Chapter 43: What Have These Eyes Seen...?

These few days, I have seen a few interesting things. Well, at least interesting enough to write home about. Just yesterday, there was a gundam exhibition with plenty of interesting model kits (You know, those miniature model kits of mobile mecha suits in the extremely long history of animation series?).

I took a few photgraphs here and there, since even I could not resist from the sight of such perfect and fascinating displays, despite my relative inexperience and lack of knowledge on the series. Too bad I cannot, and probably will not upload any of them (It's a thing of mine, blogsite's policy). If it is still open though, and you happen to be in the area, make your way down to Compasspoint (I believe that is the name of the place in Singapore?).

Check out the huge Strike Freedom over there, and along with the gundam's version of the well-known story of the 'Thrre Kingdoms', and the sneak peeks of prototypes... Oh, just check everything there out.

Besides that, I also spotted a few interesting places, which I believe to be at the top floor of a building known as Plaza Singapura.

For one thing, there was a special outlet known as 'Toy Outpost', and I quite like their idea. It's very intriguing, and allows you to not only browse and purchase items, but also allow you to rent a display locker for as low as $1.95 a day (maybe $60 a month), with some conditions though, to display and sell your own interesting items.

Such items can be vintage and also the latest modern toys, collectibles such as trading cards and lighters and other things, though I might not know the limitations as I have never tried it myself.

Besides being a great place to find rare items, this idea lets you experience what it is like to be the boss of your own 'little business'. But why not let you drop by and experience these wonders for yourself?

If you happen to be there, there is another place that sells great (may actually working) guns, swords and amours of all kinds. I simply viewed them, since their price is kind of out of my reach. But, from what I had seen, they had not only really old specimens, but also really cool replicas of items you may have seen in animations and manga, or other media. This I have got to reccomend.

All in all, I have had quite an experience around these places. But, like I mentioned earlier, it might be worth your while to experience them for yourself.

Until then.
