Part 3 : Proudest Moment for Kiren Toys
Despite being an online blogshop for less than 2 months, and being run on a hobby basis, Kiren Toys does go to all lengths to play at the highest level to deliver excellent customer service and toys.
Of late, Kiren Toys has been sourcing for customers and fans who want more than just LMQ, Mater, CARS 2 characters. Some of the triumphs include getting Dinoco Helicopter (box), Kimura Kaizo (box), Funny Face Mater (box), and providing the elusive Kabuto, Goodbye Kar, Kyandee, Manji, etc with ease and without paying crazy eBay kind of price.
But our proudest achievement has got to be this :
Securing for Littlemommy the very impossible to get LIZZIE! (The other one is mine :) at a decent price. And works is on the way to get for her WINGO that she has asked for.
So what's the big deal?
For starters, what do you see on the shelves at departmental stores? Heaps of LMQ, Maters, Francescos, Holley, etc, etc. It is very close to impossible to get them especially CARS 1 & Cars Toon! And there so many kids like mine, who are fans.
On the flipside, the market is charging a High price for all the ultra rare cars, and as a collector and fan, I refuse to pay crazy prices. Kimura Kaizo & Funny Face Mater were going at S$75-$100 each on eBay, I offered S$35 (special one-off deal for existing customers) for my one and only extra piece.
Ok... I am ranting. In short, I choose value over opportunitism, friendship over quick-sale and real service over marketing hype :)
Meanwhile, as I look at the two LIZZIEs, I take stock of a decision a year ago, to show Disney Cars to Kiren on TV and it has led me to do this. That's why it is called KIREN TOYS ;P
