Bandai Namco Amusement Europe Ltd is set to follow on the success of the first UK Bandai Namco Cross Store in Camden Market with another collection of Bandai Namco Group brand stores opening at London’s Victoria Place on the 14th of November, followed with more stores opening nationally.

Continuing to celebrate the physical nature of entertainment and Bandai Namco’s rich brands, the new stores will house GASHAPON collectables, Ichibankuji and Sun-Star Stationery.

As Japanese pop-culture such as anime, manga, and video games, contribute to the global appeal of Japanese collectables, there is a huge growth of Japanese entertainment in the UK market. For example, on average 76% of Brits have collected Japanese collectables for nearly ten years.

As the popularity of Japanese culture, collectables, digital and physical experience continue to rise in the UK, these new stores offer a slice of those experiences adored throughout Japan by the Bandai Namco Group supporting a passionate community.

This new collection of stores will open in Victoria Place. Now with further ‘Bandai Namco Group stores’ entering the UK, this extends the feeling of excitement and community in physical spaces, orchestrating conversation, fun and collectibles.

“Once again, the ‘Bandai Namco Group’ are expanding their physical experiences outside of Japan allowing our well-known brands to embrace UK communities, celebrating more fun and collections which continue to build passionate fans”, said John McKenzie MD of Bandai Namco Amusement Europe. “As Japanese culture becomes more loved in the UK market with food, art, anime, gaming and collectables, we continue to embrace this, listen to our fans and deliver rich products as we expand into further parts of the UK.”

“It is great to offer our customers this new and unique offer at London Victoria Station” Hamish Kiernan, Commercial Director, Network Rail. “The opening of Bandai Namco will undoubtedly create excitement and attract new shoppers to Victoria Place. We look forward to supporting its success and are thrilled to be part of their UK expansion.”

You will be introduced to some of your favourite Japanese characters and an array of on trend miniature collectables.

To rush to the scene, players operate the authentically digitised HLF20 and TLF3000 fire trucks by German manufacturer Schlingmann. Specialised tools are used to eliminate dangerous materials or obstacles, and cut free passengers trapped in wrecked cars. The free Emergency Pack can be downloaded directly from the in-game ModHub.
