It's been ages since my last visit to Daiso and to be honest, there is nothing much for me there, apart from the usual neodymium magnets and those cute cotton buds with pointed tips. Long ago, going to DAISO means discovering new things and exciting adventures ling ahead. At that time, the price was just RM5.00 per item which you'd have no issue grabbing stuff left, right and centre (until you start paying at the Counter and came off at least RM1xx poorer). There are so many cute torch lights, keychains, notebooks, etc. Even if you had one in your house, the ones in Daiso is a must have.
Years later, I really have to find an excuse to go there. Their prices have risen to RM5.90 for basic items and as far as I know, it is still on cash terms. I could be wrong on this part but after the Pandemic, the idea of using (possibly contaminated) paper/ plastic notes can be quite repulsive.
Oh, the adventure part? That's when you discover that not all Outlets have the specific items you need. And this is where you start to plan your next Journey or Family Shopping trips for the next nearest Daiso and hope they have what you're looking for.
I have known Daiso to cater for the normal Family items and never for the Scale Model genre. The last I've heard was more than a decade ago when they have transparent boxes for mini collectable figures. This time, this time it was different. I have heard bits of news that they have some items for the 1/12 Figures and for Mechas. The closest Daiso for me was at Puchong's IOI Mall...
