This is my late blog post coverage for the Great Northern Sale of SM City North EDSA. Its my first time to shop here under the label of Great Northern Sale, my first ever sale here was the first one day midnight sale of SM City North EDSA years ago, I think SM CIty North EDSA was 5 years old when they organized that sale, I remember that we hoarded lots of stuff toys in Gift Gate and parents bought some items for the master’s bed room. This year, the Great Northern Sale is the icon of mall sale here in the Philippines, because they give a great buzz about the sale and hey! SM City North EDSA is the biggest mall here in the Philippines and 3rd largest in the world.
I missed the first 2 days of the Great Northern Sale, my plan is to visit day 1 and day 2 but my schedule is mixed up and got the time to visit the mall on its 3rd and final day. I went there at around 1pm and the flow of people is quite okay. First scene that I saw is at The Block, lots of clothing brand set up a small kiosk in the middle of the hallway and showed up their big price tag to let everyone know that they are on sale.
The Gourmet Card is one of the awesome reward for shoppers this Great Northern Sale, the card let you get an automatic discount and freebies to any participating restaurants in SM City North EDSA. The card comes with a booklet or catalog that can guide you the freebie and discount of each restaurants. The card is free for everyone and all you need to do is line up to the redemption booth and claim one free card.
I’m waiting for the opening the new branch of Jamba Juice, I heard that this will open on September 2012.
Going to the heart of the mall which is the old City Center building, I saw a jam packed of people already coming in and makes the hall so crowdy, I walked so fast just to reach the department store and see what I can buy in that day.
My view from the 2nd floor, all store and brands created a small set up outside their stores just to give way more space to the buyers to check the sale items.
My target that day is to buy my interests – clothes and geeky stuff like toys, gadgets, toys, comics, toys, and more toys.
and here are my geeky finds in SM North EDSA
Transformers shirt sold at P199 in American Boulevard
Wolverine shirt from American Boulevard, price : P199
This cute Emilio Aguinaldo is sold at P250 (not on sale)
Spotted this Q blox Figure key chain of the Dark Knight, sale at P250 (notice the yellow tag?)
I want to close my eyes if I’m dreaming, last Christmas I missed buying that Wowee yellow robot that was on sale at a price of P2500. But his brother the Tri Bot is now in 50% off , priced now at P3000 only. I want to buy this in my next visit to the mall.

I went to Comic Quest to check out some comics on sale, and here are some TPBs and HC on sale..and whoaaaa P500 all TPB and HC displayed on this cabinet.
I’m looking for some Batman shirt that I can wear for the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, but as of now they don’t have a stock on display, but they have only the Marvel superheroes shirts that are not part of the mall wide sale.
I saw this Spider-Man and Care Bears shirt in Annex, I forgot the name of the store hahahah.
The Toy Kingdom mini store in Annex is always on sale, The Terminator figures that I want to buy is already sold out,for a price of P50, Im sure someone will hoard every item. I spotted this Radio Toy for sale at P100. But I don’t if it really work.
I went to Toy Kingdom store at The Block, spotted some toys on sale
And here’s my purchase of the day – I bought that RC Drift Car for P500. My son will love this and also I think its time to upgrade our RC collection.
Here’s a sales guy who help me show on how to open up the RC Drift car if ever I want it to be customized.
Then I bought this life-like rubberized Lizard for only P99. hahahahah my son is scared of lizards, I think this toy will help him overcome the fear from lizards.
