Ying Hobbies & Toys

I work in the area and frequent the store. The guy is very relaxed but helpful. He’ll leave you be to peruse his selection but will give good info and suggestions if you ask him questions. The prices appear to be a bit high but that’s before the discount. 2 years and still has a 20% off on all Gundam kits. Now, he won’t have all the kits you would be looking for (rare ones) but it’s tough to NOT find something here to build. He also has some tools, paint, markers, and accessories for the kits. A bookshelf with DVD’s in HK cinema seems to be the norm for the area. I sugest checking this place out, if for nothing else than to see his magnificent works on display.

This place is not closed. As of 4−6−16 it’s still open.
Only place is the area with a large selection of Gundam everything. The place is a hole in the wall so you’ll really have to look for it to find it.
I have purchased various gundams from them in the past and it’s the only brick and mortal gundam shop I got consistently. Worth the trip to go (plus it’s in chinatown and who doesn’t like chinatown?!) It is drivable because there is a large underground parking garage right by it.
the staff let’s you do your own thing but will answer questions, you’ll just have to be the first the ask.
Go check it out if you like your gundam.

I’ve been going here since the other shop has closed. The guy that took over is pretty nice and helpful with tips for Gundam modelling. The only thing that kinda of sucks is the prices, they are not really competitive compared to Amazon or Tatsu hobby. However they do have a good selection and great for instant gratification. I would recommend checKing in out if you in SF

Did not expect to find this while wandering through Chinatown trying to find somewhere to eat.
We had headed to Z & Y to get my friends some Szechuan, but it was a mad house. On the way to Penang Garden, we went down Wentworth Place, a do nothing alley except for Ying Hobbies & Toys. My friends graciously let me go in, and wow!
In the window you’ll see some impressive Gundam figures in the window, ranging in sizes and styles (1/​60, 1/​100, 1/​144, Super Deformed), they had Dragon Ball figures (original, Z), and even Transformers. They had model kits, pre-​built models, in package figures, and plenty of DVDs.
The thing that really makes this place stand out is the detailing work the owner does to some figures. I saw him customizing Transformers, giving them drybrushing applications to make them look battle damaged and worn. I had never even though of doing that.
I didn’t have the budget to buy something here this week, but I will gladly return once I’ve saved for it. And if I want a specific kit, will purchase it through them.

Always went to this place when they had more than 1 location. The current store don’t have as much selections as they used to, but it’s still better than nothing. They always keep up with the latest kits !! I still never knew the owners name but I know he give good advices to anyone who’s struggling to build a model kit. Overall, it’s the best Gundam store to go to !!

GUNDAM NERDS REJOICE!
This place is magnificent! Hidden in Chinatown on one of those alley streets that no one likes to drive down is Yings.
Right off the bat, they have a bunch of gundams on display in the window. The shop is small but PACKED full of all the models you can think of. I came in right on time during New Years so I ended up getting what I wanted for under $ 30!
The worker there was sweet and showed me the model he’s currently working on which was propped up drying from a recent page job.
I don’t think I’ll be buying anything off of amazon anymore. This place is totally worth the drive.

I remember I went to this hobby store many years ago at there old location & never got a chance to go back. I went there again a few months back & always go now. Tony always does his best to get the newest kits in stock. I’ve lost count of the kits I’ve bought so far but my latest haul was the mg build strike hg build burning & hg lighting gundams. I was thinking I would have to wait more time for those kits to become available state side. If your looking for Gundam kits at good prices come here!
