Today, I was at the Third Planet comic shop when a tall guy kind of slid past me at the racks. I looked up and thought, that is one tall comic book nerd. Then I noticed the huge tree trunk calfs and took a 2nd look at his face and I realized it was Yao Ming. He was there with a chinese guy in a shirt and tie who did some translating. I wanted to say hi, but I thought I should get something for him to sign first so I wouldn't bug him twice. I grabbed some free comic preview thing and asked the owner for a pen, but he shut me down and told me the store's policy was to not bother celebs and treat them like regular customers. I wasn't aware that Third Planet was such a hot bed of celebrity shopping...
Anyways, he went up to the counter with what he was buying and I didn't want to bother him up there, so I didn't even get to say hi. He bought a giant Transformer that had to be 20 or so years old and some other old toys. I saw the guy showing him a light saber that lit up and had sound effects, but it did not look like the toy kind with the retractible "blade," it seemed more like a collectible. It sounded like he spent about $1240 dollars.
5月21日的，原文大概是说：我在Third Planet 漫画店有一高个子经过我身边，我看了一眼心想这可是个很高的漫画迷，然后注意到那粗壮的小腿，就抬头看了第二眼发现是姚明。姚身边还有一个穿衬衣领带貌似翻译的中国人。我想过去打招呼，但又想应该先找好签名的东西免得麻烦他两次，去找店老板要笔的时候，他说他们店的忠旨是把名人当平常人看待，不许骚扰。
后来我看着他去柜头买单，我也不想在柜头去打扰他了，他买了一个巨大的TRANSFORMER（变形金刚？）可能是20多年前出的吧，还有一些别的老玩具。我看到那人向他演示一把光剑……
他好象花了大约1240美刀
变形金刚算上今年，一共21年历史。比较大型的直到1986年之后，也就是Rebirth那4集动画播放之后才出现。
不过2004年为了纪念变形金刚20周年出了制作精良且巨大的20周年特别版，估计姚明买的是这个版本。
1988年还是1989年日本把变形金刚的版权买了过去，出了变形金刚之名家（就是忍者）。
我也有变形金刚，大约是小学3年级的时候在幼儿园门口买的，那时候一套变形金刚老贵。我的是正版的，不知道现在值多少钱。只记得那个激光标签的颜色会跟随温度变化而变化，用手按一下就会变颜色。不像现在好多都是盗版，做工很糙。
那时候不知道怎么了，特别喜欢变形金刚。一天放学回家路过幼儿园，看到有人在门前摆摊卖变形金刚，我就一直蹲在那看。后来有一个家长给他小孩买了好几套。我突然很羡慕，就不蹲在那看了，站起来回家了。
回家的路上越想越委屈越想越伤心，就这么边走边哭，一路哭着回到了家。进房间后书包也不脱，就坐在墙角里哭，哭得那个伤心啊，简直是惊天地泣鬼神。很奇怪，这是我有记忆以来哭得最惨的一次。
没多久爸爸就下班回家了，问我为什么哭。
我当时哭得话都不知道怎么说话了，只记得嘴里一直念叨着：“别人都有，就我没有……”老爸果然很牛，竟然听懂了我说什么。于是二话没说，就带着我去幼儿园门口，随我挑了一套我最喜欢的买了。
后来被我妈骂了一顿，说300多块啊，可以买一辆很好很好的自行车了。
