During my uni time back in late 90s, this mall was nearly deserted we thought it was going to go out of business. Thanks to these antique and vintage traders, I think the mall was given a new lease of life.
Ah thanks for sharing that bit of history. These vendors certainly have made this place alive with this niche. I think since then many malls have tried to copy but failed
I used to come here during my college days to buy loose parts for my 1/6 scale action figure builds. Was truly and interest niche place to browse for wares.
Surprisingly from your video the place has changed a lot from last time I went there. Back then the place looked more run down with many empty shop lots. But now it seems like the place has had a glow up.
Glow up was thanks to the flea market and niche shops here. A lot malls tried to emulate but didn’t come through. The accessibility to LRT also helps. Thanks for watching!
This place has fallen down a peg in standards and shops that used to be here over 2 decades but I am glad it's still alive. I used to give Java "tutition" at the Mc Donalds there which I think has now closed down. Also gave tuition at the A&W nearby which has definitely closed down. Also loved the cheap RM 5 Wednesday Cinema at the top floor (again now has already closed down). Glad the other shops that has taken over like the flea market still keeps the place in business.
woah...so rich with history the place. thanks for sharing. You're right, the mall have evolved to be a flea market now and that's what keeps people coming here.
A&W is still operational, but the status is still hanging in the air...Since the signboard of the parking lot development is still there...
And yes, the flea market circa 2008-2013 is the peak of Amcorp Mall flea market experience...Furthermore given that nowadays the flea market started later (*around 11:00am-11:30am) compared to the old 9am-6pm do impact the overall experience a bit...
Another downer are the fact that there's no longer McD or Kenny Roger's Roasters and there's less eateries at level 3 compared to before i.e less port lepak for me and my toy collecting folks (McD used to be the COD locations for toy collectors)
@@jushi5277 yea. McD is usual place to go when there is a break from training next door.
rarely you can find a mall as unique as Amcorp mall. Most of the time you find the same repetition of things in every other malls.
Indeed. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻 go visit the vendors if you’re free. Lots of new faces mixed with the old ones.
i used to live in KL. Amcorp used to be a place to find old goods and as an avid stamp collector..this place is heaven. Should try nasi ayam and mee curry kapitan. For me best in town.
Ah yes it's actually heaven for stamps and coins collectors here. Nasi ayam and mee curry? Is it the restaurant beside the mamak Selera Berkat on LG 1?
Mee curry kapitan is the best! Yummy!
A rare gem for collectors 😍 thank you for sharing!
Indeed. Thanks for watching bro. Hope you had lots of fun and memories there.
Thank you for the tour Kenny. I never miss watching your videos but somehow i missed this video. Best wishes. Cheers!
Hey 👋 thanks for the support and watching. Glad you’ve enjoyed the tour of this niche mall. Cheers! 🥂
Hey dude..just discovered your channel. Thanks for the video...I've been planning to visit Amcorp Mall too one of this days. All these figures and toys brings back memories when I had my own kiosk selling toys too haha...Subscribed!
Woah 🤯 you had your own kiosk there? That’s so cool. Come back and take a look (buy something too), lots have changed. Welcome and thanks for watching!
You just open the gate of malaysia own collectors treasure cove! I mean you cannot resist the excitemen5 one must felt when seeing fascinating objects crafted or valued
And most perhaps in some lots is Comparably cheaper like say In KL somewhere
Hehe...happy to help. Enjoy the hunt! I'm sure the vendors will be happy to assist with your poison. 😁
now the supermarket there is replaced by NSK
Yes, you're right. This video was taken before NSK moved in.
what a great video, thank you for sharing this treasure trove!
Welcome! Come and visit sometime if you can ya
Deserve more like & share so that we can reach more to the collector to go there.. flea market is amazing by the way.. sometimes you get history lesson with the seller.
Yea…please do share and get the collectors to go. I’m sure the history lessons are amazing stories of the past.
