Toy Story - Vintage Nostalgia

The common perception people have when they see toys is that they’re meant for children. But adults find appeal in them, too. Maybe not to play with, but to collect. That's what happened to John Koay, a man who has collected over 10,000 toys, worth more than half a million ringgit. We went to his toy sanctuary to have a look at some of his vintage collections, and discuss how sentimentality is the best way to indulge the kid in you.

John Koay largely buys and sells his toys on Mudah.my, a few of his toys are on sale here:
