Business turns into hunting trip.. in Jakarta

I was away again for a business trip to Jakarta last weekend.
It was a short trip and the meeting ended up early, and I decided to run around Jakarta mall..
Just wanted to check out whats good, available and offers they have around here.
And to my surprised, they do have much more stuff which Malaysian market have to offer.
Probably due to the buying power which our Asian counterpart has, and in which Malaysian probably just deep into a single brand..
Anyway, check out the pictures below..
Probably some guidelines and tips on what to expect during visit to the country..

First visit, a hypermarket in Jakarta Central..

Old waves of Matchboxes are still available, but none of the interest. 


Various Hot Wheels product on the pegs.
Nice 3packs they have there, but not with the S2000 variant wheels.


Some 8packs available.
Malaysia used to have these, but all gone now..


These would be a hit in Malaysia.. 


Catalogue books. Book 1 and 2.
Wonder why aren't these available here..


These are quite nice.
Not original Hot Wheels but its connectable and stackable. and cheap.


Hotboxes on display.

 


Another pit stop in Jakarta Central.
One of the largest Toy Chain Shop in Jakarta.


Tomica Cool Drive series.



Hot Wheels 5packs which are available.


More HotBoxes with various cars selection.



Very cool Transporter for Hot Wheels.



Another pit stop. and another largest group of Toy Chain Store in Jakarta.


Still some cool stuff available.


More Hot Wheels 5packs and the Hot Wheels and connective box available.


I just love the track setup here..
Wish I can do this back home..


More Hot Wheels peg warmers available. 
And the pegs are all full.
This could take a while for them to restock.

Shucks that they would not let me photographed what is available and I respect them for it.
Do drop by here if you are into 1:43, 1:18 and 1:8 scale products, but do leave you money and cards at home.. to avoid accidental purchased..

Maisto bigger scale selections.


Really need this at home.
What a cool garage to have, but freaking pricey, and it is huge..


They even have the Lego sets on display which is very impressive.


Simple but soooo cool.


More close-up from the side.


This is pretty decent setup for a shop.


How cool to have this track setup for kids to play.
AMAZING.


Some RMZ selections.


More Hot Wheels peg warmers..


These are what I bought during the running around Jakarta.


More stuff purchased.


Couldn't leave these discounted item left on pegs.


More stuff purchased.
How did I manage to fit all these in a single luggage bag?

FYI, I didn't buy all of those for myself, some are for friends back home.
Overall, the running around was kinda tiring with the traffics and all, but it was fruitful.
Might make another trip to Jakarta, but not so soon..
Hopefully the next trip has much to offer.

Cheers.
