TFs in Hong Kong

[Sam]

Just wanted to post a quick update regarding the stalls Siu Maan and Sun Woh (i.e. Sino), for those of you that may be planning to visit Hong Kong soon.

Siu Maan's level 16 stalls are gone as far as I can tell. The security guard told me some of them have moved to level 2 (in the same building), the rest are gone.

Sun Woh's levels 9 and 10 don't have many toy shops either, there was only one "Action Toys" store. Level 7 has a couple of other toy stores though.

Animate (also located near, but outside of, Siu Maan) still has a few TF related items. I saw MP Grimlock there for 800HKD, which was around 200HKD cheaper than the MP Grimlock I saw at "Toy Forest" in Ma On Shan's shopping centre.

hmmm... i was the impression that all the toy shops in Sun Woh has been long gone since like 2004, except for 1 or 2 on the ground floor.

Would add that Inn's Point at Tsim Tsha Tsui is the 'new' CTMA Building far as I can tell from back in 2008.

Yup.

CTMA Building is in Mongkok. The basement of CTMA, where all the action is and where I got my MISB Grand Max, only opens at 4pm. So lots of time to do other shopping before that.

Sun Woh is just diagonally behind CTMA (not sure there are toy shops there anymore, but Sam seems to know of some).

There is a Gundam modeller's showroom diagonally opposite CTMA.

ye but Toy Forest at Ma On Shan had Buster OP for HK$498, MP Megatron for $550 or so, and G1 Megatron for HK$480 I think

think u guys should also check out Chai Wan too, specially the 188 Shopping Mall, since typically, they have cheaper takara stock there like alternity and disney label. Then there's a Grand Toys Company in Star Avenue at Tsim Sha Tsui that stocked quite a lot of stuff (including stuff a few years ago, like the Robot Masters Skywarp and Thundercracker), got a 2007 Final Stand dere for only $79.

how recent is your 188 info?

188 is mostly and substantially games, comics (and ahem, porn). Long gone were the days where there were a large amount of toy shops there.

For G1 (Vintage not Encore) Toys.

Don't bother with Hong Kong.

Its as simple as that.
