There were also exhibition of other Star Wars collectibles and toys such as Disney Infinity 3.0, Lego, Funko Pop, and even scale models on display around the "box" that will be revealed once midnight hits.

As the countdown commences, excitement from all filled the atrium with the unveiling of the secret room, and it was pure geek heaven with the items on display like articulated action figures, robotics, lego sets, some are subject to pre-order due to stocks. I wanted to take a picture of them all however my phone died which led me to use my back up phones with poor resolution(sorry about that).  But you can definitely check them out live at the SM Mall of Asia until September 6!
