I went to the Philippines for a vacation, and as always I need to get my Plastic crack fix. I visited multiple Filbar's, comic book shop and collectible shop in Manila and I was Blown away. I love the Philippines.

I love to see shops in other countries. I understand your hesitation filming inside but I’m sure if you asked beforehand most would give permission. I always ask and no shop has ever said no. Free advertising for them. Let’s see more Op. This was great fun.

Will do, I am not used to filming outside yet so I am sure it's me. Like you said most people are nice about it.

It's great to know that you're Filipino too! I think that buying Hot Toys in the Philippines is a bit cheaper because the sales tax is already included in the list price. If you bought the same figure in the US or Canada, you will be charged extra for the sales tax.

That is true, I would say though, it is cheap however you have to take into account the space it would take to bring it back in the states.

I am so glad Filbars is stilll running, with all the premium collectibles nowadays. Sadly, a lot of older malls that used to sell branded collectibles have been made obsolete and its local shops had resorted to bootleg figures, thus they don’t want the merchandise being recorded. These high end collectibles can only be bought in dedicated toy/comic/collector shops in big malls like SM.

I wanted to see more, unfortunately once we left Manila, I didn't see any shops selling them anymore.

Not everyone in the philippines are poor lol. I earn 6 digit working for a private company. A lot filipino families are middle class already. Watch city tours of BGC, Makati or Muntinlupa, youll see a lot of filipinos eating in expensive international restaurants. There's also a large Disney Store opening this year at the mall of asia.
