Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008

We reached Suntec at 11.30am, and there was already an extremely long queue all the way to the other end. I told the boy, there goes my door gift of a bear brick. I wasn't too happy.

In fact, I was rather upset. The challenge and satisfaction of actually getting there early and getting the free gift is not something everyone knows how to appreciate. You should have seen the number of people queuing for it. I even overheard a group of guys saying they were going back tomorrow to get the other version.

Anyway, the other half too quickly promised me 20 dolls as a makeup and half regretted it later. I'm holding you to it.

These are the blythe dolls that everyone's crazy about. I own just 1 DAL.

Lao Fu Zi Comics, which we read when we were young.

Domuya your Doll - these cost around $1000 ;"

Star Wars over the years.

Something new I found interesting - GLOOMY the naughty grizzly. "Cute" characters as a platform for the artist to deliver his social commentary on world issues.
