Hey all,
I was in Shenzhen today, just across the border from Hong Kong.. went back to the massive Dimension no.9 arcade centre.
Here is my original thread on that centre and how to get there:
https://www.reddit.com/r/KamenRider/comments/1ua4bnv/toku_toy_heaven/
There is a new 55th anniversary Rider display on the ground floor where they hold some events.. not sure when the KR thing is being held, this display wasn't here when I went there a few weeks ago.
There's also a KR video game machine next to it - no idea how to play it, but I have seen them in other arcade centres in Shenzhen.. arcades there span several floors and absolutely huge.
A lot of new pop-up shops and stalls on different floors now, again, wasn't there when I went last time.
PHOTOS:
there is a big shop opposite the KR display that sells a lot of exclusive Rider stuff, they have apparel, toys, stationary, keychains, etc.
The 6th and 9th photo of the blocky 3d keychains are really cool, they are randomly drawn inside blind packages (blind boxes). Photo 3, 4, 5 is all Rider stuff, rest of the items in the store are anime. This stuff is not available in HK, only for mainland market it seems.
Really too much stuff here to take photos of, best to go there yourself and check it out. Also, hit up BIT CITY located at convention and exhibition centre if you're there - there's a place with a several hundred gacha machines over there if you're into those. Dimension building also has tons of gashapon machines, and a official Bandai gacha shop. Basement floor has many claw machines and amusement centres for kids.
I took a lot of photos.. will post the rest in the comments section with some added captions.
Address: Xinbaima Dimension No. 9, 新白馬 次元 9號 Old street 老街, Shenzhen, China.
PS
the massive ACG ANI-COM anime, cosplay, toy fair is on this Friday in HK if anyone is here.
It runs for 5 days.. Bandai, Tamashi, Hot Toys, PlayStation, etc. will be there again, always a ton of tokusatsu toys there. Recommend going on Friday, Monday, or Tuesday.. avoid weekend, esp. Sunday - you will be in the queue for a few hours at least. I will post a thread for it after it's over.
Ok, here we go..
