I first played Subbuteo in late 70s (yeah old dude here but young at heart). There were about 10 of us and we had our own English League with each 'managing' his own fave club. We had loads of fun for about 5 years until one by one moved away to college, etc. I did buy the 1994 USA edition and got a few friends to play. IMO Subbuteo did not take off here cos you need space to play the game. Malaysian homes tend to lack space unlike the West where average house is spacious.

Borders sells the box set as well as individual teams. Yeah I think its RM75 per team. I still have my 1994 set with ptch, fences, footballs, score board, corner kickers, throw in men and 3 teams. However the current pitch and players are totally different from the old editions so I wonder how if it affects control.

I found this - https://www.facebook.com/BGDepot - see the post dated Sept 26.

Here's the Subbuteo Malaysia fb page https://www.facebook.com/SubbuteoWorldMalaysia

I wonder if it will last as I was at Borders @ Curve last Friday and they've removed Subbuteo from display and replacing with Star Wars game and such.

Here's an event that took place 2 weeks back - there may be hope yet for Malaysia to finally embrace Subbuteo. http://waspa-circuit.blogspot.com/2013/12/...n-malaysia.html

I visited Hamley's this afternoon but the pitches were removed. The club team set sells for RM69 - packaging is not the same as ones at Borders though.

Oh I get it now. Zeugo men has a flatter base compared to Subbuteo men which is 'deeper' - making it good for curling the player. I didnt have the Zeugo back in 70s and 80s so I cant say if I'll like it over Subbuteo's.

fess66, thanks for posting pics. The new pitch must be much better than the old cloth ones.
