Just before shopping for Christmas, I would like to know what are your favourite toy stores except from Toysrus I already know by heart ;)
Thanks for your ideas.
 
Shopping online this year from amazon.com

If you do it now (25-27 nov) it's the biggest "black Friday sale" on some U.S. sites
 
wisekids, bumps to bases and haba (hopewell center / lee plaza) for variety and some really good toys. as carang says - they are expensive
 
The problem with Amazon is that only a few products are delivered to HK and you know that only in the very last steps of your order :( or may be I was very unlucky last year. Otherwise great choice indeed.
 
I like the toy section at our nearby City Store. I also like Wise Kids in Causeway Bay for well-made instruments and wooden toys. I've found some nice durable wooden toys at Eugene Club recently that weren't that expensive. I like Commercial Press for getting on-sale children's books although their selection is often not very big. I shop at Toys R Us once in awhile and like to get puzzles from there and other small gifts. We went to Toy Club last night in On Hing house in Central last night to pick up a pinata for my son's birthday and they have some interesting toys--a lot of selection I haven't seen elsewhere.
 
as with everything else in hk, you have to know your prices (and what is available where).... for some things, toys'r'us is ok (but generally, i don't like their quality). for some things b2b is better. for others toys club....


you are talking to someone who spends over $30,000HKD/year on toys...sometimes more....if you include the two centres and my own kids!

Yes, it's called comparison shopping. Actually, at Toys Club, the section I really liked was the "gag toy" or small gift section as they had like mini toys for about 15 HKD--they are at least 20-40 HKD at Toys R Us and there was a lot more selection. For example, I bought my son a cute little magnet set, some silly frogs that stick to things and a flashlight you can use to project animal pictures on a wall (that was about 25-30 HKD) and all were decent quality--actually better quality than Toys R Us offers. Would be a great place to buy "stocking stuffers" for Christmas, I think. But, for bigger toys I would probably not be buying them there.

If you have a specific toy in mind, it's a good idea to call around and compare prices.
