Marikina is one of the cleanest cities in the Philippines, sometimes one would wonder, what they do with their scrap garbage. recycle and turn them into giant hulking scrap metal robots of course! ^^ I was passing by the city on my way to some work related stuff, when I happen to chance upon these structures. good thing I had my Canon EOS with me. I’ll try to scout around next time for more. who knows there might be a gundam one around there somewhere. until then, here are the few ones I was lucky enough to take a picture of:

Earlier Transformers didn’t have guns, they fight using spears and shields. ^^

If a gadget starts to become extremely saleable, chances are there’s a clone maker out there brave enough to take a bite off the gadget’s market base. and true enough here are the clones of the hottest gadgets in the market today:

The Transformers movie not only made a big hit on the box office, but is said to be the fastest selling DVD of the year. and to cash in on us consumers, they decided to market variant casings for the same DVD.

I myself decided to buy the normal two disc DVD from a local store. Although I can’t believe how greedy the local distributors are. They were not content on getting money off DVD buyers, they had to find sponsors and shove in garbage promo leaflets inside the DVD box. I wonder if this happens on your part of the world as well.
