The first in line, Steve Mok, 18, arrived at 5am at the Convention and Exhibition Centre. He said this was the third year he had been at the front of the queue.

By 4pm, more than 100 game and comics fans had joined him.

'Last year I came two days before the fair started but realised it was too early, so I came in this morning at 5am,' said Mr Mok, who works at a comics publishing company.

He had made all the preparations needed for a long night waiting in line. 'I have already taken a shower and I have brought my PSP [PlayStation Portable] with me.'

A major attraction is expected to be a limited edition of toy figures based on the popular Storm Riders comic series. Each set is priced at HK$1,288.

Mr Mok said he was going to the fair to ensure he could get one.
