How to Buy Toys From the US and Ship to the Philippines

Have you been looking for a better way to purchase toys online from the US and have them delivered to your doorstep in the Philippines?

Traditionally we have relied to our local postal services to do the job but it usually take 30 to 45 days until you get a parcel claim notification. Unfortunately sometimes they never arrive for unknown reasons. It’s true. It happened to me twice already.

Buying Toys Online Simple Guide

Probably you are looking for a particular toy collectible that isn’t available in your local toy stores. If hope is gone, why not try looking online? Now there are two kinds of online shopping and that is buying online locally and internationally.

Buying online locally means searching for toy items that are being sold online by local sellers who lives in your country. For example if you live in Manila, you can try shopping at websites like olx.ph, ebay.ph, GreatToysOnline and more.

Now there are also facebook pages that you can add to your list who also sell toys online and accept preorders. Some facebook pages are Kramer Toy Warden, Big Boys Toy Store, Sonny’s Toy Art, Land orys, Lanz Collectibles and GreatToysOnline.  If you found an item that interests you, you have the option to have it ship to your doorstep, pick them up from their store branches or do meet up with the seller.

Why Adults Are Into Toy Collecting?

Do you sometimes feel awkward when you’re in a shopping mall and you tell your wife you're going to the toy store? Or do your co-workers make fun of you when they saw dozens of toys in your room?

Actually there are lots of reasons why big boys and girls are still into toys nowadays. And one main reason is toy collecting.

Now why do people collect? It’s a sense of accomplishment, the beauty of completing things from different sources and the manner it was acquired. It also gives someone a feeling of luckiness when they bought something rare and cheap.

If you're a Star Wars collector like me, perhaps you're also wondering what's the next 6" Black Series waves for 2014.

From the previous waves we've seen, we wanted more of them! So here's what we can expect to hit the toy stores in 2014.

Stormtrooper 6” Star Wars Black Series Review

Here is another awesome figure from Hasbro-the Stormtrooper! Yes and he’s my favorite character in Star Wars. He belongs to Wave 4 that also include Han Solo repack, Obi Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker in Bespin outfit.

The six inch series wouldn’t be complete without including the Stormtrooper who is seen in Episodes 4-6 and has always been one of the iconic sci-fi figures of the Star Wars saga.
