Hello!

I'm going on holiday to Hong Kong next week, and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good toyshops over there that sell Transformers.

Thanks in advance!

Ryan.

Couple mentions of Hong Kong in my post inquiring about buying TFs in China: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=60246

My wife came back empty handed, but she wasn't in Hong Kong...

Thanks for all your helpful replies; I've now returned from my trip.

There were quite a few branches of TRU out there, and I managed to pick up Buster Prime, EZ Devastator (which are being sold in multipacks over there) and the Ice Cream Twins (which haven't yet reached the UK).

Oh, and it's a great city - I'd reccommend it to anyone!

Was Buster Prime a decent price there?

It was HKD 639.90.

That works out to around £50 GBP, the price of a regular Leader over here in the UK. Had I bought Buster Prime online, I'd've had to pay import costs and taxes, so I probably saved about £30 buying it on holiday.

Regular Leader-class figures over there (such as the regular Prime) were on sale at HKD 390, reduced from an RRP of 490. So it must've cost TRU a bit extra to source Buster Prime from Japan.