20 years ago , after SPM my spot of visit .. Very nostalgic
You sir, got an awesome childhood. I came to KL to work in 2009 and only introduced to this place around 2011 i think.
At that time i came here to pick up comics like Spiderman and Batman from the sellers here. It is still a meeting place now.
After long time, my itchy hands went and explore then "kena" poison by toys 🙈
with NSK newly set in this year this place is getting a new revival of new faces tourist from your neighborhood grocer aunts and mums. Kinda cool to see a vid made about this Collector's haven.
Yes, NSK really helps draws the crowd from outside and a relief to the residents and those working there. Thanks for watching! Do drop by and visit them if you're around the corner.
nice video.....already subscribed
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Amcorp mall changed so much! would love to visit it again after all these years!
@@izzatibashar482 come come! Spend your money here too. 😬
This is one of my favourite malls to go to when I visit KL. Made a mistake of going on a weekday. Place was dead 💀. Didn’t know then the flea market was a weekend thing. There used to be a Tapak street food area at the carpark but it closed down. Went there about a month ago and even the food options were great. There was an Abang selling freshly pressed coffee at the entrance and another selling bomboloni. Love this place❤
Hehe…come back soon. Oh…that coffee is new to me but the bomboloni I’ve seen it at the entrance.
I remember when my 2 boys were in in primary schools. Every weekend i bring them to amcorp all the from seremban. Cause we spent lots of money on 2nd good especially book for half of the new books cassette and etc.. now they are at 24 year . And i hope they repeat it when they have their own family later on. Those day outside parking cheap .
Thanks for sharing your story. I think the vendors you know are still here. Do come and pay them a visit with your children someday.
My last time here was 20 years ago when I bought an old hardcover book on Anthropology. I’m not sure whether it’s considered as an antique, but it looks nice on the bookshelf. I wish you could go further into the bookshop just to show a glimpse of some books they are selling currently. Thank goodness the bookstore is still there. Anyway thanks to you for showing us the place which brings back all those memories when I was still a young student. ❤❤❤😊
Anthropology, now that's an interesting niche subject. I recall seeing 2 bookstores there, 1 on ground floor and BookXcess on level 3. For vintage and rare titles, you might get lucky going hunting in the flea market as some of them do carry books for sale. Thanks for watching! Come back soon!
@@KennyEatsWorld Thanks for the recommendation.
cant wait to go this year
Come come, I’m sure the traders will be happy to see you.
This is a great and comprehensive video. This is the best place in Malaysia for toy shopping. Don’t go to any malls only go to Amcorp Mall but only go on weekends and after 12pm. They also have a money changer
Its a community mall, very comfy feeling if you come during the weekend 🥰
very "poisonous" too. go in empty hands come out with multiple toys, books, and collectibles. Thanks for watching
My almost every week must go checklist
you sir, is a man of culture. What you collect? Do say hi if you see me there.
also one of the Malay Restaurant is owned by one of the Sidek brothers, I forgot which one - Misbun, Jalani or Razif...
Oh wow 🤩 now this is new to me. Next time I will ask around, maybe the vendors will know.
@@KennyEatsWorld bro, that was quite a while ago, I cant be sure if they still own it, I think it was on the ground/LG? floor - they used to sell Ikan bakar if I am not mistaken, the food was not that bad and reasonably priced but was not the best Ikan bakar lah :)
@@KennyEatsWorld Anyway, I did a google search about Sidek and amcorp mall, there are no matches. maybe I got my facts wrong or maybe they just didnt register under their name, think best to just ask around the old tenents there.
go there for the toys bro. food enough to fill stomach can already
place where i have to go when at KL, i live at Sarawak so here always come to check the old stuff for sale
Come back soon! Yea...it's a fun place for treasure hunting.
I used to work in this mall 15 yrs ago. There was an open sir car park outside of the mall compound (just besides it).. not sure if its still there
Hmm...just beside it no longer around the compound. It's now an office building. The open air carpark at the main entrance is still around.
