Sorry guys, if you were tricked getting here on a chance to win a Free iPod Nano, I apologize, but there’s no iPod Nano. I just can’t stop myself from getting into the latest marketing trends that all the companies in the world are seemingly doing right now.
Oh well, if you’re still interested, following up the previous post on Springvale, I actually shopped in this rather large grocery store along the street nearby the main shopping complex. I spotted two mini-sized dragons in the store, hanging there, I reckon, for ages already. Coz simply, no one could afford it.
This dragon costs Australian Eight-freaking-hundred dollars!!!
There’s another larger one posing right opposite of the previous one, priced at a staggering, Australian Twelve-creeking-hundred dollars!!!
Now, the quality of the dragons ain’t bad, I admit, the material used are pretty good, nice fabrics, plastics, woods, handcrafted, etc. But believe me guys, those poor dragons are gonna be in that store for a long, long time. Kids nowadays don’t play with those things anymore, they’ve got their PSP and iPod Nano to play with.

Normally it’s for larger organisation (chinese in this case) to buy it…like we also got 20feet Christmas tree priced at few thousands dollars as well

Wu Ching: Lolz. Wong’s right. Probably if you own a big company, you could put it up in front of the main entrance, ya know, it chases bad spirit away.
HBK: Yeah, I guess you’re right, we won’t be needing those. But I think the price tag are so because of they’re premium stuffs? you won’t get them elsewhere?

These takes a lot of time and effort to make so they are sooo expensive. The bamboo sticks inside have to be light and strong as well because God knows how many times the dancers hit the head inside.
