The vendor rooms was pretty much all jacked up prices this year, for figures anyway. Got some good deals on manga though, but I really only go for the figures. >_>

Last year was my first time going and it was a little better, with more deals on figures, my friend tells me the year before there were a lot of good deals. I guess the prices have been going back up though ;(

Oh, and holy hell, there were a lot of bootleg Nendos, I don’t know if I even saw a single legit one the whole weekend.

I rarely trust the prices at these events – it’s a great time for vendors to up the price and make some extra $$$.

Yep – I might go on Sunday too, so who knows! lol I’ll most likely be carrying around my Canon 5D MKII. =D

If I recall correctly from last year, the figure prices tend hover around what one would pay online. Figmas and Nendos are another story, though, as they are more popular among the “sucker” crowd. Personally, I was disappointed by the dismal prices of the models present — they were marked up wayyyy higher than the internet prices. The worst thing is, after paying around 35 bucks to get in, I’m usually compelled to buy something, as if wasting money is the obligatory thing to do. Oh well, I’ll probably spend the dough to catch up with the few manga series I’m collecting.

I’ll be going on the Sunday, so who knows — maybe we’ll bump into each other without knowing!
