So let me tell you, it is with no small amount of pride that I report my Saturday acquisitions.
My partner and I went to a shopping location called Greenhills to meet my family for dinner and drinks yesterday. We got to the area a bit early, though, and decided to kill some time by loitering around a series of boutiques in Shoppesville.
Now, one of the corridors in Shoppesville is devoted to toy and hobby shops. Star Wars memorabilia, die-cast cars, all sorts of collectibles.
As I was about to leave the last shop, I happened to look down at a box full of plushes near a display of table tennis gear.
And what should I find in the box but THESE:
Chocobo Black Mage, from the game Chocobo's Dungeon.
Chocobo White Mage, from the game Chocobo's Dungeon.
Chocobos are the iconic mascots of the Final Fantasy franchise. I had wanted a plush forever. And now, I'd found TWO.
I asked the salespeople for the prices - they quoted me a figure which they claimed was already a discount - I sighed, and smiled, and said, "I'll take them."
I think I'll buy these two adorable birdies some protective armor and then proudly display them at the office!

OMG so cuuuute! how much did they cost you? *braces self*
900 each; 1,800 the pair.
The original tag price was 1,500 each.
yeowch! >< and to think discounted na yan ha.
i'm such a cheapskate. XD
Okay lang, I'm not complaining about the price since I will likely not be able to find the chocobos in the Philippines again. Last stock na raw sila ng store, and they were not planning to get any more.
