At Sakata no Tane Garden Square, on the first floor of Landmark Plaza, an approximately 17-meter tall balloon is displayed reproducing the Last Shooting.

A Stamp Rally will be held at the six locations of GUNDAM PORT YOKOHAMA. When you bring your completed stamp sheet to the goal, the GFY ticket counter, you can get fantastic items as prizes, according to how many stamps you have collected. I was able to collect all six stamps, so I got a GPY-limited clear file, a 1/144 RX-78-2 Gundam Assembly Experience Version, and GPY-limited stickers!
