    Hi guys,
    I hope this is the right place to put this, but I am moving to HK from Aust and want to know where I can get the G1 KO transformers (i.e. mirage, sludge, metroplex). I have seen heaps of sellers selling from HK on ebay but when I asked where are there stores in HK, most never reply.

    Anyone help me in my search in HK to find these elusive KO transformers.

    Also - once I find them, I will let everyone know how much they should REALLY be paying for them =)

    You can go to Kowloon and get the real things. I'm not going to say the toy stores are everywhere but if I can find one in an afternoon (walking around & before closing) you should be able to find one while you live there.

    Your best bet is to head up to Mongkok. There is a small toy district there. You will have to search high and low for alot of these shops many of them are tucked away inside the buildings you wouldn't even know they were there from outside.

    You will also find real Transformers here as well. Some hard to find ones too.

    Is that the Sino Centre? In HK there is alot of Hello Kitty crap etc, so finding transformers is much tougher, but when you see heaps of them from HK sellers you would be hoping to find a shop of some sort.
    Does anyone know (HK people attention!!) exact locations

    And yes, I am happy to pass on the "normal" price rather than the over inflated ebay prices
