Popular website<\/a>. Chuang Yi mangas are also available at Page One (though they sell some titles at SG$8.30 and some at the usual price of SG$7.90).<\/p>\nWhen I was still in the Philippines and later on in Melbourne, I used to lurk at Yahoo!Auctions Singapore. That’s where I got a great bargain for some of the special edition dolls in my collection. I met up with one of the sellers last Sunday, and he requested we meet up at the China Square Central. I was sure glad he did (and understood why he wanted to meet up there) because there’s a LOT of hobby and specialty toy shops inside. Apart from that, there’s a weekend flea market where some people are selling from their private collection. Pinky Street dolls can range from SG$15-SG$25. I was also happy because in one store, I stumbled upon a 2nd hand (good condition) copy of Sarah McDonald’s Holy Cow! selling for only SG$10. To get to China Square Central, you can get off either at either the Raffles Place or Chinatown MRT. There’s a bit of a walk involved though, so better bring some water or umbrella.<\/p>\n
The store I went to this afternoon (and where I eventually bought my Pinkies) was at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Foolishly, I set off this morning without checking the name of the store I’m supposed to go to. Good thing the store had an advertisement by the escalators, because you won’t see it if you’re just wandering around the mall. Hobby Point is located at the 5th level, accessible only by the elevator. Regular release Pinkies are sold for SG$11.90, Range Murata and Wild Arms Pinkies for SG$19.90. They also have a stock of Pinky markers, the set selling for SG$24.90 (I think). Like most hobby stores, they also carry a wide range of collectible model figures and accessories.<\/p>\n
With eight volumes of Ouran High Host Club and eleven Pinkies now in my possession, my only concern now is how to fit them all in my already bulging (and overweight) luggage. That and whether I should buy more.<\/p>\n