You can park at the A&W parking
Yes, there also can. Free parking and cross over
Actually you can't. The manager will chase you away. Speaking from experience 😂
Next mall I feel will become like Amcorp mall is definitely the USJ summit right now its still functioning due to GSC, Jaya Grocer and some amateur tournaments but I feel now wont be long.
Anyhow back to Amcorp mall I used to come here frequently up to 5 years ago cause I worked somewhere nearby. Its really dead on working days but I do come by on friday or saturday usually cause there a shop that sell stuff I like on saturday (used to work 5 and half days)
USJ Summit? Interesting choice. I went there I think earlier this month and the only thing they got going is a social chess gathering.
There was some cosplay and anime convention not too long ago. Guess they are trying to revive the place.
Oh you mean the flea market vendors? What you usually buy there? For me it's toys haha..
@@KennyEatsWorld I used to trade console games with one of the sellers in amcorp mall they usually have selection that I want. But if not I usually just walk I like the vibe.
On USJ summit they been trying to revive the place for over a decade now lol. I just feel it is on a busy street, big place but lots of closed store. I went to the summit hotel for a training program for a week and since mall is just next to it for the whole week I go there. it seems like just need a weekly program like the flea market to make people come back. They have advange cinema still there so people will come on weekends.
I wonder can still get 1980s Captain Power and the Soldier of the Future or not
hmm...might need to ask the flea market vendors there to source for you. they can really dig
The R/C aircraft and cars hobby shops are also all gone😢
😭😭😭 yea bro, guess it went out of trend.
anyone knows the name of the pokemon stall?
There’s no name but you can find them there every weekend. The guy’s name is Austin. Nice chap.
What would be the best time to come here? I used to work in the offices nearby and everytime I drop by after office hours all the shops were closed.
@@shiranui498 weekends bro. The flea market also on weekends. Weekdays a lot of shops not open.
Malaysia action figures and toy collector heavens
indeed
Any retro gaming stuff in the flea market?
retro gaming like gameboy? i don't recall seeing any at the flea market but don't take my word for it. I was just browsing.
Hidden gem
Indeed. Hopefully now no longer hidden. The vendors could use the foot traffic and visits. Thanks for watching
amcorp mall?? near LRT?? im going there!!!!!!
Yes, take the train and stop at LRT Taman Jaya station. Have fun!
Is any tcg shops there
Got at level 3 warhammer ones, some Pokémon ones at level 1, and one more recently opened offering graded TCG. The new shop I didn’t get to put here as it opened after this video is published. Some of the shops sells One Piece TCG too.
same goes to sungei wang plaza
I've not visited in a very long time
The only reason i go there is for the flea market.
Yup…many of us too. Not much action on the weekdays.
my 1st time there mistake park at open carpark crazy unlogic expensive hahaha
🤣 no worries i made that mistake too! When go pay parking i was like walaooooooo...the parking fees more than my comics la.
@@KennyEatsWorld hahahaha same
Tempat berhantu......masuk poket bnyk duit,keluar poket abis duit.....serammmmmmmmmm........😅😅😅
🤣😆 100% setuju bro. sekarang ada kredit kad lagi seram
@@KennyEatsWorld .......seram tapi time gaji terasa macam kne rasuk je kena pergi sana....😁😁😁
collecting dust in the house..
well, different people different interests, some like collecting dust in their houses ma. let them be lor as long happy, their money anyway.
It doesn't matter. Maybe they have maid. It's their life. Enjoy the little things that makes you happy.
I hate this mall. Every time I went I'll spend more than I can chew and end up eating bread till my next paycheck 😂
🤣🤣🤣 ok I can relate bro.
the Amcorp hall is hideous, centre mall is painted yellow. hahah i dont know what to say abt the paint scheme. ☺
Old color scheme like this lor
@@KennyEatsWorld but interesting tenant mix
@@totallybtm yes this mall has found its niche.
So yr name is Kenny Here. Interesting name
🤣 icwatudidthere

thanks for the feedback! Once I have the money, it's on the cards.
