Overseas Toy Shop Locations

[Defiler]

Came across some of my old photos and tot this would be helpful. Here goes:

Bangkok

Pilom Plaza
Saphan Lek, Mahachai Road

Jupiter, 1st floor.
10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday; 9am to 6.30pm, Saturday and Sunday
(02) 222 8700, (02) 222 8700, ext 133, 137
Found this shop through at a local paper article (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/webdiver/DSCF1337.jpg)

The brown building (http://www.soidb.com/img/bangkok/shop/shopping_mall/gallery/zm_0311_00085_01.jpg) - You can find Pilom Plaza in the Chinatown area, close to Grande Ville Hotel.

Pilom Plaza is mainly toy shops. Prices are not dirt cheap, but you may be able to find elusive stuff.

MBK Center
- 7th Level
There are shops on both the left and right wing of the centre cinema "block". Remember to check both sides! During my 1st few trips, it appears to me that the shops change drastically. :o

Do feel free to add on for other areas, countries! :yeah:

Is this location you have near the shopping center which has a zoo on its top level?

Where is the best place to shop for toy in HK??

Pls advise...

[Godmaster]

What are you looking for? The places commonly to check out are near Yaumatei and Mongkok area.

[jdelpiero]

Toy shop in HK would probably be the best place to shop for toy in HK. :thumbsup:

As per forum guidelines, I suggest you do a simple search before asking for more information.

Try "Hong Kong". You won't have to search for long before you find some very useful posts.
