Big Boys Toy Store enables any toy lover or collector not only a chance to purchase the most popular toys in popculture, but also add rare toys! The great thing about the staff at Big Boys is that they are incredibly accomodating, and best of all they understand the obssession! Tell them what toy you're looking for and they'll tell you if they have it or if not whether you can pre-order it. They have clearbooks filled with different items that are not on hand at their stores but available for order if it indeed what you desire. And if what you are looking for is not included in stock or in the pre-orders file, they have been known to source it out for you. Just ask nicely lol!

JAE Collectibles is another nerd's store. By that I mean, everything inside it is something only a…read moredie hard fan of comics and such would ever appreciate. There are so many different toys in there. It's a small place, but man were they able to cram so much stuff in there. I mean, looking at all the toys in that place made my headspin. If you're a Pinoy and you find it difficult to find a collectible, I strongly recommend that you visit this place. I mean, crap words can't just begin to express the number of stuff in there that I like and the obscene and unhealthy amount of cash I want to splurge in that place and on the toys that I want to buy. So there you have it, if you're a nerd who really wants to buy limited edition collectible figurines and such, then this is the place that you want to go to.

At some point, toy collecting overlaps with kid's toys. Sometimes, you have to swallow your pride…read moreand go into toy stores without any shame. I can name people who have entered places like Toy Kingdom and Toys-R-Us to look for that one coveted Lego set or a Gundam that you don't quite have yet. Then there are places like Mindwerks that kind of blur the line between a kid's toystore and a grown up toystore. Right off the bat, you could probably think it's a toystore for little kids. Sure, there's a lot of Lego but once you take a second look at the shelves, you'll notice there's stuff there that would interest either much older children too. Puzzles. Jigsaw puzzles. I loved those growing up... and I'm not talking about those puny 100 piece ones. There are 300 piece puzzles, 1000 piece puzzles... definitely something older kids would appreciate... or nerds like myself. Mindwerks is stocked with what I would probably term as brain toys. They're not exactly blatant educational toys but they make you think.

A visit to Greenhills will never be complete without going to Regina Gift Shop…read more When I was a kid my parents would remind me that it's a gift shop meaning I went in to buy gifts for other people. I believed that lie until I was about ten. I guess that was to prevent me from buying all the awesome goodies this shop has to offer. Sorry, parents. I'm buying gifts for myself. They have everything! And I really mean everything. They have all my childhood candies next to a stand of plastic balloons. You know, those little tubes which you squeeze until this substance comes out which you blow into with the use of a little stick. There's a shelf with plates, spoons and forks and knives, cups and lunchboxes. And in the center, you'll find notebooks, stickers, pens, art materials, cellphone cases and the occasional sex toy. Speaking of toys, they do have toys for babies and children and adults who collect toys. Not into those things? They have bags, clothes and hats too. I remember being dragged here by my mom whenever I needed a costume for school. "You're only going to wear it once anyway. But it at Regina," she'd say. Don't get me wrong, their clothes don't break after one use. They have cool socks and hats. And sometimes if you're lucky, they have sell Christmas stockings. I can't remember everything they sell at this shop. So it would be great if you have a look for yourself. You won't be disappointed and you'll leave with lots of loot.

Gift Factory holds a special place in my heart. I remember way back when in grade school and high…read moreschool (yes, at that age I still liked stuff toys, hehe) before the era of technology overtook the world, my favorite aunt and uncles would gift me with stuff toys from Gift Factory and my school friends would gift me with GF toys for Friendship Day. They focus on stuff toys big (and I mean big like children's size) and small. I always loved how soft and plush their toys are and how gosh darn cute everything in the store is. And also how the interior is simple and the walls are glass so they can showcase their toys in all its glory. If you are a mom, a dad, an auntie or an uncle and you're looking for great gifts for a holiday or special occasion, their stuff toys are the perfect choices for your little sons, daughters, nieces and nephews!

I mean, as a kid, pet stores and toy stores were my haven. I would go there and you'd find me running around like I was a young kid mainlining LSD and Red Bull. This particular Toy Kingdom is great. It is humongous. It in fact reminds me of the Toy Kingdom back in SM Southmall, which is now a lot smaller by the way. What else can I say about this toy store other than that I'm glad it still exists. If you have kids, I implore you to take them here. Toys are important because kids learn to use their imagination to play with them. Interacting with a toy tends to promote creativity since a child is supposed to come up with their own unique scenarios or ways to play with something as static as a toy. Be a good parent and take them to Toy Kingdom.

One of the shops that I go to to look for rare Mr. Potato Heads, Marvel paraphernalia and all sorts of toys is Patrick's Toyshop. There are days when I go there and they don't have what I want or what I'm looking for. Because of that, I've learned to tell the staff to tell the owner what toys to get. See, they only stock up the shop with the toys that sell. And if you ask them for the toys you like, they'll get them for you. Outside the shop, you'll see toys for children. They have all sorts of dolls and still have Frozen items. Occasionally, you'll see the weird Angry Birds toys. If you're a collector, just rush inside and keep your eyes wide open. You'll spot something you like after a minute or so of looking.

Known as the premier supplier of the highest quality collectables around, this haven is not easy for anyone's wallet, with busts being sold for as much $600. At best, Maxicollector can be considered a very geeky museum of statues and collectibles for people to look at. Still, it's not difficult to see why many of these figures are sought after by the most ardent of collectors. The quality of work that goes into the figures shows in the display, and often are at 1:6 of the original scale. Who knows? If you feel like spoiling yourself with something out of Star Wars or Marvel comics, Maxicollector might have what you need.
