China Square Central Flea Market on Sunday (May 24)
China Square Central [www / affectionately known to locals as "CSC"] is a hub of activity come Sundays, with their weekly Flea Market in operation - makeshift tables adding to the existing shop-fronts on the second floor (as well as ground level, not snapped here tho :p). One of the larger (if not largest) hub of toys gathered in a single-locale on an average Sunday - with a hoshposh mixture of toys, collectibles, retro-memorabilia and other nicknacks like apparels and jewelry. (FYI: Most of the "permanent" shops came here enmass from the good old days of "Clarke Quay Flea Market".)
A fav weekend haunt in the past, though I've not set foot in the mall for months now. (The temptation to spend is strong LOL). A chill-out Sunday it had been today, with a smattering of snaps to give you an idea of what's the scene like on a typical Sunday. Tis a locale that warrants a visit (for toys) if ever anyone drops by Singapore, IMHO. Heartly Recommended!
Disclaimer: Do forgive my blurry pics - will attempt to take better ones - hopefully in the near future - and hopefully not have too many folks staring back at me in the camera (as if I'm a "spy" - pretty uncomfortable a feeling, I might add).

["Ng's Collection" has a sweet selection of Japanese toys, gashapons etc]

This was a video I filmed and made circa 2006 [blogged]:
...Not much has changed, I reckon :)
