My history of toy collecting and buying really began when I made my trips to Singapore over 10 years ago when there were bustling toy shops over at Clarke Quay.
Sadly however, when I came back to Singapore in Sep 2015 I have discovered that most of the toy shops in CSC have closed down – except for a few like Vincent’s, Simply toys, Toy Outpost with a few branches and Toys or Games (ToG). Old standouts like U-Toys and a few others were completely gone.
This followed the closedown of Uncle Ng 2 years back - in its place now is a medical centre in CSC.
I discussed this with Valkyrie76 who's also discovered the same.
Any idea on why they’ve closed down? Please post with comments if you know the circumstances or were there just before they closed down etc I'd really like to know.
