If you fancy toys, comics, and similar collectibles, you’ll find the entirety of this post interesting or at least intriguing to say the least.

Somewhere around the heart of Manila, you will find a place that is known to have a cluster of toyshops and boutiques among many others. Just scroll through the pictures and you shall see how filled this place is. If you’re in search of affordable tags and good finds, well say no more. Here you go toy fans and comics enthusiasts!

We’ve roamed around this area for about half the day just to look for a variety of toys and collectibles, and I must say, none of us were disappointed. None of us even left empty-handed. It’s no wonder why a lot of people frequently go here, there’s just a ton of goods being sold. You name it, and they probably have or had it.

If you don’t mind tight and crowded spaces, then you can consider giving this place a visit for your next toy or comic haul because being in this place is really an adventure. If you’re familiar with the place, heck – if you know this place and been here a couple of times, you know that being in this place can be both fun and challenging to go to at the same time.

However, if you don’t have any clue or idea about this place, my main giveaway is that this place is around Manila. Pay close attention to the details, use your best judgement, and you just might figure it out. Not that we want to be secretive or spoil the fun, but just think of this as a challenge, a challenge not that hard to solve. Remember that nothing worth having (or knowing for this matter) comes easy.

The place is massive, and if you like what you’re seeing, it would really consume that much of your time to wander. Unless, you already know the place that well, that’s something else. For first timers, I honestly think you wouldn’t mind getting lost as long as you’re not completely getting off trail.

Once you locate where this is, then you’re in for a ride. It’s the place for almost anything I tell you. Bootlegs or not, you’re going to be amazed by the collectibles available in here if you’re a toy fan in general. Well those were yet another subtle hints for your perusal. You’re welcome guys. If those clues were enough, you can thank me later. Happy toy hunting!
