of products, competitive pricing. Gunpla kits can vary wildly in price (I've seen the same kit cost £13 on one site and £22 on a different site, no sales or anything involved). I'll happily buy from Rivals Corner again 🙂
