Beyond the Block is “where the street meets surreal”
In its truest sense, weekends are meant for lazing around. It’s the only time of the week when you can just lie around the house, munch on good food, bed rot and do the bare minimum without feeling guilty. Some may spend it elsewhere—maybe with friends or loved ones—but still in pursuit of a little ease and chill.
If you’re looking for exactly just that, then TOKI’s Beyond the Block event is the best place to be. Mark your calendars on Sunday, June 30, 2024 and head to RONAC Lifestyle Center in Paseo de Roxas, Makati, for a breezy one-day fair brought by collectors for the collectors.
From 12PM to 11PM, a diverse collection of sneakers, streetwear, art toys, collectible figures, sports cards and trading cards will be up for grabs—giving collectors, sneakerheads and lifestyle enthusiasts a good chance to expand their interests and collections.
Why you should go
For one, there’s a good number of merchants, introducing wider choices for people who like to explore new things, get into the toy-collecting scene or see what nice fits they can score for a budget. The lineup includes R Collectibles, Total Dibs, XyHobbyzz, Toyzone Express, Hubbyte, The Odd Yeti, EZ Bricks, Chunky Cutie, Brickphils, RIF Manila, Trilogy Merch, KentuckyCardsBBN and Clamor for Cards.
Getting your hands on the good stuff is made more exciting by a P5,000 TOKI voucher—promised to a lucky winner from those who buy any item from the participating merchants.
More so, one of the anticipated highlights would be DJ Big Boy Cheng’s Limited Edition China Blue Exclusive Funko Pop collection, which you can get signed by Boss Bigs himself upon purchase.
In true Beyond the Block culture, there will be music, a photo booth, games and food that will surely keep everyone entertained and delighted throughout the day. Not only that, PICKUP COFFEE—one of the food stalls at the event—will be giving away free coffee for anyone who has a PICKUP COFFEE mobile app account.
As promised, it will be a day filled with non-stop thrills, insane giveaways and coolest collectibles, so put your best shoes on, tie them tightly, and head to where the chill vibe settles.
