Our team at Joujou + Shugi hadn't been having good night sleeps especially when our inaugural event is about to happen this coming weekend. Just recently, we received pleasant replies from toy shops such as XL-Shop, Dreamz Toy and E-Toyz as well as BrickGamers. I have previously written emails to practically all the toy shops I can manage to get hold of and told them about my little idea of running a toys market in the big city of Kuala Lumpur. It is indeed challenging (challenging, because there's nothing like a seriously toys + collectibles market around for serious collectors and we gotta start from scratch). XL-Shop, Dreamz Toy, E-Toyz and BrickGamers are few of the people who responded to our proposal. We will probably have something exciting lining up for toy collectors next year.
And hey, Brickgamers has written about us in their blog: http://brickgamers.blogspot.com/2008/11/toys-flea-market.html BrickGamers was featured in GameAxis Unwired in 2006 and gradually became popularly known as the LEGO community. Today they continue the success online with a forum, a blog and original series of LEGO comics.
We thank BrickGamers for the event coverage and like BrickGamers, we too are not sure whether they'd be people selling LEGO at ARTrage Lab Soho KL on 29 + 30 Nov 08. With this toys market being a monthly event, it might turn into a popular spot in the Klang Valley to both buy and sell not just LEGO but other kinds of toys too!
Make a date with us! ARTrage Lab @ Soho KL 2 Jalan Solaris, Mont Kiara, 50480 KL. 29 & 30 November 2008 2:00pm - 9:00pm (Location map here: http://www.sohokl.com/images/map.htm)
Q-1: What happens if I pull out on the event day itself? Can I have my refund or bring forward to the next month? In this case there will be a penalty of RM50 against the vendor. The other half balance can be either refunded or brought forward to the next flea market installment.
Q-2: What is provided? As a Vendor, you will be provided with a space area of 8ft x 6ft including one table (3ft x 3ft), 2 chairs, table cloth and floor carpeting. There will be no power point supply available at the premise for Vendors until further notice.
Q-3: Do I get to choose my own spot? No. Booth allocation will be based on the Ballot Draw. More information regarding balloting for stalls will be provided upon acceptance of your Vendors Form.
Q-4: Can I pay up on the day itself? No. We prefer your kind co-operation in making advance payment (bank-in or online transfer). Advancing your payment has its advantage such as your space is being confirmed immediately.
Q-5: What can I sell? Toys, collectibles, dolls, handicraft, cupcakes, finger foods and fashion accessories. Branded, generic and trader’s own personal collection. Anything goes except for imitations, pornographic or political materials. The organiser reserves the right to refuse or limit product/service to be sold.
Q-6: Can I bring my own props? Yes, you can bring in your own clothes racks, shelf display, etc to decorate your stall (except for tables and chairs).
Q-7: Can I cancel my booking after I paid up? It's ok to change your mind. You can cancel your booking 7 days prior to the event date that you are supposed to attend. However, last minute cancellation is not encouraged at all.
Q-8: Where can I get more information? From the blog or you can email Ms. Vi at joujouandshugi@gmail.com if you have further enquiries.

The Joujou & Shugi Creative Flea Market is open to anyone who is seriously and optimistically thinking about doing a 'flea' business. Flea markets are favourable among newcomers and seasoned flea market traders mostly because of the low rental and minimal setup with a return of medium-to-high crowd exposure. Nevertheless, we merely provide a space for you to promote your creativity. A space for you to explore a different crowd in a different place at different times. But we do not guarantee sales. It's the show-it-all, do-it-all attitude that you must have in order to install interest in the public towards your products. If you think it's worth the investment in our creative flea market, then we warmly welcome you! Think opportunity. Open up to all possibilities.
