Celebrating The Gift Of Life Now And Forever

As they are both Precious Moments fans, Eric Banana and Astro Girl reached an agreement whereby they will skip the commercialism on Valentine's Day and use the money saved to buy a Precious Moments figurine every year.

They had happily shortlisted a couple of figurines while window shopping... but their plan to buy them was derailed recently as they spotted an ultra-nice figurine which they both liked very much...

... titled "Celebrating the Gift of Life Now and Forever".

So what's the problem? Just buy right? Well, the main issue was the price tag. As it was a special edition to commemorate Precious Moments' 30th anniversary, and production was limited to 5,030 worldwide, it was a bit on the pricey side. While Astro Girl agreed with Eric Banana that the figurine was very beautiful, the Ministry of Astro Girl (MAG) was very unlikely to approve such an extravagant purchase.

In the end, Eric Banana worked out a deal with the MAG top honcho. To buy the limited edition figurine, Eric Banana has to agree to not buying any more Precious Moments figurines until they move to Punggol. This was partly due to the lack of space at Eric Banana's current flat, but mainly because the limited edition figurine is that expensive.

Eric Banana did manage to plead for a special concession to get one more Precious Moments figurine before the ban is enforced. This next figurine is an absolute must-have and will be featured when they buy it. (Note: Any sponsor out there who is interested will be most welcome :P)

By the way, the limited edition figurine is #2,028 of 5,030 :)
