FAQ

Is this an official store or manufacturer site?

No. SprueVia Japan is an independent information project.

Is the inventory real time?

No. Official indicators can change between checks and may differ from shelf availability. Recheck the source shortly before traveling.

What makes a store worth visiting?

A useful stop offers a meaningful advantage for your interests after considering item relevance, current signals, travel time and practical alternatives.

Does a GUNDAM BASE stock indicator guarantee a kit on the shelf?

No. An online indicator may not reflect what you can buy when you arrive, and entry or purchase conditions can change. Read how to check GUNDAM BASE stock and visit rules before making a special trip.

Which Gunpla grade should a first-time buyer choose?

Start with the build experience and tools you want, then check the exact box and product details. The beginner's grade guide explains the main choices without treating a grade as a guarantee of difficulty.

What should I inspect in a secondhand model kit?

Check that the runners, manual and any important parts are present, then ask the store about its return policy. Use the secondhand kit checklist before paying.

Should I buy in Japan or order online?

Compare the full cost, not the box price alone: shipping, fees, exchange rate and the condition of the item can change the decision. The total-cost guide walks through the comparison.

Does the site use affiliate links?

Yes. Some links to CDJapan are affiliate links. SprueVia Japan may earn a commission from a qualifying purchase at no extra cost to the reader. The relationship is disclosed before the first affiliate link on each page that contains one.
