They're pretty disassociated from online shops to order things from and so on. So the only way to get some items are conventions and those shitty little anime shops near them.

Got new sleeves, few promos, and custom mat in. got the card signed at AX by the producer for Selector after begging to see the preview images for LOSTORAGE after the panel, the designs are nice as usual shame Okada wont be back for it. Also the two books are nice, plan on getting the boards of all the ghibli movies.

jealous of those who got into the FLCL panel

anyone have any luck arguing with amiami?

my Okita arrived with a broken sword and amiami said they would only refund me 300 yen, which is what like 2 fucking dollars? I don't find that acceptable that I buy something new, it comes damaged and they won't even replace it

So is it normal to figure out I'm a Saberfag after spending unspeakable amounts of money on her figurines?
I was in denial at first but now I'd have to be insane to deny it.

No one think that FREEing is always awful. Their figures are overprice and their 1/8 suck, but that's all. Griffon/Penguin parade on the other hand.

Merch Total - $605
Events - $145
4 day pass - $55 (bought during Black Friday)
Parking - $20 (carpooled with friends)
Food - $60

Shit, I was even with last year on merchandise, but going to the events tipped me over budget this year.

>>143714474
Pretty much, that's how a shop up North has stayed in business so long with maintaining a store and doing the convention circuit. Even things like tapestries and posters go from $25-$35 to pre-order and so on, to $50-$75 each, more depending if the character is from a normie flavor of the month show.

>>143714436
Just checked him not seeing any symphogear.

>who don't know how to buy online.
That's the part about these things that worry me the most, that they'll pursue a hobby so far to spend $300 on a single figure, yet they cannot look online at all for these things. It just makes me wonder how these people really can function with being able to do all kinds of this crazy social media crap, but can't ask/look around online where to buy their figures and merchandise.

>>143714137

When I was in high school I went to an anime convention's swap room and got a JRPG worth over $100 with a trading figure that probably cost me $7. People really are that dumb sometimes.

I really don't think conventions are worth going to though, unless it has some seriously good guests like mangaka. They're a huge waste of money and excusing manga all the merchandise is overpriced.

>>143714913
Given shipping costs I could see going up to $200 give or take. But 900, it's true what they say about fools and their money.

I'm just not sure they had bikini lolis in mind when they came up with that saying.

It was forty bucks, $35 because my friend bought Nozomi with me. You don't want it. The guy who sold it to me is advertising his website on the back, but I couldn't tell until I bought and opened it. The material/picture is really nice, though.

the aforementioned naughty store was out of stock of the Kotori shirt that I actually wanted

>>143715040

It's a tossup. I checked prices online after last year's convention, and the differences varied. For the most part, though, cheap stuff (under $40) was sold for cheaper there, but expensive stuff was much pricier than their online counterparts.

Also if you don't like being around people it would be your goddamn nightmare. But if you look hard enough you'll find stuff that the elevens won't sell to us dirty gaijin online.

Most of the American-based dealers will sell stuff that you can easily buy online, but some of the shops sell books, magazines, and manga I probably wouldn't have been able to find online, or even have thought of picking up. One thing I got that I wouldn't have found on my own was a rabu raibu song book for piano.

I don't even play piano, but I might one day, and I want Snow Halation to be the first song I learn.

The Love Live jerseys are actually pretty nice and comfy. Maki's was sold out, and Kotori's was way too girly, so I went with Eli. I think I like her color scheme the most anyway.

Also, is the jersey still too weeb to wear in public or is it subtle enough?

>>143715849
I think it's subtle enough. The general rule is if it doesn't have any anime girls on it or any widely recognized logos, you're fine.

>>143715849
I think the Jersey is subtle enough, nothing on it gives anything away. People would probably just think it's some thing from your past highschool and not notice.

Anyone ever buy from otaku.com?

>>143716082
yeah con season gives me that old itch to try them out again. I haven't went in some years.
I think next year i'll make an effort and try and go, if only to gawk at the patrons

>>143716082

It was pretty good. Some highlights:

-Reina's autograph to go with Kumiko from last year
-Watching the premier of Love Live Sunshine with 1000 other people. It's like going to watch Star Wars opening night, and everyone in the audience is black
-Eir Aoi
-Hearing NANI SORE live
-Saw some WIP screens from Little Witch Academia 2
-Four days of cardio I wouldn't have done otherwise
-Bacon-wrapped hotdogs

I'll be grabbing tickets again for next year. It's fun if you're careful, unlike my dumbass roommate that spent +$1200.

>>143716710
>>143716843

I guess I'm not 100% sure it was me; the staffers that organized the line for the Trigger panel were retarded and made two separate lines. They tried combining them and the result was a mass of 1000+ conventioners following a snake line for like five minutes.

I bought/wore the Maki shirt because I couldn't find any Kotori shirts my size (all they had left was XL and XXL)

>>143716748

I wish I could have gone, but that was the same time as the Love Live Sunshine event. At least I got to see Haruka Tomatsu with her new band at the concert that night.

As far as california goes,

AX is a must
Fanime is the norcal AX
ALA is pretty decent
AC - Getting bigger and better
TItancon - First year was this year and was suprisingly good for a free con. but its a comunity college con.

