Default Gundam Models in Calgary

So, with all this spare time on my hands, I figured my son and I would take this opportunity to give some basic gundam model building a try. I found what to look to be easy beginner models but everything on Amazon is pushed back by at least a month for non essentials such as this. Any suggestions locally that may work or even another site to order form outside of Amazon?

Thanks

Ugh....name of the store escapes me atm but there is that dice game store in Chinook near the movie theater? Failing that, there is a place called Metal Galaxy in the same complex the "new" Back Alley is in? Strikes me as a place that may have it?

Really guessing here, not something I'd typically keep an eye out for.

There is a store in Dragon city mall downtown which stocks plenty of Gundam supplies, as well as PM hobby on 32nd, their supply is actually pretty large as well carrying beginner up to Perfect Grade models.

Also https://www.canadiangundam.com/ is reliable for getting stuff through and often at a discount.

I ended up getting ahold of this place and they were great. Pointed me in the right direction, easy curb side pick up and so far my son lives building the model. Most likely will end up hitting them up again for a other model to build eventuality.

Yeah they are a great little store. I found them for board games, free rentals on Wednesdays, but they were always friendly and helpful.
