During the first half of this month, we received a fresh wave of new Bandai kits, including several long-awaited releases from Gunpla, 30 Minutes Label, Figure-rise Standard, and other Bandai model kit lines. At the same time, we have also brought in something a little different for UK builders: Volks’ Five Star Stories kits, including the 1/100 IMS series and the latest VSMS kits.

And yes — our warehouse is getting very full again. So alongside these new arrivals, we are also starting a space clearance on selected items to make room for the next incoming deliveries.

New Gunpla and Bandai Kits Arrived

The first half of May brought in a strong mix of new releases and popular new additions, for example:

These arrivals cover a wide range of builders: from Gundam SEED fans, GQuuuuuuX followers, Macross builders, 30 Minutes Label customisers, to Armored Core VI fans looking for something sharp and mechanical.

Long-Awaited Reprints and Restocks

In addition to the new items, we also received a number of long-awaited reprints and restocks, for example:

Some of these are kits we have been waiting for since last year, when we first started procuring Gunpla through our distributors. It is always satisfying to finally put them on the shelf and make them available to UK builders.

Volks Five Star Stories Kits Now Available

Besides regular Bandai arrivals, we have also imported something very special from Japan: Volks’ Five Star Stories model kits.

For those who are less familiar with it, The Five Star Stories is a Japanese manga created by Mamoru Nagano, running since 1986. Mamoru Nagano is also well known in the mecha design world, including his work connected to iconic Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam designs such as the Qubeley, Rick Dias and Hyaku-Shiki.

The mecha design of Five Star Stories has always been praised for its unique aesthetics, elegance, faction identity, and futuristic imagination. These are not “just another Gunpla alternative”. They have their own design language and a very distinctive presence.

At Modelverse, we have brought in Volks’ available 1/100 IMS kits and the latest VSMS series kits, so UK builders can experience something different without having to import them individually from Japan.

Please note, however, that these kits are generally more challenging than most standard Gunpla. They may require more modelling experience, careful assembly, seam work, painting, or finishing skills. For builders who enjoy a more involved project, they can be extremely rewarding.

Space Clearance: Making Room for More Kits

After receiving a large amount of stock over the past few weeks, our warehouse space is under pressure.

Rather than running a general sale on everything, we are starting a more focused space clearance on selected items. These are mainly products where we have deeper stock, larger boxes, slower movement, or simply need to free up room for new arrivals.

The goal is simple: more space in the warehouse, better prices for builders, and faster movement of stock so we can continue bringing in new and interesting kits.
