In's Point is located along Nathan Road just north of the Yau Ma Tei MTR Station that is a hub for toy collectibles. Here you will find an old commercial building with two floors filled with arcade sized shops dealing in speciality Lego sets, figurines, models and other interesting collectibles.
Shops open from around noon each day until late. It can get a bit crowded here on weekend afternoons as buyers and admirers browse the little shops and glance through the glass windows in search of specific toys as well as rare and hard to find sets or items to add to their collections. Even if you are not a buyer, this is a neat place to see how far the world of toys has come since you were a little one.

There are two floors and tens of micro stores, most no bigger than a closet that carry every possible LEGO and Anime items known. It can be daunting and crowded, but if you are a Lego or toy enthusiast this is worth the time and effort. Note: most stores only accept cash payment. Also have a list in hand with set numbers.

I don't know how I missed In's Point before in my numerous travels to Hongkong, but I am glad I have found it now and I was surprised how many levels there were.
There are a lot of new toys, kitset models, figures and collectables here. There are toys that are expensive, some cheap, some market price (some do vary from shop to shop), but you don't have to spend money here; many are small second hand toys for by-gone years and hold special nostalgic value and a trip down yesteryear is a treat in itself.
The shops do open quite late in the day, however, time before opening meanswindow shopping. That itself can take hours. I've put three hours for the visit, it's atleast 2 visits and it will be more than three hours total if you want to look at everything.
When shops are open, there is little moving space! Some are 'poke-your-head-in-only' and some are "no turning space: walk-out-backwards". Because there can be a lot of people here, it can get hot, and bring shopping bags or an empty tote; ackpacks get in the way of everyone.

When going to Hong Kong, husband wanted to increase his Star Wars and other collections and read this was the place to do it.
Each little shop you just walked along and poked your head into to see whether they had anything you wanted. This place has everything. And also a great place to leave the hubby and son whilst daughter and I shopped :)
Come after 3pm and bring cash and bargain. Let’s just say we had to buy another suitcase.

Don't waste time buying LEGO from other places. here is the one and only. Hard-to-find sets are easily found here at good price. Kenson's Toy Shop, the first shop you find at the end of the escalator, is very superbly recommended. Don't waste time comparing prices :)

In’s Point, along with Richmond Shopping Arcade are two places packed with all manner of pop culture, anime and collectible figurines.
In’s Point is much larger, huge in fact, with many levels and very wide space, but dense with tiny shops which are themselves dense with toys and collectibles.
This place was absolutely heaving with people when I went, and I get the feeling it’s always like this. As such it may not be the best idea to go with kids, especially if they like to run off to gaze at the next most interesting thing they see, as there’s a lot of that here. If you can keep them close and under control they’ll likely have a blast looking at Lego, Beyblades, Pokemon, and many other favourites.
There are the obligatory busty girl figurines here too so bear that in mind if you want to avert your kid’s innocent eyes :)
I would say this place is fun in small doses, or if you’re looking for something specific. The crowded halls got a bit much for me, but you’re almost bound to find at least one or two things that tickle your fancy.

In's point is amazing. It is filled with hundreds of stores selling figures? Lego, plushies and heaps of other things.
I managed to find re-ment there aswell which was a huge find for me.
Only downside is where I got the re-Ment the guy who was working was awfully rude but this seems to be a regular occurrence in some places in HK.

I never knew of this place until I read the recommendations of Lego collectors in Facebook. They said many shops here sold a very wide range of Lego sets at very reasonable prices, and they were absolutely correct! Thoroughly enjoyed myself the few times I visited (most recent in Jun 17), buying some rare or discontinued sets on the cheap or even just looking at them on display (not enough $).

I'm a huge Lego Star Wars fan. Now that I am a self-sufficient adult I have been picking up retired sets from over the years. As many would know this means many of them don't come cheap and finding a good deal is such a great feeling.
I asked a local friend if he had any recommended spots for me to check out. SERIOUSLY. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.
Based on Singapore prices, I was finding new sets at 30% - 40% cheaper. Older retired sets I got a steal for a mechanical AT-AT that which 40% better priced than what I could find in Singapore.
So this is a 2 storey haven for Lego fanatics. It also has a massive range of anime toys. Many of the shops are pretty small, almost just holes in the wall. One or two medium sized stores.
The biggest advice I can give you is bring a lot cash. Practically none of them take credit card, but if you are buying in bulk cash lets you negotiate further discounts.
Finally, I didn't find language as an issue. All the stores I visited we were able to converse in English.
So don't hesitate, pull up a list of toys, bring cash, and you may just end up needing a new luggage piece as well!

Take Tsing Yi to Lai King station on Tung Chung line (yellow) then change to Tsuen Wan line (red) and take that to Yau Ma Tei station.
In’s Point is about 50m from that station. All up the trip should be about 25-30 mins.
