RE: Big list 'o model shops in Singapore
China Sq is more for ready made toys like Star Wars, Transformers etc.

You could find Armored Core kits there but if you are looking for military and gunpla injection kits, I suggest you look elsewhere.

RE: Big list 'o model shops in Singapore
I go to China Sq (or CSC) almost every Sunday for the flea market. Not much for model kits unless a flea market stall seller decides one day to clear his private stash. I THINK one of the shops on the ground floor is / or used to be Kotobukiya's distributor. This shop holds occasional sales on Sundays and clears their stock of old Koto kits at about 50% discount (eg. the red colour nineball at $50). Other than that most of the other shop owners there are just resellers who are always the first in Q whenever there's a sale at Taka/Metro/OG.

I have lunch there almost every week but I don't remember seeing any hobby shop at IMM. Currently #02-26 occupied Ichiban Sushi.
