Hello, this is Andrew from Hong Kong, and this is my very first post on OCD community, nice to meet all of you here 😃

Well, I am just the very ordinary boy born in 1980's in Hong Kong, I don't have a super rich parents but my dad did buy me some toys, especially the robot figures for me when I was small, he did also buy me the video console as well, and I was very addicted to the video console either.

When I getting older, I don't play the video console as much as I did, I  stopped playing them when I was 16 but I was still very into the robot figure and I still bought some robot figures occasionally backward.

I would say, I am a super fan on Magic God Hero Legend Wataru, I still remember how sad was I when my mom throw away all my Wataru Robot figures when we needed to move house back in April 1999.

I had a chance to work in a factory at Shenzhen where is making the zinc furniture parts back in 2015, I needed to station in the factory's dormitory during weekday, I always shop on the biggest online shop apps "taobao" for killing time at that time. I suddenly found out that there were some new version of Wataru Robot figures available on the taobao, I didn't hesitate and buy all them items from the online shop, even I resigned from my job in the factory at Shenzhen, I took all my figures back to my home in Hong Kong, but I can't show all the figures to you guys as I put them very well in the cabinet display, I will take them out and take a series of pictures for my robot figures in case my mom asks me to clean the cabinet display later this year 😅

I had no idea what kind of job and what industry is really fit to me, I had been working in many different type of company, say, the factory making melamine kitchen wears, the IT company, the trading company which is selling CNC lathe, but I didn't stay too long on each company until I moved to my current company back in June 2018.

This company is making board games and toys, and I though it's quite interesting to me, maybe I can stay there for longer if they end up hire me. Fortunately my boss gave me a chance to learn from scratch, I have been learning lot of things during this 4 years.

The pictures were taken in our factory in my first visit there, actually my manager and boss never asked me to take such pictures, I was just super curious to know every single procedure on how do we making games and toys, so I took many pictures during my visit in our factory.

The physical board games and toys market are not as good as they did back in 1990's, I don't surprise to seeing the market is becoming smaller and smaller, most of kids are playing game on tablet or smart phone, computer now, these kind of board games are really old school.

But it's funny to know that our sales hit the all time high since the outbreak of the pandemic, maybe it's too boring for the people always stay home playing their phone / tablet that making them want some classic physical games during the lockdown?

We can't tell if our sales can keep such strong momentum as all countries are starting to loose the anti inflection policy, people might no longer need such physical games anymore when their life back to normal.

But for me, I am not planning to change my job in short time, even our old man is going to retire, I probably will move to another toy manufacturer instead of moving to the other industry. Sounds I can't get rid of toys in my life, it's funny.
