We here at GundamNation are quite new to the Anime industry and as such our website is just starting out, because of this we may have a few kinks that we might need to work out. So we are asking for your help, if you notice any problems whilst using the site, please let us know via the contact us page. But don't worry; the ordering system is in perfect working order. So far we have been informed about the following minor annoyances:

~~1) Changing the page resets the search when you search from the top right hand side search bar.~~
2) We are aware that you cannot confirm your membership. Don't worry we will contact you.
3) Product codes with hyphens ( - ) do not seem to display their large pictures on internet explorer.

We now accept payments using paypal, debit and credit cards. Please note you do not need to have a paypal account to use this service. Have fun shopping guys!

Call off the search party - stop worrying - loose sleep no longer - Gundamnation.com is back! Yes after a most unexpected delay we have finally moved to a more reliable host. For you this means you should never find the infamous 'internal server error' when logging onto Gundam Nation. However like Santa's elf's, Gundam Nation's admin have been hard at work behind the scenes. Many products have been added (check out our special kits) and even more pictures just for your viewing pleasure! So please- eat, browse and be merry - gundam nation is back at last!

Hello there guys n gals, what can I say, the London EXPO was an amazing show with huge attendance and we were completely swamped. I would like to start be saying a HUGE thank you to everyone who attended over the weekend and paid us a visit especially those of you who just couldn’t stay away (you know who you are). We are now pushing to get GundamNation launched and fully operational by the first week of November and will be mailing all questionnaire fillers soon. Also our re-stock has been delayed for a few weeks so my apologies to all the eager fans out there but fear not, in order to make up for our late re-stock we will be adding not one, not two, but 3 entire ranges of products meaning an update of over 30 new products and we all know one of them has to be the newest series out there Gundam 00. Until then we shall aim our best to complete the site and get all the features ready for you all. But remember, all contact e-mails work so if you have any ideas, questions or suggestions please let us know, otherwise enjoy the site and well catch you soon.

Hello guys!!! Been a while, sorry about this late update, been going crazy trying to sort out my bills and boring stuff since we got back. Well where to begin, day after we got back from holiday we went straight back into the convention scene and attended Alcon. This was a convention set up by the guys at anime league and although it was a new (and therefore small) event it was a good laugh. I got to meet a few familiar faces and some new people got to see what we are all about. I would just like to say a big thank you to all the Alcon committee, gophers and most of all the fans who showed up and gave support to us, we thank you guys soo much and just wait till we are fully operational, we’ve got a lot of surprises in stall for you.

On the note of being fully operational here’s a quick breakdown of what’s going on:
Firstly sorry about the change in name but we we’re going to be trading under the names GundamNation to make it easy for Gundam fans to find us and also GAnimeNation to show other anime fans that we stock other stuff. Secondly, we are slowly expanding our stocks and are going to become a specialist retailer of not only Gundam but Gashapon (Japanese Capsule Toys [see FAQ for more info). Lastly we are going to be filling in the site over the next few days on the build up to the MCM London EXPO on the 20th and 21st October after which we will be fully operational and finally able to take online orders (Fingers crossed anyway). We're aiming to have all the products online by the 1st of October and the credit card and Paypal facilities up and running for straight after the EXPO.

London EXPO will probably be our last event for a while so we hope we get a chance to see all you guys soon. We also went to the Midlands EXPO a few days back and it was great fun (our biggest display yet) but we're aiming for bigger and better things so keep an eye on us and well be sure to keep you guys happy. I have also decided to add a small anime review under the Gundam guide (which still needs adding :p, I promise ill get it done soon), which will feature odd comments I have about new anime and some recommendations I would pass your way. For some more info on our anime likes please check out the about us section, otherwise that’s about it. So take care enjoy the site updates and please mail me with any questions you guys have, I’ll always be happy to help you, anyway must get cracking on the stock list and Gundam guide, so for now farewell and hope to see you guys soon, Have Fun.

