Hi /toy/!
I'll be in Hong Kong for 3 days next week.
I knew some places in Mong Kok like CTMA or In's point.
Mainly I collect tamashii nation products, but I love me some bootleg toys.
So, any recommendations (or guide) where to go for toy hunting?
Any advices are greatly appreciated!
Sham shui po has a toy street but most stuff is cheap chinese shit. But recommended for all the gadgets and worth a visit

If you walk further down the road where Mong Kok's Sino Center is, you should see a large mall in Yau Ma Tei that specializes in lots of toys from ancient robos to new figures. You should be there when you see a lone elevator on the side, or just keep walking until you see a large set of stairs and escalators. I recommend checking it out.
Also if you go above the main shopping part in Sino Center there's more stores by elevator. There was a record store and a floor or two above a store that specialized in robots, some oldies on consignment there too.
Check almost every building in Mong Kok. One time I was meeting up with a girl and saw a Death Note guy on a poster. Went in the building which I had never been in before. They had a lot of specialty stores like an all Star Wars and an all Keroro and all Gundam etc.
For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Where to buy
>GSC Online Shop - some figmas only are available through their online shop
>Amiami - usual place for buying, to some people, shipping is a bit higher due to packaging
>Hobby Link Japan shipping is usual lower, but their prices are a bit higher, private warehaouse is available
>Hobby Search Japan - items stay in stock the longest
>Mandarake - search figma or フィグマ
>eBay/Amazon - only if you hate having too much money. Avoid bootlegs, you can spot them as 'Chinese version'
>http://jungle-scs.co.jp/ - Seems like you can fine some good deals here
>Check the BST threads, My Figure Collection for any offer/deal

The S shape is always good advice though. The basic idea is that straight lines tend to look stiff.
Do you have problems swapping part in your figures? check this little advice

Plenty of other places will have listings too so if the main three all dry up google around a bit. God speed.
With the dawn of rampant chain generals I find myself missing the days of old, where one toy could command a whole thread, and a shitpost could evolve into a spontaneous game.
Don't get me wrong, generals are great for conversation, but I think we need to relax the ranks a little.
So here's the deal. Post what you want, be it content, comments, games, gifs, opinions, facts, what have you. Post, shut over each other, be loud, have fun
Tldr:
As long as it's allowed in the rules, post it here.
ITT: ANYTHING GENERAL
isnt this thread counter active to what you want?
collating "free form posts" into a single thread is in essence, a general in itself.
stop waiting for people to post interesting shit for you. post them yourself.
want to start a game? start one.
want to try drawing, go draw something and we will shitpost that thread into oblivion.
/toy/ doenst exist to post for you, so post what you want and hope it catches on.
TLDR:
Stop being an entitled twat, you twat.
>>5631985
In some senses yes it does, I had considered that, and rest assured, I do try to park up threads where I can via contribution and conversation and (back in the day) games.
But also I figured this may be a way to loosen people up a little outside of just shitposting in other threads. This is a place MEANT to be off topic and silly, more than anything an experiment just to remind people not everything needs to be themed.
Tldr: I feel like twatting around, thanks for twatting too.
Legends Class gets all the love from 3P's it seems.
