Gamers Collectors and Otakus Are All Heading to SM Cyberzone Geek Con DX

If you've been looking for something to do this weekend that isn't just another scroll session, this is it. SM Cyberzone Geek Con DX is running until the end of May, and it's shaping up to be one of the biggest mall events the Philippines has seen for the geek and gaming community. Whether you're a competitive card player, a sim-racing obsessive, a seasoned cosplayer, or someone who just finally wants to pull the trigger on that figure you've been eyeing for months, this is your moment to go all out.

Gaming Gear That Actually Levels You Up

L-R: ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75% in White and the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 laptop, both available at DataBlitz

Let's start with the setups. The ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75% keyboard is built for players who want analog precision in a compact form, no wasted space, no compromises. Pair it with the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 laptop and you've got a rig that handles AAA titles, content creation, and everything in between without flinching.

L-R: Thrustmaster T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator and the Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha Flight Controls Lite are also available at DataBlitz

For sim fans, the Thrustmaster T818 Ferrari SF1000 Simulator is the real deal, a near 1:1 replica of an F1 wheel that makes every lap feel elevated. And if flight is more your thing, the Honeycomb Aeronautical Alpha Flight Controls Lite brings cockpit-level immersion to your setup. These are the kinds of finds that make visiting electronic stores and gadget accessories stores in person so worth it. You have to feel the difference yourself.

All of the above and more are waiting at DataBlitz and in SM Cyberzones in SM Supermalls. They are stocked well with the kind of hardware that turns a basic desk and simulation setup into a proper battlestation.

Trading Cards and the Pull Culture Is Alive and Well

Nothing hits like cracking open a fresh pack in the middle of a mall. The Pokémon TCG ME2.5 Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes 6 Booster Bundle is exactly that rush, perfect for those chasing rare Mega pulls. The One Piece Card Game Double Pack Set is for Straw Hat stans building their first competitive deck, while the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist's Advance Booster Box is for duelists who take their synergy seriously. The Gundam Card Game Iron-Blooded Orphans 10th Anniversary set is also one to watch, built for fans who want strategy with a side of nostalgia.

L-R: Pokémon TCG ME2.5 Mega Evolution Ascended Heroes 6 Booster Bundle is available at DataBlitz, while the One Piece Card Game Double Pack Set is available at Courtside.

And yes, Dragon Shield sleeves are a must-grab too, because what's the point of pulling something rare if you're not keeping it mint?

You can score all of these at either DataBlitz or Courtside in SM Supermalls, your go-to for trading cards, accessories, and everything game-ready.

Comics Worth Keeping on Your Shelf

The Archie Comics 85th Anniversary Game Galaxy #1 variant is the kind of collector's piece that looks even better than it reads. Absolute Green Arrow #1 with Rafael Albuquerque's cover art is a fresh, bold entry point into DC's current run. And Avengers: Armageddon #1 with the Chip Zdarsky promo variant is already the kind of issue that'll be worth significantly more in a sealed bag a few years from now. These aren't just reads. They're standout additions to any shelf.

L-R: Grab our copy of the Archie Comics 85th Anniversary Game Galaxy #1 and Absolute Green Arrow #1 at Filbar’s at the SM Supermalls near you.

Filbar's at SM Supermalls has all three available for purchase, with pre-order options open for those who want to lock in their copies early.

More Than Just Shopping

Here's what makes Geek Con DX something bigger than a mall sale: it's a genuine hangout for people who actually care about these things. SM Supermalls has always been the go-to for things to do in Manila indoors, and this event is a prime example of why. Clean, fully air-conditioned, easy to navigate, and packed with the stores that actually matter to this community. Whether you're coming from the north, south, or somewhere along the MRT line, there's likely a participating SM mall near you where the event is probably in full swing.5
