[Guide] 2026 Hong Kong Official Anime Merchandise Buying Guide

Thanks for the compilation! There are really very few options in the New Territories; basically, you have to go into the urban area to buy anything. I hope an Animate opens in Tsuen Wan in the future.

For Gundam models, Hollywood Plaza in Mong Kok has the best selection. There are a few specialty shops that offer discounts all year round.

This guide should be pinned! Many newcomers don't know where to buy genuine products, and end up buying bootlegs without even realizing it.

Such a useful compilation! Adding on: Causeway Bay Animate has a membership system where you can earn points to redeem exclusive items.

It is very important to distinguish between genuine and pirated products at Sino Centre. Here is a simple method: genuine packaging has copyright labels and anti-counterfeiting stickers, and the color and print quality are also better than pirated versions.

Anime-themed cafes sometimes sell limited-edition merchandise; many people don't know this.

Additional info on online shopping: Hobby Search and HobbyLink Japan are both great. They ship directly to HK and their packaging protection is well done.

As a figure photographer, I recommend: AmiAmi's pre-owned section often has opportunities to find treasures, but you have to be quick.

As for purchasing agents, I've bought items for many people. If you're using a forwarding service for Amazon JP, I recommend Buyee; their handling fees are reasonable.
