Big Bad Wolf Hot Box Book Sale Is Back in 2026

After a year-long hiatus and growing demand from readers nationwide, Big Bad Wolf Books is bringing back one of its most requested formats with the return of the Big Bad Wolf Hot Box Book Sale, running from 7 to 15 February 2026 at Hextar World, Empire City, Exhibition Hall (G Floor).

 

Open daily from 10:00am to 12:00am, the Hot Box Book Sale invites readers to experience book buying in its most immersive form — choosing a box and filling it with books they actually want to read, drawn from a collection of over 500,000 titles spanning children’s books, fiction, non-fiction and coffee table selections.

 

Unlike traditional book sales or pre-selected bundles, Hot Box places the power of choice firmly in readers’ hands. 

Shoppers browse freely, hunt for familiar authors and recognisable titles, and build their own personalised box, one book at a time. The experience has often been described as a treasure hunt, where discovery, strategy and volume determine the final value.

 

What sets Hot Box apart is its transparent approach to book conditions. Titles are offered in a broad and visible range of conditions, allowing readers to trade minor imperfections for significant savings. This model enables book lovers to pack far more books for less, turning volume into value.

 

“Hot Box is not about perfect copies,” the team shared. “It’s about great stories, meaningful reads, and the thrill of uncovering unexpected gems. 

The fuller the box, the better the deal — and readers who know how to maximise space walk away with more than they expected.”

 

Operating on a first-come, first-served basis, the Hot Box Book Sale rewards early visitors with the widest selection and the strongest chance to uncover the best finds. As with previous editions, early ‘Wolfies’ are expected to secure the fullest boxes as demand peaks during opening days.

 

Taking place at Hextar World, Empire City, the large-scale exhibition hall is designed to support long browsing sessions, discovery-driven shopping, and the physical thrill of box-packing — an experience that has become synonymous with the Hot Box concept.

 

With interest already running high ahead of its return, Hot Box 2026 reinforces Big Bad Wolf Books’ ongoing commitment to accessible reading, proving that affordability does not have to come at the cost of quality, choice or experience.

Fullmetal Alchemist Exhibition Makes Its International Debut in Malaysia

“Fullmetal Alchemist", a popular Japanese manga work that has sold more than 80 million copies worldwide, tells the story of Edward Elric and his younger brother Alphonse Elric's journey and growth to regain their bodies, which they lost through the practice of human body alchemy, a taboo form of alchemy. 

In this exhibition, manga manuscripts (duplicates) and illustrations (duplicates) drawn by Hiromu Arakawa, the author of the story, will be displayed in an art showcase format, creating an experience similar to that of an art exhibition. 

The exhibition is divided into 7 zones, and is an extremely valuable exhibition structure that allows visitors to experience as if they have entered the world of the manga drawn by Hiromu Arakawa, delivering a world view unique to "Fullmetal Alchemist'' that pays homage to the original story.

Exhibition Highlights:

Fullmetal Alchemist Manga Universe Showcase

The exhibition features approximately 300 items containing manga manuscripts (duplicates) and colored illustrations (duplicates) depicting vivid scenes. Attendees will have the opportunity to closely admire reproductions of Arakawa's works unveiling the sources of the creator's inspiration. 

The exhibit displays rare collectibles such as costume props used in the Fullmetal Alchemist 2022 live action film. In a special gesture, Hiromu Arakawa has prepared a unique and exclusive artwork for this first overseas exhibition, expressing gratitude to the enthusiastic support of the audience.
