Toys R Us to open here!

[fenrir72]

Oh nostalgia...too true. I did purchase some of my Mattel Shogun warriors at Alemars.

to those who said that Toys R Us will be like Toy Kingdom with another name.. you guys are correct.. my friend just went there and he got the same reaction.. the only edge i think they got now is that they have more stocks of the same thing.. why would someone spend a lot of money on a franchise that would be just the same as any regular toy store here?

Hey guys... i just got back from TRU Galleria. Fortunately, I have my trusted ole camera with me... Hope you enjoy it...

This is a big surprise. There are bootleg items in TRU Galleria. I took pix of bootleg transformer toys.



R-Zone... videogames, electronics, etc...


Here's something for Superman Collectors...

The middle picture shows the Hotwheels playset... a must have for every Superman collectors... not bad at PHP1,400

... nothing warmer than dropping your pants on your first meeting ;D


um... is this even appropriate inside a toystore? ;D


take two... after much convincing, Geoffrey finally agreed to take a picture with his pants on... ;D

I agree that it's just like TK under a different name.

*sigh*

so much for free market competition.

Grabe, people were like swarming around the hotwheels boxes looking for ferraris and civics! People were walking around w/ baskets w/ those xmen archangels.

For zoids and gundam people, you're not missing anything. Heck, they don't even have the proto gojulas giga.

I was excited to see a huge galaxy optimus prime coz I was looking fwd to seeing their transformers inventory....only to be frustrated that they don't even have an optimus toy in their shelves *haaaay*. I was craving for those TRU transformers exclusives. (The only TRU exclusives I saw were the die-cast cars beside dub city.)

ei san po ba located ang Toys R Us?

[neoraven3]

@ archaznable it's located at Robinson's Galleria in Ortigas. But been there myself, nothing new, and as well as all the other posts says, it's like TK only with a different name.

Hey!~ Initial D Cars! Did anybody see how much do they cost?

[Hayabusa]

I can't quite remember but the 1/24 scales go for around P1,400 I think.

[Majingaa Zetto™ 12·03·72]

the 1:64 scale cost Php250.

[[e-mail]]

uhmmm... its the 1/24th scale and it does cost 1.4k php (the 4 variants: AE86, FC3S, FD3S, R32)
