ICv2 visited The Gundam Base – Chicago at 5220 Fashion Outlets Way unit 1050, Rosemont, Illinois 60018 in the Fashion Outlets of Chicago.
This first official The Gundam Base store opened up on December 12, 2025 (since then, stores have also opened in Seattle and Minneapolis). It is a 3000-square foot love letter to all things Gundam, and it is, to say the least, impressive. The store offers shoppers a chance to browse aisles upon aisles of model kits, merch, and more.
This store also has a play area dedicated to Gundam CG (see “New ‘Gundam CG’ Booster Set“), and runs in-store organized play events. Gundam CG players can also hand around and pick-up casual games there, all while they look for new merch to buy.
