Nephew wants hard to find “Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury” gunpla, uncle comes to the rescue

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

In Japan, since the novel coronavirus pandemic, Gunpla has received a big boom in popularity (on the opposite end, resellers have been buying them out for resale at a higher price).  So, getting certain Gunpla, especially for the newer Gundam series “Kido Senshi Gandamu: Suisei no Majo” (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) has been a bit problematic in certain areas of Japan.

In a heartwarming story of awesome family bonds when it comes to gunpla, Midoriman tweeted the following, “I got a call from my nephew saying he won’t be home this year, so I asked ‘if there was anything you want?’. He said, ‘I wish I had it, but I want a Witch from Mercury Gunpla, they don’t sell it here at all…’. Wait, Nii-chan, I’ll send you something amazing”.

甥っ子から電話きて、今年は帰らないから、何か欲しいものあるか？って聞いたら
「あったらでいいんだけど、水星の魔女のガンプラが欲しい、こっちには全然売ってないから…」
とのこと。
待ってろ、にいちゃん、スゲーもん送ってやるからな。 pic.twitter.com/U3RDQZwLaW

Netizens saw what Midoriman tweeted and commented:

I’m worried that your nephew will collapse from happiness because the contents are so 🤣 amazing.

This kind of gift from my relative’s brother will be a lifetime memory, so it’s wonderful.

you’re fu**ing awesome I might be too surprised, but I’m sure he’ll be delighted.

Your uncle’s wealth is as big as Char’s gold nuggets.

Is this expensive? Gunpla, my generation could buy normally.
