Post SARS airline tickets are definitely cheap.
According to my cousins/friends, etc the main model shops are in Mong Kok. Happy hunting!

I must go back!!!! :tongue:
I haven't been there since I was 3. (not interseted in models yet)
My cousins used to live there though. But even while they were there I still wasn't interseted in models.

Bring with you a lot of cash. I don't think they accept credit cards.
Can't wait to see what you bring back.:biggrin:

they accept credit card, but I would not suggest to use your cc for buying model cars. The shop will charge you additional 3%.

Yes, Hong Kong is basically the best place on the entire planet to buy scale models, its actually alot cheaper than Japan!!!
Anyway, my uncle's coming (finally) to Canada (where I live) and he bought me a Tamiya Enzo Ferrari (Yes people, prepare for another one). It costed only 160 bucks (HK dollar)!
