(For those of you who are not from the Philippines, "Greenhills" is a small shopping complex in Metro Manila that is known to be the Mecca of Manila-based collectors of comics, toys and the like. Some merchants there have been known to raid the mainline retailers and hoard what they perceive to be collectibles and then re-sell them in their shops in Greenhills at exorbitant prices. Some, I've heard, even have contacts within those retailers who reserve whole lots of these items so that the sought-after figures never even reach the shelves but are handed to these merchants in boxes. And you thought corruption in the Philippines is only in government.)
Hahaha! Very true 'pre! If only I have a Danny Ocean team, I would have hired him to knock over those Chinese-owned rip off toy shops.

Kudos to Toy Kingdom! They put what they perceived to be collectibles behind the customer service counter so they can control, I assume, the number of figures to one type per customer. Talk about hoard control! Yey! I got me an Agent Helix and a Desert Ambush Scarlett from there.
Which Toy Kingdom branch, Megamall? Do they display those collectibles or I just approach them and ask about it?
