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.
I *may* have spent more than intended in Japan for our honeymoon. But to be fair, many of the items I got would have been a lot more expensive in Singapore! And I treasure all the trinkets I got, even those from the Gacha machines!
I got home recently from a back-to-back trip to Bangkok then Kuala Lumpur, for holidaying and Comic Fiesta 2024! Over in Bangkok, 2 venues stood out as must-visit venues if you're in the city as a toy lover. There is a bonus location to check out at the end!
