Taipei shopping trip Sep 2012: Part 3 (Taipei Main Station Underground / Other Shops)

Part 1 Link
Part 2 Link

Taipei Main Station Underground
Address: Stretch of underground mall on the "Y" section, somewhere between Y18 to Y24
General Directions: Take metro to Taipei Main Station, take exit M1

There are quite a few anime, model shops between the stretch for Y18 to Y24 (takes a bit of walking to get there though).
Mostly small shops except this one shop called Toy Park @ Y22 which has a slightly larger collection.
I bought my Mega size RX78-2 here.






Ji Xing Model Shop (吉欣模型專賣店)

Address: No. 60, Nanning Road, Wanhua District
General Directions: Take metro to Longshan Temple Station, take exit 3, walk towards Nanning Road, it's just around the corner of the road

Saw a few recommendations for this shop online so thought to pop by.
On reaching & viewing the shop, realized that it's more for military related models (planes, tanks, ships etc) with very small selection of gundams.
Have to say that it was a wasted trip for me as I'm only into Gunpla!


Toy World (Taipei 101)
Address: Taipei 101 Basement 1
General Directions: Take metro to Taipei City Hall Station, take free shuttle bus to get to Taipei 101

Chance upon the shop when I was visiting Taipei 101.
Small collection + quite expensive but there are some displays there for some sightseeing & pictures!
They happen to have on display Saint Seiya clothing (one of my favorite comics when I was young) so took some pictures.
