Long queues snaked outside the Convention and Exhibition Centre on Friday as enthusiasts vied to be the first to enter Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong 2024 on its opening day.
Student Tao Tsun-wang secured the first spot in line after arriving at 9am.
“I expected lots of people to queue up this year, so I came extra early,” the 16-year-old said.
Tao said he hoped to buy “blind boxes”, popular sealed packages that contain collectible goods, of the anime franchise Muse.
