Think he likes like european cars and classics like E30 M3, or E92, F30 M3. Porsches, lamborghinis, aston martins. And also Japanese cars like GT-Rs, Lancer Evolutions, etc.

i heard they carry auto arts and other diecasts, Ive never been or heard of them till yesterday
they have been around for a long time? but this was not their original location, and they might be moving again in the near future because the complex they are in might become more condos.
imperial does have diecasts, but their main focus is on plastic models, collectibles, RPG and comic stuff...

I remember going on a waiting list ordering boxes of revised edition Magic: The Gathering cards there and spending my whole allowance saved up on it hahaha
Selling my 1:18 Autoart Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 50th anniversary edition in yellow if anyone is interested for what I paid, $220. I mentioned that I paid $180 CAD for it a few pages back but I forgot it was in USD which is around $215-220 CAD or I will trade for a 1:18 Autoart Lamborghini Veneno.

There are a lot of moving parts on this Aventador Roadster and the build quality is super impressive....... I made some videos of various things.
The doors actually have door handles you push forward to pop the doors and they are spring loaded. They open regardless of whether the roof panels are in or out:
Popping the front hood... this one is almost impossible to grab and get a hold of, the fitment is so tight... and it's neat how it goes forward and up at the same time (so does the engine lid too):
So guys, I am going to HK (and China -- mostly in Shenzhen area) next week for 12 days... any suggestions for good model car stores to go to? I think that huge eBay retailer is in HK right? Forgot his name off the top of my head... but yah... please point this gwai lo in a promising direction!
Three main places I goto in hk are ModelcarExpo, NewAce, and Hung Hing in wanchai.
When I goto to the hk side. I usually start of with going to Hung Hing Toysfirst then I would head to New Ace Models. After that I will walk over to Autoart. If you have time, you can check out Dabox Toys too.
For the Kowloon side, I just head to Mong Kong and goto Model Car Expo and the surrounding shops around that area. For the Richmond Commercial Building, there is a shop on the 2nd floor I believe. He sometimes have some rare models that is forsale for cheap.
Another option is contact some of the ebay sellers that are from HK. If you see any models you like, you can ask them if they can meet up instead of shipping. I did that before.
And also Daboxtoys Model Cars (DMC) which I just ordered some stuff over boxing week and had them hold it for me till I get back to HK to grab them
