Went to the biggest hobby shop in Korea on Mon. located in Shindorim Techno Mart, Guro-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. https://www.joyhobby.co.kr/mall/main.asp?siteid=joyhobby&
The place occupies about 1/2 of a floor: guessing around 12,000 sq. ft or 1,000 sq. m. About 1/5 of that was dedicated to armor models. Unfortunately, didn’t take photos inside but it was amazing to see stacks and stacks of plastic kits as well as DEF model and Legend Prod. boxes.
Picked up these at amazing prices due to the strong exchange rate. Didn’t have enough space in the luggage to buy more…
RFM Leo A6 was 52 USD.
Academy K2 was 25 USD.
All these for 36 USD. The newly released Tamiya 35379 was around $15.
Had to catch myself from buying more resin AM items.
LP TOW turret set ~$21
LP TOW set ~$14.50
LP Droid set III ~$8
LP M1068A3 conversion set ~$26.40
DEF M1A2 detail set ~$11
Highly recommend Joyhobby if you ever visit Seoul. Don’t forget to get the tax refund (VAT refund) receipts if you buy and prepare the paperwork at the airport. I had forgotten to do that, and could have saved extra 20-25 USD if I had.
