HFTD Tuner Skids

Was actually disappointed that I couldn't get more Prime figures especially Arcee... I thought HK was like the toy hub in SE Asia so there will be quite a wide range of transformers but when I went to "Toys Area", it was really nothing special. Though if you like anime and vintage stuffs, theres quite a lot over there.. The prime figures were gotten from ToyRus too.
Maybe the next time would be better.

After factoring in the hassle of carrying in back, it may not be worth it. Good thing is their stocks are faster than us e.g. Transformers Prime and retail price is generally cheaper than ours. But then, it seems that TFs are also getting hot in HK so things run out pretty fast e.g. Prime, Generations and United stuff.

That's where I got my information from. In any case I went to In's point and Sino Centre only due to lack of time, have to say hardly any transformers (current ones), I think our CSC got more.
There is definitely a lot of vintage, G1 transformers, legos and anime toys though if that's what you like. I think your best bet is hobby base, also take note that the shops opens at 3-4pm; I went there too early and hate to wait for 2 hours before they open.
And yes their retails' are cheaper than us; around 5SGD difference.

But I'm quite surprised by how small it is in hand. I think even Generations Wheeljack is slightly taller than Hot Rod.
Now comes the decision....Protector?

Buy first, regret later
