Places for Toy Geeks to hang out in Hong Kong and China?

So it's been a decade since I've been overseas to Asia, and everything seems to change there by the second these days.

I'm planning for my trip right now. Where are the essentials for vintage and modern toys in Hong Kong and major metropolitan cities in China?

You should ask WannabeMego. He goes to Japan occasionally. Doc MEGO probably knows more about China.

I remember hitting some pretty decent vintage toy stores when I went to Hong Kong, but that was over 15 years ago, so I'm foggy on where they were (plus they might not even be there anymore). For modern stuff, I went to Toys R Us there, but it was completely packed. Like going to a Toys R Us here in December but 10 times worse. I could hardly move down the aisles it was so crowded, and this was in April! I don't know if it was normally like that or what, I don't think I could live in HK that's for sure.
