I'm planning on a trip to Taiwan and am wondering what the offerings are there for shops and a possible trip to AFV Club HQ if possible. Any plastic benders/glue sniffers got the gouge so I can really irritate the Missus and bring home a suitcase full like I did on my trip to the Tamiya shop in Tokyo? Thanks!!!

Wan Nian Building in XiMenDing. It's a 5 min. walk from the subway.

Thanks Bryan! Does AFV Club have a shop like Tamiya does in Tokyo?

Not that I know of. You could try checking their facebook fanpage.

If you are also into Japanese sci-fi, the Taipei Underground Mall is a good hunting place.

2 more hobby shops recommended by other modelers. However I didn't get a chance to visit these 2 shops while I was in Taipei.

Not affiliated to AFV Club, they are somewhere near Taipei 101

MPK Model
No. 311, Yanping North Sec 5, Taipei

Their website is down.
