It appears as if my local Barnes and Noble has almost no Gunpla in stock. I cannot tell whether this is because they are giving up on them, or whether they are simply in short supply due to the pandemic. I am hoping it is the latter - even though it may not be my go-to place for kits, it is always nice to pop in and see what they have for sale.
As of this writing, the store had only one actual Gundam model kit, as well as a handful of figurines. I thought I might as well get the kit before someone else did, and so that’s exactly what I did. Behold the Haropla Zakrello!!
