Weekend trip to the retail malls - part 1

January 26, 2008 | By Juliana Heng In Toy observations |

The weekend’s here once more and shortly, I will be going out to stock up on my basic necessities.  I will also be heading down to Orchard Road to check out the newest toy stocks in the retail malls.  Economic slowdown is already looming in Asia but it usually does not deter the ‘rapid growth’ toy collectors much.  I have long passed the ‘rapid growth’ stage but since I have developed this habit of always checking out the toy departments whenever I visit shopping malls, it has become a kind of second nature to me.

In Singapore, most retail stores bring in new toy stocks on a weekly basis.  Hence I usually use the weekends to check out their latest toys.  I normally check out the My Little Pony, Justice League, Transformers and the model toy cars (E.g. Bburago) sections.  As many of the major departmental stores are located along Orchard Road, it makes my almost weekly ‘inspection trips’ much more convenient. 

Come back again tomorrow to read the updates of my weekend toy trip.