You'll get ripped of at any con for really any merch. Some cons have bootleg stuff (pins and shirts and posters is what i mean) you can get for good prices, and I can usually manage to haggle with vendors on the last days with online prices to get good prices. but I only go to cons to mingle with people and DJ.

I'm jealous of AX since Otakon is just flat out horrible. Went downhill ever since moot wasn't allowed back in.

>>143717748
I wasn't able to go before 2006 but it was really going downhill by then anyway. The real charm of the convention scene was being able to go and see/hear about series you'd never be able to find out about otherwise. Torrenting and fansubs were already getting huge by this point so a lot of the mystery of "what else is out there" was already gone. Really anime conventions from the mid 2000s onward are all about the cosplay and industry licensing announcements. If you're not into cosplay, there isn't really much of a reason to go. Maybe it's worth going if you like to buy fanart, the quality of the artist alleys has certainly gone up, though the self-publishing/printing scene is pretty big now, you can buy a lot of those prints online. I started going to pax east in 2010 and I haven't looked back, my once-a-year convention trip is satisfied.

I think the most depressing thing was going to the Megatokyo panel in 2006 and the giant ballroom was only 1/3 full, and the "questions" to the panelists consisted of butthurt hambeasts complaining about getting trolled on the forums.

Both eupho collector's editions were $150 total, and it got you an autograph session with Chika Ansai. LL jersey was $60, and I checked last night, it was $89 at their store plus shipping. The art prints are probably more of a hassle online, plus I'm supporting the good artists, so whatever. Also I included in the total stuff I gave to friends that's not pictured.

Code Geass I probably overpaid, but I was feeling lazy.

Sometimes they get really good Japanese guests.

This year they had Shintaro Kago and the last couple years had some gay artists like Gengoro Tagame and Est Em. My biggest regret was not going when Usamaru Furuya and Natsume Ono were there but I was too young and inexperienced to travel from the US to Canada. I'm still waiting for them to get a couple great guests like that again to make it worth going to.

You can get them online for around $17 for 30 total.

I've wanted to see Kanako Ito for a while, still no luck on that front. Same goes for Akiko Shikata.

I also saw Kalafina live last time I was in Japan, was lovely. Just a pity their recent anime themes have been awful, fucking Kajiura being lazy as shit with songwriting. Their vocal capabilities are too good for such bland songs.

Anyway this is pretty goddamn off topic so I'll stop now.

they are fine overall, though they fail at some stuff, like hair shading/sculpting, I have 4 of their Elin and while their bodies are godly, the hair is prize fig level or worse

>>143720206
Mmm, true, true. Though I was quite happy with them doing Days at least.

I thought the Audience-Participation shtick on Go! was a tad overlong though.

Is that a fucking nuke?

Holy shit this is so wrong but at the same time somewhat amusing.

>>143711709
Does nobody tell the person who bought it for such ludicrous prices that it can be bought online for a fraction of the price?
I would sit around with amiami open on my phone and wait for someone to pay stupid amounts then tap them on the shoulder and show them how stupid they are.

I have these so far. I too one day hope to own them all.
Melda was my very first figure.

>>143722218
and at some booths, like GSC, they were selling things undervalue. Tama fig for 240, when the cards alone right now go for 100-130USD.

All the prize figures were at least 20-30USD mark up and I saw lots of people buying them. Some people are just retarded.

I guess I didn't answer your question about what they're like. They're all pretty nice figures. Those three come with multiple parts/poses. Hilda is a bit on the smaller side being only 1/8. But still cute. Wish she got more of a role in the series.

Melda was my first figure too. Here is a picture of her.

>>143722582
It's sad I didn't buy anything this year. At least last year they had nendo petits at reasonable prices.

what's buyfags consensus on high quality bootlegs?

>>143723028
Still shit.
Still not a fan.

Is there a reason why most of them are sold at such a low price-range? Pic related for example was released last year in August and is up for grabs at about 50~ Euros at some stores. They look great to me.

>>143722654
She looks good. Isn't she extremely rare these days? I've also seen some alternate versions of Yamamoto Akira with long hair which are apparently extremely limited.

>>143723028
If it looks good who gives a fuck.
If it's an obvious bootleg then it's shit.

>>143723028
Unless it looks and feels exactly the same it's shit, and that's not possible.

>>143720257
>>143720761
Thanks anons. Gonna wait and see what happens to their prices after release.

>>143723028
If they were high quality we wouldn't give a shit, but they're not so we do.

>>143723028
There's a chance it will look like a high quality prize figure, but the fact it's a bootleg and that it doesn't live up to the real thing is kind of shitty.

Some of them, like these, are exclusive to the YamatoCrew site's premium members. So they go for $150~

Some of them binned, however, like that Akira one with the gun. She's also rather small, only a 1/8 like Hilde. Since there are bigger and better figures most people didn't want that one I guess. I'm still looking to grab it eventually, though.

>>143711709
Did the proceeds go to charity?

Ah. That's nice. I wouldn't mind that myself.

Made something of a goal out of trying to get all the P4G Cast to sign my case for it. I've only got like, 2 or 3.

I want to meet Hocchan instead.

>>143711709
they dont call cons "cons" for a reason, everything is stupidly overpriced to trick the normies into thinking a massproduced anime figure is super rare.
