Latest Acquistions - Nov 21, 2018

I discovered the HMV in MongKok by mistake.   I was just wandering around the MongKok MTR station and found this mall called The Forest closeby.   On the upper level, I could see there was an HMV store.  I wasn't expecting to find anything, was just curious to check out the store since all of the HMVs in Canada have pretty much gone away. 

When I got off the escalator, I found that there was actually two parts to the store.   On one side was the media like DVDs and CDs.  On the other side they had pop culture stuff like Tshirts, Marvel, Disney items.   In the middle of it all. I saw a Tomica display.   Best of all there was a 25% off sale going on.  The basic Tomicas were priced at $39 HKD, but with the 25% off discount this came to $30.  They had about a quarter of the full lineup, but they were the latest models.



Here's what I got:

#78 Subaru Levorg (blue), issued in 2015, scale is 1/65.

#93 Nissan Leaf (white, with blue roof), issued in 2017, scale is 1/63.

My total cost for today was $60 HKD for the 2 cars.
There's only 4 or 5 HMV stores in Hong Kong, so if I get a chance I try to visit some of the other stores and see if they have a different selection of cars. 

$30 HKD = $3.80 USD or $5.10 CAD.