For those about to leave this site due to this unfamilar name please be aware (as explained below) this site's name has changed to www.gundamnation.com (previously www.ganimenation.co.uk and prior to that www.projectmecha.twilightdesigners.com).

This goes out to all the wonderful people who attended the Amecon and helped support my dream of working in the anime industry. What can I say guys, for my first con it was fantastic, I loved how enthusiastic fans were and I learnt so much from you all, and the costumes . . . wow! Special thanks goes out to all the staff and gophers for the event and those select few who helped me rescue the days takings when my cash box broke open outside Charles Wilson, you guys are stars!
I was seriously amazed at the quality of the costumes and the great feedback I received from all the fans. I can’t wait for my next cons at Alcon and the MCM EXPO in Telford, I hope to see all of you again some time in the near future.

A few quick announcements now guys, some of you may know that ill be on holiday for a few weeks so the site will be inactive from till about mid September, after this all of those that left me their e-mails will be informed of the new stock and full version of the site which will contain the actual products and the correct prices. The current site is still in the testing stages so any ideas can be forwarded via the contacts page.

Secondly I have left a contact number on the site for Leicester customers to arrange pick ups of products directly from me, this will be on voice mail till I return but I will try and get back to anyone who has any anime queries, just check out the contact us section.

Finally the site will be migrating to a new name and will be known as Gundamnation.com, hope this doesn’t confuse you guys too much, but don’t worry ill still be stocking lots of other stuff in the future but Gundam kits sort of dominate my stock at the mo. Gundam Nation will still link to the site so you don’t have to remember too many names. Also there will be some hidden surprises coming up soon so stay tuned for new products, offers, events and lots lots more.

P.S. I just want to say one last thanks to all the fans that visited my stall at the con. I couldn’t have been prepared for the warm reception I received from fans and I will always be striving to get the best deals, prices and items for you guys because you all really made the whole con a wonderful experience. I also want to quickly say sorry for not seeing anyone at the other events in the con, my partner and I own 2 rabbits and we had to rush back to let them out for their days exercise but, we will try our best to make it to other events in the future (also there is a clue as to one of the surprises for the site in this paragraph). So thanks again and keep watching lots of anime and reading loads of manga and ill catch you guys some time soon,

Welcome to the official opening of Gundam Nation!!! For those of you that aren’t sure about the history of the site or are just curious please check out the about us section otherwise lets get to the good stuff.

This site aims to provide customers with a unique and tailored approach to fulfilling your anime needs. At the moment I am currently only stocking a large selection of Gundam modelling kits and currently I believe (apart from e-bay) I have the most varied collection of Gundam kits available in the UK (But don’t quote me on that, you know someone’s going to get me for that comment :p).

But for all you other fans, don’t be disheartened, I am also stocking various other merchandise ranging from figures, key chains, modelling tools, scrolls, dvds etc. and will expand greatly over the next year or so. What I need from you guys is ideas, I want to know what products you want or are looking for, what’s hard to get and what you’d exchange the clothes of your back to get (no undressing please). I want to provide you the customers with the things you want and at a reasonable price. So if you fancy helping me out, please click on the Questionnaire link and fill in a brief questionnaire on your favourite anime/manga and suggestions for stock and even for the anime shop.

Also I am running a trial based loyalty scheme that will provide some customers (mainly Gundam or modelling fans) with special offers and discounts for those willing to pay a small membership price, however this is only on a trial bases and is currently limited to 40 people as the services being offered are, well . . . check out the Loyalty Scheme link if you’re interested, but remember its first come first serve so don’t be disheartened if you don’t get it this time round, there will be other chances.

Finally, some of you may or may not know that this site a precursor for the first anime dedicated store in Leicester, the aim is to be opening up shop before October 2008. As such I will be based in Leicester during the next year so for those of you lucky enough to reside in old Leicy, you can waver delivery costs and pick up any ordered items in person by contacting me in advance and arranging collection, please refer to the Leicester customers section for details.

Otherwise that’s about it so enjoy the site and if you have any specific questions to ask me, please e-mail me using the details from the contact page section.
