Bandai Namco Cross Store celebrated its Grand Opening on February 28, 2025 at Industry City’s Japan Village in Brooklyn, NY. As a one-stop shop for all things made by Bandai Namco Group companies, you’ll be able to browse a vast selection of product lines from the One Piece Card Game, Bandai Spirits Hobby Shop, Tamagotchi, Tamashii Nations, Sun-Star Stationery, Pac-Man Select, MegaHouse, Namco Games, Gashapon, and more!
Many Bandai fans attended to be one of the first to experience this all-new storefront, the first of its kind in the United States. There was no doubt that the One Piece TCG (below) was the bestseller of the day, with hundreds of players eager to purchase cards. But the other departments were filled with fan-favorite items as well! Tamagotchi & Tamashii Nations had a huge selection of devices including Spy Family, Jujutsu Kaisen, Star Wars, Demon Slayer, and Kamen Rider… as well as toys like various SH Figurarts figures, no longer requiring you to make the trip out to Times Square.
The Namco arcades included Taiko Drums, Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 OverBoost, Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5DX, and Animal Kaiser, which share the same tokens that you would use for the unbelievable Gashapon section:
How about nearly 200 Gashapon machines! From anime characters to funny prizes, Cross Store’s Gashapon section has it all. And for everything else, Sun-Star Stationery, Pac-Man Select, and MegaHouse have got you covered, thanks to their assortment of character stationery, apparel, houseware, books, and statues. And we can’t forget about the Bandai Spirits Hobby Shop. If you’re a model kit enthusiast, look no further! Feast your eyes on model kits for Gundam, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, and other popular properties. There are even tools, action bases, and the latest models from Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance and Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX:
