Is none other than the 7th Christmas Toy fair! Which is organized by Collectibles Unlimited Association. You can check out their Facebook page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/philippinetoycon?ref=ts&amp;fref=ts\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">For the employed it is a great place to finish&#8230;err&#8230;spend your 13th month pay and for the students it is a great place to spend your early pamasko from Ninong and Ninang. ^__^\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">I&#8217;ll be honest with you, I&#8217;m just really a newbie when it comes to collecting toys (Wait! Don&#8217;t close the window!) You might be thinking on what authority then do I have to start blogging about events like this? Well (hear me out) even if I am still a beginner when it comes to collecting toys it doesn&#8217;t mean that my love for them (anime and the geek genres) is anything but new.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">So I&#8217;ve recently just started collecting toys and figures and I bought a couple during the Christmas Toy Fair. As usual, Paul and I came from work so we were pretty much done for the day.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><\/span><br \/><a name='more'><\/a><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/12\/0d084-pchengphotography-2236.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/12\/0d084-pchengphotography-2236.jpg?w=300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">The Toy Fair was from December 14-16, 2012 at the SM Megatrade Hall 1 in SM Megamall and also featured the 2nd Philippine Die Cast and Custom Car Show.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>Tips for the toy shopper:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">I&#8217;ve been to other Toy and Anime Conventions and as we all know that there can be\u00a0<i>a lot<\/i>\u00a0of people! So a helpful tip would be to go to the convention on the first day. Not only will there be a lot of room (you also don&#8217;t have to breathe anyone else&#8217;s air) you will also be able to see all the new items- fresh from the boxes! You can make a quick stop during a long lunch or maybe a working break or you can go on leave just like my cousin \ud83d\ude09\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Make your rounds first, sort of like an ocular inspection this is also the best time to take note of prices for items you are interested to buy. This is the best time to gauge which items you like more and which ones you can afford.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>Get your haggle on!\u00a0<\/b><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Don&#8217;t be embarrassed to haggle. Even for guys. You can really save a lot with just a simple question of &#8216;last price?&#8217;-with a smile ^__^ I bought three items during my toy fair trip and I was able to save P50.00 on each. So that&#8217;s a total of P150.00 savings \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Another good tip is to go to the toy convention on the last day. Sometimes stalls would give the best prices during the last days. So an item you may have been salivating on the first day would most likely have the best price on the last day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/12\/cc883-pchengphotography-2237.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:1em;margin-right:1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/12\/cc883-pchengphotography-2237.jpg?w=300\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Build Connections:\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:both;text-align:left;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Stalls usually have fliers available during toy conventions.
