hitmanNo2 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 It seems the rumours of the death of eHobby Asia are greatly exaggerated. It appears eHobby Asia is not closing up shop as initially suspected, just focusing on 100% online sales rather than having a walk in shop due to expensive rent. So we just need to wait for them to make an announcement, rejig their site and acquire some stock and we're good to go again. Sad to see a loss of a walk in HK shop but at least they'll be online.

aznriptide859 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Really need to redo the site, their search function was pretty terrible. Glad to hear they’re still alive though. Link to post Share on other sites

Batmause Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 It was so nice good deal on their shop during the sales. I ordered 10times more during these months as all time. Anyways, I think they will close shortly. Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Not the rent alone but the whole environment in HK, generally speaking everyone's struggling just to stay alive Back on eH, I think I can say I saw it coming They moved out of the mall due to ridiculous increase of rent, now there is a ghost mall LOL!!! New shop was inside a industrial building - where technically you do retail there, but arrange pick-ups are fine (wink wink), yet they still did full retail service in there. Somehow got reported to the officials and they opened a tiny retail store nearby, in a hurry, which is physically impossible to shop in, and, if you purchase something you need to wait the staff bring the goods from the original shop (now warehouse) across the street. On top of that, the shop closes relatively early around 1900~1930 considering the new location not as convenient as the mall before. Meanwhile they acquired 5.11 franchise and opened a megastore in TST-East, where no one wants to shop there, nor 5.11 being very popular recently, people either buy better or cheaper stuff, some even rip-offs. ......... And, yeah, the search function on their website is so bad that they deserve to go down for just that alone Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be interesting to see what does get restocked now, seems as if a lot of what they had listed pre-clearance was discontinued by the manufacturer anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 After the search function broke I tried browsing the categories instead but that doesn't work either because they tag the products and group them by using the search function or something... Click one category and filter things, expect one result, get something completely different... 😐 Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I for one will be hoping they get back on point, the manager and staff of the retail shop were very polite and helpful. Much better than some of the other sour faced offerings in MK...no names mentioned...*cough Den Trinity cough* Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 In case anyone is still interested, slow trickle of new stock available on their website now. It's a faint pulse but still alive nevertheless. Link to post Share on other sites
