Avengers Infinity War Tumblers and Die-Cast Figures


A week ago my mom, my nephew, and I had a movie date! We watched the Avengers Infinity War. I am familiar with the Avengers because my brother during our younger days, used to collect Marvel comics and trading cards.

We made a movie reservation online. After buying tickets for the movie, (It was great! by the way. I became an instant fan of Doctor Strange.) We also bought the collectible tumblers, all 4! The characters that were featured are Thanos, Spiderman, Ironman, and the Hulk.

After that we found out about the Die-Cast Avengers desktop figures that Petron launched. The promo started last April 15 up to May 15, 2018 only. Each toy figure is priced at 450 Philippine Pesos. For a 500 pesos receipt at Petron you can buy one Avengers deskstop figure. We have all the 6 desktop figures. I thought at first that there is no more available toy figures because my nephew called and said its not available anymore. When he got home I saw him carrying the boxes. It turned out he was just only kidding me. he!he!he! The figures are really of good quality. I can say the price is right. Each figure has a unique feature. A usb connector, cellphone holder, charger, memo pad, lamp, and electronic message board. My favorite die-cast figure is Doctor Strange.

Book Depository U.K Tolkien Book Haul

  Hello everyone! Last February I was able to shop online via Book Depository. I decided to try shopping there because I have seen, and read good reviews of people who bought their books there. 

I bought Tolkien's
Kullervo, The History of Middle Earth boxed set (The Book of Lost Tales I and II, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-Earth, The Lost Road and Other Writings). I also bought supplemental books, like The Inklings (biographies of Lewis, Tolkien and their Friends), Tales From the Perilous Realms (this is a compilation of J.R.R. Tolkien's other works such as Roverandom, Smith of Wooton Major, Leaf by Niggle etc.). All the books comes with a free bookmark (Peppa Pig etc.)

The first 2 books arrived at my doorstep (The Inklings, and Tales from Perilous Realm), while the other remaining books, I asked my mom to get it for me at the Main Post Office which is really a hassle to get. The books are cheap here, and its free shipping. What I just don't like is the other books are not delivered at my doorstep. So I'm not sure if I will order from them again. It almost took 4 weeks for me to get all of the books that I have ordered. Over-all Book Depository purchase has been satisfactory for me. If you want to save, and you love books (a lot of titles are available) try ordering from them.
