Mommy's 2nd Round at the Big Bad Wolf (BBW) Sale!

Following Mommy's cut-short browsing time after a distress call to attend to work matters (for more details on what transpired, see here), Mommy had a very, very strong urge to go again the following day, i.e., the 1st day of sale opened for the general public.

Being the 1st day of sale, there was already a huge number of people there as expected. However, walking space for you to browse is still not compromised, thanks to BBW holding it in a space as spacious as MAEPS. The most notable difference between the preview sale and the 1st day of sale is that on the 1st day, the books laid out on most of the tables are scattered here and there, tall piles of books last seen on preview day are totally gone by then and an overall more chaotic environment.

Despite braving through the chaotic 1st day sale, Mommy still came up with something fruitful!

All are hard-cover books for RM8 each. The Tinkerbell story-cum-activity book has 100 vinyl stickers for Juan Or to stick and re-stick and re-stick on the board pages. The other two books are comic books - not really for Juan Or to read now - but rather for Mommy's collection. ^_^

Each for RM10. The book on Dream Cars has CD-ROM for you to design your own car based on the given templates but this is more for Juan Or when he is much older - definitely not now! As for the dinosaur book, this is a book that comes together with dinosaur-making kit (plaster of Paris and dinosaur moulds are included) together with flash cards - a real value buy!

Each for RM5. The two top row books are actually glow-in-the-dark books. Mommy tried the books on Juan Or yesterday night and turned out he was wow-ed by them! ^_^ As for the Mickey Mouse books, the Choo-choo Express has all the pages in cardboard and flaps to lift plus stickers (which is value for money compared to other Mickey Mouse Clubhouse books with paper pages only but selling for the same RM5). The Daisy's Pet Ptroject book is hard-covered with board pages.

Mommy found these value-buys as well, each for RM3. For the top row books, Mommy noticed the price tag for these series is not consistent, with most of them bearing the RM5 tag. As for the bottom row books (all hard cover), the Dr. Seuss books especially are value buys because they have been known to be expensive even when sold in the MPH Distributors' warehouse sale.

These are sold for RM12 each. The top row ones are in hard cover and has many Disney stories compiled together (very good buy because normal price is RM59.90 and Book Xcess sold it for RM24.90). The book on blood, goo and boogers is a pop-out book in hard cover. The Valentine Classics is a compilation of Mickey Mouse comics since the 1940s and is in hard cover too. Mommy bought it more for collection purpose.


Total damage? RM123.50 (after 5% discount from RM130).

By the way, despite having 20-plus number of cashier counters to manage the crowd, still the crowd overwhelms the cashier counters! Mommy remembered joining the queue at 4.30 pm and only got to have Mommy's turn at about 5.00 pm! That's half-an-hour of waiting! This was how it looked like to be among those standing in the queue.

Just today when Mommy checked BBW's Facebook update, BBW says that they are replenishing with some more new books from this week onwards. Urggghhhh.....looks like BBW is not giving any chance for Mommy's 'fever' to subside! ^_^
