 | 12.20.2010 - The height of the Holiday Season has been quite hectic over the weekend. Of course, the traffic has been twice as bad traveling to nearby places either a bus or train commute is not going to take you there in less than an hour.
These are considered the busiest times of the season and the challenges of weaving through the traffic are definitely the worst idea to travel by 6 pm on a Sunday. You are going to be thrilled about this year, and because due to budget constraints, the local toy fair is quite underwhelming. Despite all the challenging things that go around a last-minute toy run wasn't terribly a missed opportunity. Jump after the cut... |
There weren't that much good stuff that stood out to really sink your teeth in, maybe it might be something you like, But honestly, what really got my attention is actually what I really need to get it. Earlier the day, I first head off to Rustan's at Shangri-La Plaza to spend $20.00 US worth of gift checks that is rarely what lifestyle bloggers get from all that traveling and doing coverage as an invited media. This year must be the season for getting "Paper Money" that most bloggers earn, and this is what you get from not asctually spending "real money" for it. Honestly, I actually went crazy on some stuff early this year that I'd probably regret. But these ones are worth getting them since the need to complete the A-Team.
After picking up the Power Core Grimstome with the Dinobots, A-Team action figures, and a Matchbox Golf GTi. I went to visit what's left of the so called Christmas Toy Fair, once I got my loot in the bag. It's the same annual toy event, but this time the toy drive donations went to cancer-stricken kids that was represented by Toy Soldier 1:18 action fiugre group are there to present their cultivated donation.
On the way out I picked up three additional die-cast cars, and was fortunate enough to acquire an old casting of the classic VW Golf and a modified custom Beetle, which both are produced by Hot Wheels. I also got the First Edition Radio Flyer from 1998, which all of them will probably end up in storage due to limited docu
menting them and writing a review about each car.
Nearing the tail end of the event I still manage to get some neat stuff as the perspective of this panorama gives you an idea of what these people doing. Thanks to Cholo, the co-organizer of this event and with some sales pitch I also bought a Wolverine graphic novel for only $2.00 US.
I'm good already after a hard earned work which pays to be decent enough to get these. It's not everyday you make a splash on something non-essential. But I finally got the A-Team comple, and got one of the Power Core Combiners on clearance at the same time some die-cast cars to find the time in opening each one of them or at least the Radio Flyer... Someday.
These are not that much, but sometimes it was another wrap for an adventerous weekend.
