Greenhills may once again be the center of geekery! Filbar’s to reopen soon!


Got a tip? Send it to us at manila@coconuts.co.


Once a upon a time, Greenhills was the center for geekery: Filbar’s was beautifully hidden in the center area of Virra Mall, there was a multitude of toy stores selling special editions, and the gem collection inside Greenhills Theater.

And then it had a make over and all of the above vanished. Sad.

Well, at least one of them is coming back. According to Filbar’s Instagram account, the iconic 36-year-old comic book store is returning to its first-ever location: Greenhills!

On Aug 8, Filbar’s will reopen its doors on the 3rd floor of Shoppesville in Greenhills. It’s perhaps the next best location at this time — Virra Mall has become the trendy V-Mall, while the 3rd floor of Shoppesville still retains and smells like its old school self!

To celebrate the homecoming of sorts, Filbars is holding a promo. Share your favorite Filbars Greenhills story by posting pictures on Instagram, and tagging it #FlibarsGH. We suggest, a photo of your very first comic book that you of course, bought from them. Or maybe, a photo of the action figure you never opened. Be creative!

Eight (8) lucky winners will be chosen by a random number generator. Four of those (4) will win exclusive Iron Man Unmasked Funko Pops, while another 4 will win exlucisve glow in the dark Hulk Funko Pops.

Winners will be announced on Aug 16.

Oh happy days!
