“A long time ago in a galaxy far far away…”, the iconic phrase that all Star Wars fans would know. Many of us would have bought one or more Star Wars merchandises and memorabilias over the years. Be it a model Death Stars or a Lego Millennium Falcon, the main issue with them is where best to display them at home. Most of the time, they may just be kept in boxes and get chucked in a corner of the store room. Or be sitting on selves collecting dusts. Today, we found out a practical way for display them while not wasting space at home!

Introducing, the Star Wars Built-in Glass Top Computer Desk by NXND computer! A fully functional desktop build within a fully exposed glass table, this computer is part art and part gaming rig. Powered by AMD Ryzen 1600x processor and PowerColor RX580 Red Devil graphic card, this machine is capable of powering most modern game in high fidelity graphic. The liquid cooling system extends throughout the table is a perfect match for the Star Wars Lego hangar that house two Lego X-Wings. It is the most challenging part of building the rig as it involves laying the pipes in a practical yet aesthetic manner.

According to NXND, this computer desk used to have three 27″ inch screen but now has a single 46″ screen. The 7.1 sound is driven by Yamaha RX-V573, perfect for your movie and game. All in all, the desktop cost around SGD10,000 to build. Not bad consider that it is a functional computer, table and a piece of art that you can enjoy looking at.

Right now, this Computer Desk is with one of the founder of NXND. It’s worthwhile to mention that he has many other Star Wars Lego models that he hangs up around his room for a more complete Star Wars experience. He may soon get a Death Star to further expand his Star Wars themed room. He is also a Gundam fan and plans to have his collection up for display soon. This is truly a man’s cave!

These are toys meant for the big kids. It is very rare for one to find such a full display of figurines at a single place. Our favourite this year is the Shogun Batman which comes with switchable arms.

XM Studio has a long line-up of impressive figurines displayed in the middle of the showfloor. Each item on display is a collectible on it’s own. So while you may not have the money to buy all of them home, you should definitely take as many pictures as you can.

We heard that this could be the last STGCC in Singapore. Next year, the same show will be rebranded as Singapore Comic Con which we thought could be a better name for this event. The event is happening now at Sands Expo from 8 to 9 September 2018.

It is time of the year again for Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention (STGCC),  one of the largest pop culture event in Singapore. Held at the Sands Expo from 8-9 September 2018, this year’s event will be filled with activities ranging from LEGO speed building challenge, to Cosplay Runway and many more! Co-located with STGCC is the Good Game Experience Show dedicated for gamers.

This year, STGCC will be bringing an out-of-this-world LEGO experience to visitors. For Voltron: Defender of the Universe fans, five interactive Voltron-themed lion figurines that can transform into robotic lions will be unveiled at STGCC’s LEGO zone. You can also build your very own LEGO Voltron figures. And if you are the competitive type, join the Speed Building Challenge, where a full-size Voltron model must be assembled with LEGO bricks within a specified time limit.

Meanwhile, Harry Potter fans will be thrilled to know that there will be a LEGO campus of the famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at STGCC. Want to take a piece of the magical world back home? The newly release Harry Potter Hogwart Castle LEGO set with over 6,000 bricks is available for sale at STGCC in limited quantity. Other Harry Potter merchandises will also be available at the show.

For gamers, the Good Game Experience (GGXP) show which is co-located with STGCC is an entire floor just for gamers. The World Electronic Sports Game (WESG) supported by Alisports (Alibaba Group’s sports branch)​ and local esports initiative Singapore’s Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA) will be holding the Singapore qualifier at GGXP this year. See Gaming Athletes battling out in games such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, Dota 2, Starcraft II ​and Vainglory​. Lend your support to your favourite local esports teams at WESG stage arena as the battle to represent Singapore in the finals.

Of course, for the first time this year GameTrader.SG is partnering with STGCC and GGXP to bring a unique game trading experience to gamers. Unlike other shows where you simply selling your games at a low price to game shop, the GameTrader.SG’s event aims to help you sell your game directly to gamers at the show. While we do not buy back your game, you can simply drop off your game at our booth and potentially sell them at a much higher price. Buyers can view the catalogue of games available (more information here) and purchase them from our booth. If we manage to help you sell your game, you will receive your money at the end of the day! It’s that simple.

We are also organising multiple ‘Meet and Trade’ sessions. Come down with your console game and trade on spot with other gamers according to the schedule which is available here.

So remember to bring your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox and Nintendo switch games to the show! Other game consoles are also welcomed.
