They had been temporarily creating sales spaces for Dambe products at New Chitose Airport for a while now.

I wonder if a dam will come to Okinawa…

Why do you make it after moving from Hokkaido…?

>>4

Where do you live now?

When are you planning to move next?

I wonder why it’s not Sapporo.

>>5

March 29, 2025 (Saturday)

The new Gundam Base store is…

Opened at Okadama Airport!

>>5

Transportation within the prefecture converges around the area between Kitahiroshima and Chitose, so Chitose might be more convenient.

Also, the port is nearby.

I don’t have a chance to go to New Chitose.

Is there also Doraemon, Hello Kitty, and Pokémon at New Chitose Airport?

>>7

It’s Bandai’s stage.

If you use a plane, it might actually be closer than you think, right?

I’m a Fukuoka resident, but I’m envious of the airport.

>>9

You can go to the subway from the airport, can’t you?

>>9

If you’re based in Fukuoka, it should take about 30 minutes from the airport…

I wonder if the satellite and annex have different operating organizations.

>>11

Annex is operated by the same company as sideF in Tokyo Fukuoka.

I’m not sure, but is the area around the airport currently a lively commercial area?

>>12

The outlet mall right next to the airport just went out of business.

>>13

I see, there was land available!

Isn’t it that they want to target tourists who aren’t going to Sapporo?

Would building it inside the airport help with snow accumulation measures?

Chitose Airport has various facilities within the airport, so it seems like it could be enjoyable just to spend time there.

I was doing satellite sales before, but…

It seems it was hell in line.

Satellite discrimination is unacceptable.

I wonder why they still haven’t opened a store in Osaka.

>>20

It means to hold out with Ume Yodo and Kids Land.

There used to be an official shop in Osaka, right?

It’s more like locals flooding in rather than tourists.

Isn’t that just a souvenir level or something?

>>22

It has been announced that Gunpla will also be available.

The size is about the same as Satellite Nagoya.

People traveling to Sapporo use New Chitose Airport.

People in Sapporo are close to the airport.

Then it’s the airport.

Even though it’s nearby, it costs about 3000 yen for a round trip from Sapporo…

>>26

Don’t use reserved seats.

I wonder how big it is.

I feel like I can’t handle it just with Miku-san’s store.

>>27

The official floor map is out.

“Hurry up and make it in Osaka, useless.”

>>28

Only resellers are coming, aren’t they?

>>28

That’s why I can’t get it made, because I can only say it that way.

Make one in Okayama too.

Obligation

Okayama is a bit…

There is a Super Kids Land in Nihonbashi…

Make it in Toyama.

In Himi

Oh right, I remember there was a mysterious Gunpla event around last year.

Was that a weather balloon?

Maybe it’s going to be in the former Animate location. I’m a little happy.

It’s 2300 yen for a round trip from Sapporo, so it’s not too bad.

Is it possible to use the method of staying at an airport hot spring the day before the new product launch?

>>38

Since the operation is the same as in Tokyo and Fukuoka, I think those days will have an entry by lottery.

If you’re a resident, you obviously have a car, right?

“Give it to Shizuoka too…”

Even though there is a factory, isn’t the treatment a bit lacking?

>>43

Even if we build it close to the factory…

But Shizuoka isn’t strong in tourism, so there are hardly any places other than Gotemba…

Isn’t the Animate site super cramped?

I thought it was a site where Tsuruha or something was located.

That’s good, isn’t it?

If we’re going to make it, wouldn’t it be Shizuoka…?

It’s far from Sapporo, so I might not go… I would be happy if it were in Eniwa or Kitahiroshima, though.

New Chitose Airport is way too much fun!

It takes an hour by JR, and it’s quite a hassle, so I probably won’t go.

Unless you go to tourist spots, you can quite enjoy Hokkaido just by spending time at New Chitose.

It’s a place where you can spend an entire day at the dining place, hot springs, cinema, souvenir shop, and gallery.

I think I’ll go on my day off because it’s quick.

Build it in Osaka and attract customers from Kyoto.

An airport with both hot springs and arcade games.

Animate is gone, but…

Sapporo has Volks, you know…

The nearby outlet mall died because New Chitose Airport was just too attractive.

>>61

Even though it’s in Hokkaido, the outdoor style means sooner or later I’ll die.

Is it for tourists coming to Hokkaido?

There aren’t many sightseeing spots in Sapporo, so many people don’t go there.

Although it is still far, aiming for a base in Honshu has become much more realistic.

I envy my friend who lives just a five-minute walk away in Fukuoka.

Is there a Gundam Base above the Miku Museum?

That floor seems to have a very different atmosphere.

When trying to visit from outside the region for sightseeing, it basically has to be by plane.

It might change if the Shinkansen is extended to Sapporo, but I think it’s reasonable that people get congested in Chitose.

The options for a trip to Hokkaido without stepping outside of New Chitose Airport are gradually increasing.

I’m wondering where to build it in Sapporo.

It seems to be explicitly targeting foreign tourists, so there might be inflated prices.

>>71

Is there something that you can improve just by raising that aspect, even though the product itself is no different from others?

I changed my flight time to go back early, relaxed at the New Chitose Airport Onsen, and then returned from the airport.

It seems like I might end up in the red with transportation costs in Sapporo… Maybe the bus would be better…?

>>74

It’s tough to ride the bus with foreign tourists.

>>74

The train from Sapporo to New Chitose Airport should be the cheapest option.

Isn’t it about an hour to Sapporo from here?

Although the options are increasing, isn’t it still quite difficult even for residents of the region?

>>75

In Sapporo, it’s common to find shops that take an hour to get to, so it’s not a big deal at all.

>>75

You shouldn’t think of it in terms of how often you go to the supermarket.

Except for areas near Sapporo, it’s closer to go to Tokyo.

Just being within the prefecture makes a huge difference compared to before, right?

Even if you go by train from Sapporo, it will cost about the same as one HG model kit for a round trip.

Chitose is surprisingly close from Sapporo.

Hakodate is way further from Sapporo than I imagined.

I’m so happy!

Let’s make a Gundam statue in Chitose.

From Otaru it’s far, but from Tomakomai it’s close.

Most Sapporo residents likely find New Chitose easier to access than Escon.

It’s crowded around Chitose, so I don’t like taking the car, and the train is even more crowded, so I can’t do it without the motivation!

I’m a Sapporo resident, but it still takes about an hour to get to New Chitose Airport even with the Rapid Airport train…

Arrived at New Chitose Airport! It takes time to get to Sapporo from here…

The train is crowded because everyone has a lot of luggage.

The area set up at the airport is completely targeting foreign tourists, right?

It’s not just Pokémon, it’s completely aimed at inbound tourism, right?

It’s not a place I go to regularly, and the rapid airport train is sufficient.

For residents of Hokkaido, it’s just a place to have fun when they go outside the prefecture.

…It would be a problem if I bought a model kit…

It seems that the inventory at second-hand stores in Sapporo is likely to increase, and including transportation costs, it may actually be cheaper that way.

>>95

If that happens, even I, who dislike crowds, will be grateful to receive the benefits.

It’s good enough just to know that limited edition items can be bought within the prefecture.

If you’re just buying plastic models normally, you won’t have too much trouble in Sapporo city.

If anything, the one in Dambe is also aimed at tourists in the metropolitan area.
