There are a few shops about :

1) The Orchard Store, located in The Specialist Shopping Centre on Orchard Rd.

2) Central Hobbies ,located in Centrepoint Shopping Centre.diagonally opposite Specialist Shopping Centre.

3) Nikko,located at Plaza Singapura and Suntec City.They also have a branch at Changi Airport inside Terminal One.

4) Hobby Focus,located at the Far East Shopping Centre on Scotts Rd

The prices are roughly all the same,depends on what you`re after.If you want the rarer models then you should visit Orchard Store.

Hope the listings help you....

Yep, that's about all the shops you've got. When're you coming down to Singapore? Do drop me an email if you need a guide to do some model shopping!

Oh,I also forgot to include this other store along Orchard Rd. Toykar....this shop located in the basement floor at Forum Shopping Centre (building next to Hard Rock Cafe). They deal mainly in Herpa and some DW along with remote controlled cars.
