Well we all know what Canadian Transformer displays at TRU or Walmart, and they're not too different from those at the US stores, but I thought I'd share the Hong Kong experience with some pics from their TRUs.
A few things to note first, HK TRUs sell a lot more Japanese product. As you'll see, Henkei is everywhere, last summer I went Classics was everywhere. Seems as though HK fans get the best of both worlds and at reasonable prices. One big pull for tourists is the fact that HK has no sales tax, you heard me =P Also business is done a little differently, on weekends they have small seminars in TRUs to teach kids how to build their Gundam kits or even one that I walked into today had Animated figures out for kids to try out! Anyway, enough of me blabbering and here are some pics!
Those above are all Toys R Us, one of the larger ones at Ocean Terminal (Tsim Sha Tsui Station) and Tai Koo Sing Jong Sum (Tai koo Station). Hunted at Po Lam's TRU too but they didn't have any spectacular display. Seems like the Ultimate Bumblebee isn't selling too well either huh? Also, never knew the Road Bots so large.
These pictures are from a smaller hobby store that I always visit when I go back to Hong Kong. Got my MP Megatron from them =D Store is called Animate United, not much in terms of Animated and stuff but more so in Henkei.
One thing to note is the equal love of Gundams =P These are from a Japanese department store called Jusco. They had Henkei stuff too and the Classics Magnus vs Prime two pack. What I want to note is the SDCC Universe Nemesis Prime is available there! It was also available at Apita (another Japanese dept store) They had a great display but they don't allow photography in their store.
