Thanks for sharing the pics man. How much were those Jumbos going for? Too bad about the prices in HK, I have to admit overall prices for vintage in Japan isn't as bad as you might think.
Hope you are having a great trip overall, and can hopefully luck into some toy deals somewhere!Comment

Jumbos were going for maybe at least 30% higher than Tokyo? Combination of the bad exchange rate right now and slighter higher prices, but I'd also chalk that up to crazy high rent for these tiny shops? Looks like they newly renovated the Wan Chai building this vintage store was in, and they have moved to a smaller but newer space within the same building next door to Oriental 188 (Which also houses a McDonalds and Pacific Coffee).Last edited by samurainoir; Oct 14, '16, 6:15 PM.Comment

Oof, the newest photos aren't working for me.
I was curious about the exchange rate so I checked, the US dollar vs HK dollar wasn't much different compared to when I was there in '97. Is it the Canadian dollar, or do you just recall much better exchange rates when you were last there compared to me?Comment

Crossing fingers and toes!

it appears In's Point in Mong Kok, Kowloon side, is THE place for vintage now. I was really blown away by what they had. I'd say it's comparable to Tokyo's Nakano Broadway in terms of the kind of stuff you find there. I'll be posting more photos when I have another spare moment.

Finally pulled the trigger on one of my grail items. So I'm happy.

Nice stuff here, I've always had my eye on that Superman toy that's in the first pic, he's kind of unique looking.
And congrats again on the Leopardon Chogokin, I know you've really been wanting one. Looking forward to seeing him in person!Comment
