The grand opening of the Gundam Base Minneapolis, a new Gundam superstore located in the Mall of America, has been indefinitely postponed. The original date of September 30 had been anticipated as a day of joy and excitement for fans of the Gundam anime mecha franchise. However, the store failed to open on time and no definitive opening date has been announced since then.
Bandai Namco, the company behind the store, attributed the delay to "unforeseen circumstances" and expressed regret for the inconvenience caused. The store's opening was also supposed to coincide with the launch of the Bandai Namco Cross Store, an anime and character merchandise specialty shop situated next to Gundam Base Minneapolis. Unfortunately, the Cross Store has also been postponed indefinitely.
While Bandai Namco has shown some understanding towards the fans' disappointment by announcing the delay a few days before September 30, the lack of additional details regarding the cause of the setback leaves the timeline uncertain. It remains unclear how long the delay may last, but it is evident that fans are eagerly awaiting further information to plan their visits. Bandai Namco has assured the fans that they will provide more information once a new opening date is confirmed.
