I do hope to have the full range eventually, it's just what order I buy them in!  
 
I can't do eBay or Amazon. On top of international shipping charges, 30% import duties in the Philippines (which also impacts the prices of new gear in retail shops). I do all my buying in Hong Kong, which is duty free and tax free. Fortunately I get there at least once every two months. (As one example, the price of the X-T2 and kit zoom lens was lower in Hong Kong than the price of the X-T2 alone in Manila.)

Thanks. Hopefully it is just a minor setback.
 
My favorite place to go is a small shopping mall called Sim City. It is on Shantung Street off Nathan Road in Mong Kok. It's a 3 floor mall which, despite the name, is more than 50% camera shops, selling both used and new stuff. On the new stuff, most of the places will have two prices - one for manufacturers warranty and one for grey goods. Be sure to specify which you want. It's also a good place to look for accessories like bags, straps, filters, etc.
 
On Hong Kong Island, I go to the Wanchai Computer Center, which is on Hennessy Road right next to the Wanchai MTR. There are a few camera stores in there, they know me there and it's close to where I live in HK, so I probably go there more often. But Sim City is more fun.
 
If you're buying mainstream stuff (like Fuji) and you want the manufacturers warranty and you already know what you want, you could also go into any of the major electronics shops like Fortress or Broadway. They all charge pretty much the same price. 
 
Check a site called price.com.hk - it's all in Chinese but Google Translate handles it pretty well. You can search for anything there and it will tell you the shops with the best prices for both "water goods" - parallel imports - and "hong goods" - manufacturers warranty. DCFever.com - also all in Chinese - is the mega trading site for used camera gear in HK. I've bought and sold a lot of stuff through that site.

Good point - I've only tried that feature out once or twice so far and need to spend more time with it, thanks.
