Game and toy lovers across Singapore may recognise these store names: Simply Toys, Otaku House, and Toy or Game/Comic Connection. In a recent visit to Dhoby Ghaut's Plaza Singapura, I began wondering: "How did these stores start up and how did they get to where they are today?" So I decided to take a short dive into some of our local toy stores to see if I could find more info on their humble beginnings and journey.
