These will probably be my last Tomicas in awhile

Happy 2019 All! I'm into my last couple of days in Hong Kong before I head back to Canada, where Tomica diecast is virtually non-existent.

 Today I made one final stop into Wan Chai, specifically Tai Yuen street to pick up a few more cheap Tomicas. I revisited Hung Hing toys and saw that they had the latest 2019 Hot Wheels lineup of cars. They've also got the Team Transport sets for between $149 and $169 HKD. Oh I did find an old 30th Anniversary Celica 4 car set, and it was only $89 HKD. I almost bought it except I noticed the chrome on one of the cars front wheel was gone, and another car looked like there was a spot of rust forming on the door. It was hard to tell if this package was brand new or not, but I decided to give it a pass. No regrets.



 The only cheap Tomicas I got from Hung Hing this trip was a Toyota Corolla Axio #27 in blister pack for $20 HKD.


And this unmarked Subaru police car #52 for $25 HKD.




 Across the street from Hung Hing Toys is another toy store that carries Tomica, they are called Yat Sing Toys. They carry later models of Tomicas at the $30 to $35 HKD price point. Their Tomica and diecast selection is nowhere near Hung Hing, but I did manage to find the Asia Special cars. I got Datsun Go AS-02 and the Honda BRIO AS-03, both for $20 HKD.

The next time I post, it will be back in Canada, probably in a week or two.  I'll unbox and take lots of pictures of all the cars I got.   Check back then!
