Can I have my baggage checked from HND - SIN without it connected to SYD and recheck it myself?
Also can I leave my luggage out in the carousel for potentially 1.5hours?

Basically i have a slight dilemma. I want to buy some duty free alcohol at HND airside, but I also want to go out at SIN given I have all day and friends to visit. Thus I might have trouble going through security again.

My flight lands at 645 and initially I was planning on chilling a bit before the QF J lounge opens around 7:50 where I'll grab some breakfast before heading out.

But now I need to figure out if I can leave my luggage on the belts there for a while. Alternatively I could just go out and find breakfast in Singapore itself at some cafe.
 
Assume you mean you are transiting SIN on way HND-SYD, and want to just check your luggage to the SIN intermediate stop. I further assume the rationale is that you can stash your HND acquired goodies in your checked luggage and leave that airside in SIN.

I have never attempted to check luggage to an intermediate transit stop so will make no comment on that.

As @Cynicor says you could collect your luggage (if successful with only checking it to SIN) - you could then take it to the bag store in the Jewel, and later check it in alongside at the early check-in point in the Jewel.

Ah what I meant was to check luggage through to SIN from HND. (Connecting flight later in the day). Leave luggage in carousel for an hour or so (belt running) to get breakfast at QF lounge then grab the bag and to repack it with the alchy from HND duty free. Then early drop off and head into city.

The part that I'm not sure about is letting it be unclaimed om the belt for an hour.

Well knowing how efficient SIN Changi is run, you may have to chase it down as I did see them clearing a belt while I was waiting at and adjoining one last November.

Should be fine. I've done it a couple of times recently after SQ flights.

Last week, it was about 1 hr after landing. Luggage was sitting beside the belt
Previous time, about 2 hrs after landing, luggage had been moved to be sitting (along with a heap of other bags) just in front of lost luggage.
