The third edition of the Black Hole Toys Retro Night Market has arrived with a bang.
Following the last stormy edition, the toy-loving community is gearing up once more for two full days of nostalgic treasure hunting, playful chaos and collector joy.
Hosted again at the Black Metal Museum, this beloved pop-up market will feature 108 vendors offering everything from vintage toys and collectibles to handmade creations, rare editions and all things delightfully odd. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious newcomer, this is your chance to explore booths filled with childhood memories and retro magic.
This time, the night market has introduced an interactive live auction game, where 108 unique toys, each a collector's gem, will be auctioned off. The twist? You'll need Black Hole Coins to place bids. Earn them by purchasing from vendors (the better your conversation, the more coins you'll accumulate) or buy them directly at the front desk (5 yuan/70 US cents = 10,000 coins). You can use these coins not just for bidding but also to receive discounts at the Black Gold Museum store.
Expect five auctions each day, with 11 curated pieces featured in every session, all utilizing a classic three-call bidding format. Additionally, the Black Gold Museum has scheduled mystery guests to make appearances. Last time, it was a monster; who knows what they'll bring this time?
So grab your tote, gather your collector crew and prepare for the ultimate toy night. Rain or shine, the market will be waiting in the retro glow.
