Crocs Expo Weekend

Slashing the prices from SGD60+ down to SGD20 or less, it's no big surprise that the Crocs Expo this last weekend is one of the biggest expos of the year. And, in my case, the longest queue I've ever had the pain of experiencing.

Here's the collage showing what everyone who went to the Crocs Expo went through:



Top-left panel shows the sign showing where the queue to the Crocs Expo is; posted everywhere from the Expo MRT station all the way to Hall4A.

Next is the queue to get in the Crocs Expo during Day 3 at around 9:30AM. With am extremely large turnout (and that is just putting it mildly), the queue had extended from the entrance of Hall4A all the way inside Hall3, as shown here. The queue "snaked" around Hall3 and the was quickly jam-packed by 10AM.

The last panel on the first row shows the reason people go to the Crocs Expo in the first place: footwear! Clogs, sandals, shoes!

The next two pictures show the typical scene after people got what they wanted; after grabbing all the footwear that they can get their hands on, people look for an empty spot on the floor and sort them out, keeping the footwear that they actually like and leaving everything else on the floor. The rejected footwear are then grabbed by the other people around who would then continue to grab any and all footwear they can find. Same cycle, continuously grabbing everything then sorting them out later. Well, talk about kiasu of the highest level! :))

Lastly, the dreaded payment queue. The queue was so long, it filled up half of the Expo Hall and reached the other stalls. I remember we were on the credit card payment queue at around 3PM; we reached the payment counter just before 6PM! Damn! Longest queue I've ever had!

Anyway, we got the black-red Athens (mens) and the black-grey Ithaca (womens).



So, is it worth it? I would have to say yes. SGD 100 is usually just enough to buy one pair of Crocs. This expo, SGD 100 netted us at least 5 Crocs! And if you came during day three, it was further slashed down to just SGD15! Do the math!

For those going home and looking for gifts or pasalubong,this would have been a goldmine! Hope you had you're share! :)

Ever wonder why prices have been slashed way, way down? We have thought of at least two reasons:

• Crocs stock plunges after big loss shocks Wall St (13 November 2008)


• In 3 accidents, soft shoes caught side of escalator (1 August 2008)

What do you think?
