I’M JUST SAYING…

It was a few days back when Vader asked me if I was planning to hit the Hasbro Toy event over at the Mall of Asia and without batting the proverbial eyelash, I immediately said “maybe but probably not”. Heading towards Pasay (from Pasig) on a Saturday to see what would most likely be “nothing new” wasnt my idea of spending my downtime well. But then, I thought that it would be a good time to see some of my fellow collectors (it took me almost 5 minutes to pick this word over other less positive terms), I asked Vader and Phulboss if they wanted to meet up for lunch at the MOA anyway. Phulboss had with him an extra SDCC exclusive Giganta which I had agreed to buy and Vader had something to pass on to me as well so it was as good a time to meet as any.
