Update : Figure Hunting

I've been back for a week now. I've managed to visit most of the shops other Brunei toy bloggers have mentioned in the past. So far I'm impressed and appalled at the same time. The selection is growing because 2 years ago they weren't any Star Wars figures sold anywhere. It was as if it was unheard of. Now, Hua Ho, Bebeland, Chong Hock and GoFi6ures are selling them.

The price on the other hand, let's just say some shops need to check with each other what the price range should be. If you're going to compete with each other, a $2 price difference is somewhat pushing it. A $5 - $7 difference? You should be shot out of a canon into an active volcano which just erupted. I'm guessing some shops still feel they can get away with it because they assume toy collectors don't talk to each other?

If you're going to be serious about supplying toy collectors then act serious. We know it's the norm for you to jump on the bandwagon because action figures are the 'in' thing at the moment. But at least do some research. If the boxes are starting to gather dust...it could be a). you're shop is dirty and you're staff is lazy to dust the place OR b). It's been there for quite some time because nobody wants to buy it due to the price.

And lastly to some of the shops(you know who you are), LABEL the prices of the Goddamn toys properly! Enough ranting...Its good to be back in Brunei!!
