G-System Shops of Mong Kok, Hong Kong

It's better in HIGH QUALITY!!! (Shot on my CoolPix digicam, so it's not great quality to begin with...had to be stealthy since no cameras are allowed in the shops :))

Hey Guys! It's been quite a while, I know. But I've been finishing up my term here at CUHK in Hong Kong. Anyway, I've go a sweet vid to show you guys; a tour of the hobby shops of Mong Kok, HK! If you're familiar with resin kits at all, you'll know that Hong Kong is famous for its modeling. Some shops I visit have sites such as g-system-shop.com, g-system-best.com, g-system-model.com, akocreations.com, and SMS modeling. Also, remember to comment on what kits you want for X-Mas and what you think I got from G-sytem! Have a great winter break guys!

Haha, finished this at 3 am,...forgot the link

Thanks for the informative review! It helps as I might be visiting Hong Kong in the near future. What G-System resin kit I wish I could have? Their 1/48 Nu-Gundam (Gundam Evolved Version). Alas, it is like $600 something USD. Are they much cheaper to buy in Hong Kong? Grats on affording a G-System kit of your own!

@kwmkc13 Thanks! And yes, it is cheaper there! But it's relative--you're doing the shipping yourself if you're bringing it home with you. Otherwise, if you send it by mail, it might come out to the same price as buying it in the states haha. Good choice with the Evolved! It looks so awesome in person :)

hay is there a diffrents from model kits and Resin Kit? are resin kit better or what?

[Jameson171]

the difference between resin and plastic injected kits (what bandai has) is just material. it's like apples and oranges; both are fruit (someone else correct me if im wrong )

the reason you see resin kits is because they're more convenient to mold; as for being "better" it depends on the artist, but imo resin kits are a lot cooler than the plan ole bandai stuff. check out the sites i listed in the vid and you can see for yourself :)

Which g-system kit did you get?

[mellong64]

Nice Video. I live and work in Hong Kong and frequent Mong Kok and I'm a very amateur gunpla builder. I've only visited what I've found in MK by walking around and finding stuff but going to check these places out today. I.T akocreations is gone though. Now that shop in the Yan On centre sells surplus stock toys. Good for a bargain or two but mostly kids stuff. I stumbled upon the g-system place last week, without knowing of g-system and it's awesome! A pretty sight to see indeed.

J.BO Hobby is the best store ever :D

Been their creations are amazing and the model kits are so cheap, I got my MG The O there for around 600 HKD, and the shop keeper was a nice person

@Gomenchaiii I've been busy and got sidetracked, but I should have a video out by the end of September. I'm also having equipment issues so that might delay the vid...but it'll hopefully be a nice informative video when I get it done.

@Jameson171 lol I see. Very informative videos you have btw! Will we see more in the future? It's been 8 months since your last video. ^_^
