We had a day out from Lincoln to visit this store and it didn't disappoint. I promised my son after he'd finished his GCSE's that we would have a trip out to stock up (for Christmas! We listen and we... See more

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!

Excellent Service and Quick Delivery
Always have a fantastic experience with Rival's Corner. Delivery is always prompt and never had so much as a scratch on the packaging. The little handwritten notes are always lovely and the community events really elevate Rivals into being more than just another online gunpla retailer.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT customer service and products! 100%
The team clearly made everyone aware on the their site that they were away currently and so orders would be fulfilled when they returned. As compensation they provided a 10% discount to all orders placed. when I placed my order they personally emailed me just to double check that I was aware. My order was processed extremely quickly when they returned to work, packed amazingly, kits were a great price. A personal hand written note in the box saying thanks for being patient was inside. Will definitely use again.

I had the pleasure of meeting the team at a convention last year and they were super friendly and helpful. I then bought a couple of kits in the new year. They were delivered wonderfully quick, and with an adorable thank you note along with them. Great team, and very welcoming to a new person to the hobby!

Closed for a month
I placed my order, then saw they would be closed in a few days, I was worried my order would not be fulfilled, but, thanks it was. I wanted to order so many other items, but seeing they would be closed for a month left me feeling dejected. I have shopped around since, if they had nit been closed I would have definitely used them for more.

Reply from Rivals Corner
Hi Andi, thank you for leaving us a review!
We're a very small, 2 person family run business and operate 7 days a week since store opening. In this case, one of us is from Australia and we have both taken a much needed rest to visit family half way across the world. We are all human after all and need a break sometimes!
This is why we are offering 10% off storewide using code RC10, as a thank you for your patience during this time until we're back and ready to fulfil customer orders.
If you ever feel the need to reach out directly, feel free to send us an email directly or message us on socials 🙂
All the Best,
Dennis @RC

Best Gunpla Store
There is absolutely no better store to buy Gunpla than Rivals Corner. I absolutely recommend it for the beautiful notes they leave you and the kindness of the staff. Plus, if they don't have a kit they will do all they can to deliver it one day or another. Will recommend it to all my hobby friends.
