We had a day out from Lincoln to visit this store and it didn't disappoint. I promised my son after he'd finished his GCSE's that we would have a trip out to stock up (for Christmas! We listen and we... See more

Company details
Written by the company
Hello and welcome to Rivals Corner! First of all thank you for visiting our small hobby store. Rivals Corner was founded for a love of all things Japanese, Gundams and more importantly, a passion and nostalgia for the 90's and retro anime. We wanted the store and its logo to capture the feel of a Konbini [コンビニ] / convenience store from Japan, with bold lettering and familiar colours of a certain popular mecha ;) It’s currently run as an online only store [for now!] by me and my wife. We know there are a lot of other great stores out there and more established but our goal will be to open the first specialised hobby store for Japanese model kits in London. It may take some time, but hopefully with enough dedication, patience, some support from the community and let’s face it, da monies, we’ll be able to reach our goal and continue to serve a growing community of passionate fans and newcomers alike. For now we're primarily stocking Gunpla but we will grow our collection to other model kits and series in the future! If you'd like to request for a specific product, feel free to drop us a line and we'll see if we can find it and stock it in our store! We hope you enjoy our website and come back again to support our small business!

Great service
Great service, quick delivery with a nice hand written thank you card. Figure itself is pretty good but it is flimsy in the shoulders, waist and skirts. Despite that it is definitely a solid purchase

Always a fantastic service with fast delivery and utmost care in packaging and customer service! Always love the personalised message included and also stickers!
I purchased the Blokees Evangelion Unit-01 kit and it is fantastic! Rivals did a great summary of it on their socials and I couldn’t agree more with their assessment!
Always a happy customer!
