    No idea where or how to order them online I'm afraid.
    Never been into one. Don't think they do a short fat chick line that would work for me. ;) 

    Certainly willing to help out if you know exactly what you are after and I can source it for you.

    Sentinel Optimus Prime Pen is available in Wan Chai Market.
    Also loads of MP wheeljacks and at least one gunface Lockdown.
    Snarl is also available, Takara Tomy Nemesis Prime and Legacy of Revoltech Convoy.

    Couldn't resist picking him up to bring home. Ugh - too many Primes being released this year! (That's a UGH it's hurting my pockets coz I gotta have them all)

    Wan Chai is also quite quiet because there are no trams and very little traffic getting through thanks to the protesting on either side which meant fewer people when I was there earlier.

    Gunface was in a store on the left when coming from the tramline (not the first one - although that's where the OP pen is). The first store also had a white Grimlock (never heard of that one before).

    All the shops had loads of one step Rollbar and a really ugly Hotshot (Crosshairs reimaged in Red and blue) as well as a few other Transformer bits and pieces that I didn't have the $$ on me to buy. They all seemed to be resupplied with other cars in the MP series to complement Wheeljack too.

    Thanks. So are you referring to store on the left with the TF's on the immediate right?

    A white Grimlock? Definitely white? Was it the classics Overkill?

    Yeah. I always forget to ask for a business card from the place with Gunface. Store is on the left (coming from the tramline) about 1/2 way down the street - has a couple of toy stores opposite it on the right (Hung Hing toys I think those 2 shops on the right are called... owned by the same guy as they share toys between them).

    I didn't ask to open the box on White Grim but he looked like he was MP sized... If you head down there perhaps you can confirm what he is... I didn't dare ask the price - you know how expensive that first place can be...
    They are selling the Breakout Battle set for $200 more than I paid.
    They were desperately trying to sell me other Optimus's but were kind of shocked I already had them all (except the exorbitantly priced Japanese rusty Prime which I refuse to buy for their price).

    Wasn't TF4... Was in a big white box similar to the MP-08 from Japan.

    Speaking of, they just called me to let me know they have Optimus with Sideswipe in for $1169 and want me to come back... lol... Think I'll shop around for it coz that sounds a little pricey to me.

    I think it is First Edition TF4 Optimus that comes with sideswipe and trailer?

    Asia reissue MP Optimus isn't out until November is he?

    So many Optimus to keep track of this year!

    They also had the Protectobot sets in Wan Chai too but I felt they were over-priced. (And I really need to stick to only collecting Optimus or I'm going to send our household broke!)

    If anyone sees the Asia reissue MP-10 (with Vector Sigma) around town can you let me know where and how much?

    Asked in Causeway Bay Toys R Us yesterday and the manager didn't even know about it and told me I was dreaming and that OP wasn't being re-released.
    Asked again in Wan Chai markets and the first store (normally the expensive one) hasn't been able to order stock yet ... or so they claim.

    Really hoping that the Toys R Us manager was just ignorant and that they will be stocking it... I need 2 of them and I really don't want to have to buy online.

    24th October shipping date apparently. If you want one I'd get it from RobotKingdom. I doubt you'll find it cheaper on the street and it will only rise in price.

    Not recently, although given the protests in Mong Kok I haven't been over that way in a while...
    One of the stores in Wan Chai does have a few BT's but they are in a glass case hidden behind other Transformers so not sure who is hiding back there...

    Finding any MP's 6-12 months after their release date is tough especially for a tolerable price.

    MP10 (before the reissue) was going around here for US$500 upwards.
