Cybertroncon Shanghai – Fortress Maximus

Posted on August 3, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

You’ll be seeing a few posts over the coming weeks from my first ever Transformers Convention – Cybertroncon which took place in Shanghai from the 29th to 31st of July. To start it off we’re going to talk about a rather large display of a Transformer known as Fortress Maximus (or Fort Max for short) … Continue reading →

Pokemon Go.. OH NO!

Pokemon Go.. OH NO!

Posted on July 27, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

Pokemon Go came out in Hong Kong on Monday. Just over 48 hours later and the city seems to have gone MAD! As I wander around my local neighbourhood doing my regular everyday things hordes of people, often grouped together walk along blindly, eyes down, swiping on their phones, suddenly stopping, swiping some more. “Yeah … Continue reading →

3 Eras, One Photo – Life in Hong Kong

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

Hong Kong is a city of continual change. Often that change leaves behind little of what came before. Sometimes however rare and unusual gems of a city past can find a new leash on life and a path to preservation. Here I give you one such example I photographed located in To Kwa Wan in … Continue reading →

I’m just a JAFA… but I miss those Cones… #Auckland

Posted on July 17, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

I grew up in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. It’s located on the North Island and one of the main international landing points for those venturing to New Zealand’s humble shores. Before I go on you’re probably thinking “What on earth is a JAFA?” Well technically I am, and anyone else who grew up … Continue reading →

Test Driving Combiner Wars Computron

Posted on July 12, 2016 by Lisamaree • 1 Comment

Hasbro isn’t releasing this guy until late August but thanks to the Hasbro Hong Kong trial event my daughter and I got to play with Computron in hand. My son has been asking about a Computron figure for a very long time. In the G1 cartoon Computron (made up of a group of Transformers called the … Continue reading →

Up on The Peak…

Posted on July 10, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

Here is a view several million tourists a year snap of Hong Kong… It’s what you see when you venture up to the Peak on Hong Kong Island and look back down towards the CBD (Central). The buildings in the foreground are mostly apartment blocks. Just behind them are the office towers of Central and Admiralty … Continue reading →

Life without an oven…

Posted on July 9, 2016 by Lisamaree • 1 Comment

Not all apartments in Hong Kong have ovens. In fact, often they are a luxury only included in newer developments or renovated apartments. Many families in Hong Kong get by with just a stove top burner. Three years ago we moved to our current apartment and one of the sacrifices I made was no longer having … Continue reading →

Hong Kong Titans Return Trial and Play Event 2016

Posted on July 2, 2016 by Lisamaree • 2 Comments

I got the privileged opportunity to participate in the Hasbro Hong Kong Trial and Play Event hosted at Hobbybase in Mong Kok on the 23rd June 2016. I say privileged as it was an invite only event and as the only female non-Chinese collector in Hong Kong I was honoured to be invited. It is … Continue reading →

Images of Hong Kong: Out My Window…

Posted on June 14, 2016 by Lisamaree • Leave a comment

We can’t afford a big fancy apartment in an affluent area but one thing I do have is a view of Victoria Harbour out my lounge room window. It’s an ever changing portrait of chaos, serenity, action and intrigue. From time to time I look out and see an image that just leaves me breathless. … Continue reading →

Toy Hunting in Taipei, Taiwan for Transformers

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Lisamaree • 1 Comment

I know how lucky I am to live in a city abundant in relatively easy access to toys, especially for collectors. However it isn’t the only place in Asia renown for toys. So when the opportunity arises (especially if I am away without the sprogs) I love to go on the hunt in other cities … Continue reading →
