Anime & Hobby shops in Hong Kong
Sun 2010/04/04 15:34 JST
This is more of a follow up to my Previous Inquiry
Maybe the info i gather might be outdated already, etc.. etc..
So the point:
Where the best shops that sell anime stuff, especially figures?
Also where can i find Hobbyshops that sell aircraft model kits & the like?
..besides those in the previous post of mine.
While we're at it..
Where can I find PC joysticks like Saiteks, Thrustmaster or CH products aside from Wanchai?
It's because we will be going there next week. I want to maximize my "looting" for anime goods etc. while being there :)

Thanks for any info that you could add. ^^
Sino Centre in Mong Kok
Actually there's loads of places just that you have to walk in the right mall is not an easy thing, especially how HK is super crowded:)
Tsuen Wan : Next to MTR there's a mall and on the bottom floor there's lots as well.
But I would prefer Sino Centre where there's
Nendroids, figmas,loads of anime goodies, manga, artbooks .. anime osts. etc..
As for hobby shops around MK there should be loads:D!
What do you have to say about the prices ? I really want to stop by HK when I go back to the Philippines.
There's also animate which is upstairs... uh, the road behind Nathan Road i.e. behind Sino Centre-ish. Walk 'til you smell stinky tofu.
That place sometimes has nice deals and around Christmas, they have a small discount too.
Sino Centre, as pointed out by kerobear, can have nice deals too. You gotta look around first and beware of bootlegs (but generally bootlegs are easier to spot). For weekdays, go in late afteroon/early evening. And weekends should be okay for most shops to open. I recall one of them not openning all the time til later or something?
Aircraft model kits and stuff... I'm not too sure on where but model guns are also in Mongkok. Uh... walk down Dundas Street (i.e. where animate is. It's corner of that street + the other one that's parallel to Nathan Road) and... uh, keep on walking down 'til you see this sorta street/alley that's for people but not cars? You'll also find those model cars and Gundam kits too.
Hm, I somewhat suspect Dad may know where aircraft model kits are since... I dunno, he randomly knows places in HK. =O
