i'll recommend vincent's toys at china square. good and reasonable. although nowadays i usually do my purchase through online auctions and trusted sellers i met online. -

Haha hers custom, yours Ikea cupboard ah
So they're all placed in the living room?
Actually I also have another display area that is shared with my home entertainment system.... so the fact is, my living room looked kinda like a toy museum.... -
i see. it's always best to examine the toy closely before buying. regardless of whether the shop or seller is trustworthy or not.Originally posted by xShevchenkox:vincent shop is okie...he hav had alot of toys

sometimes if the box looks too old and crumbled it's better to ask for a new one or look elsewhere first. cos i know some shops sells bootleg toys, meaning those fail QC ones, at a lower price. sometimes even at original price.
that's why one must look very closely to spot whether the toy is real or not. -

looks the same as my dear's oneOriginally posted by Gordonator:my glass cabinet from IKEA. only $99 (+$40 delivery).
Bought it for the same price too, but we took it back ourselves. Now the cabinet is also used to display all his toys and my gifts for him.
Maybe later he will come in and put up a pic -

That is why I am toy collector & you are toy lover !Originally posted by Gordonator:true toys lover don't care about their re-sell value. we buy them to play to display them.
i don't care if my toys are valuable or not. toys are meant to be played. not jailed into the box or to make money.
See the different .... !
You take it out an play with you toys - for your own enjoyment.
I keep my toys in their orginial perfect condition - as much as I would like to play with them for my own enjoyment, the joy of sharing with others is greater, that is to let other see and enjoy the toys in their orginial and perfect condition.
Yep sometime a collector may re-sell some toys and do make money out of it ! But the main thing is not the re-selling value - but able to let someone else who love and treasure the toy more have it at the perfect condition.
Also before you go commenting on people jailing their toys - you must understand that for a lot of toy collector their collection is too huge to be displayed. -
Actually those who dunno who are you still dunno who are you.Originally posted by Chin Eng:I don't really wish to be identified... ha ha.
Those who know you and read SGF will already know who is Unker Eng.
