What Treasures Did Everyone Find?
« on: September 04, 2007, 10:27:03 am »
So, just as the title says: what treasures and all-around rare finds did any of you come upon this weekend? I know for myself, I always look forward to the Vendor Hall because I know I will find something that I have yet to come across or just never expect to see. This weekend was no different because I found something which stood out and made my purchasing year.
I found Moi dix Mois' DVD "Scars of Sabbath". Never seen it or been able to find it, but I found it there (at the huuge music booth). The price was steep for my wallet, at $65, but totally worth it. And better yet, not only did I find that awesome treasure, but the guy who works there is awesome, and pretty much engaged me in a musical conversation for some time, followed by playing nothing but Moi dix Mois for the rest of the day.

Yeah, I was happy. ^_^

I also saw a Zeiram figure from the movie "Zeiram". I did not even know these existed, but there it was, in shining glory. I didn't buy it, but it was good to know, haha.

So yes, post your awesome discoveries!

Honestly, there wasn't much I saw this year I couldn't live without, then again, I knew whatever I made would need to go paying off bills. Though Nekopan was a great treasure that laid just across from my table. Hmmm, chocolate cupcakes inches away.

But it was fun just to look. Shiny gunblades was my fav find...and the gladius sword. ^^

I was very happy to get myself some Chi-chains.



The J-rock vendor was cool, but sadly didn't have any Maximum the Hormone. :( I did end up buying other stuff too, like a Chi plushie (YES!), Ed (FMA), Rei/Asuka plushies and toys, some Death Note merchandise (had to have the note book), and some other miscellaneous stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I was REAAAAAAAAAALLY tempted to buy a Miyavi concert DVD but it was like 70 bucks and my dad says I shouldn't splurge like that so I didn't get it. The jrock booth seemed kinda ridiculously overpriced, though. I mean, 20 bucks for a full-sized poster?! wtf, man. And if I could, I would've totally bought the complete "Peace and Smile Tour 2004" DVD set but it was 100 bucks and I didn't have the monies. Did anyone else see it? It was in the jrock booth and it was a huge yellow DVD box thing. Really big. And full of goodness I want *angsty face*

I regret not buying those Death Note bobble heads [blind box] and I went back on Sunday to get one and they were all sold out D: And in the artist alley this one girl was out of Dante bookmarks! Arghhh

I don't know how rare my item was to find, but I finally found a DBZ power level scouter. I always wanted one from when I watch DBZ on toonami as a kid.

Let's see... What did I buy...

Yuki Nagato 1/8 Figure, $70 - My Yuki-love was too great to pass this up. x3 I had to borrow money to buy it.
Yuki Nagato Nendoroid, $39 - This was adorable and yet again, my Yuki-love made me do it.
Saber 1/8 Figure, $30 - It wasn't too expensive and I adore Saber so I bought it.
Ama (Shuffle!) Gashapon, $2.30 - It was very cheap and although I was hoping for Primula, Ama's cool too. I came back later to get another one but they were all gone.
Rider (fate/stay night) Gashapon, $6 - I'm a sucker for gashapon. x3
Emiri (Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) Gashapon, $6 - I was hoping for Yuki or Tsuruya, but now I have all of the Haruhi girl characters in School Uniform.

I think that's it. :3

They had the Rena and Shion figures at the con? >:o They must've sold them by the time I got there. If I saw them, I would've bought them instantly. x3

Only thing I bought was the complete Noir box set, mainly because I didn't really have a whole lot of time to wander the dealers room looking at stuff to buy.

Though while I was helping tear down the dealers room one of the artist alley ladies came up and said "You cosplayed as Greed, right?" and handed me a Greed sticker she and her friend made..I thought that was awesome. Thanks again if you see this ^-^

I saw you, I actually was like "OMG MARTEL!" and you looked..but I was piratey at the time. I only wore Greed on Friday night and Saturday...and I didn't even notice I wasn't wearing the full thing until I was to busy to grab the rest from my room. Had no bracelets and I was wearing pirate boots instead of my normal shoes for him, haha.

spending a hell of a lot of money on objects instead of food...priceless XD
*sigh* I bought a moogle plushie (for my mom, she loves it XD), many goodies from Nekopan (Those ladies are angels in the kitchen, their food was so heavenly *overly dramatic weeping*), A naruto side bag, 5 mangas (which was silly of me... dumb siren's call T_T ), POCKY!, discovered strawberry Ramune (my new favorite), and I got the first free sketch from applegeeks ( I will treasure it forever! )

WHAT?!  there was Higurashi stuff?!  WHEN WHERE HOW.  I missed it alllll.  Except for the books that Kinokuniya was selling.  I bought some of the manga.  Wheeeee.

As for me, I was ecstatic to find Gangan trading arts figurines!  I think I was the only one who bought them too!
And I was finally able to complete my Kodocha manga collection, as I found the coveted (and out-of-print) volume 10 that I was lacking!  Hooray!
I also love my SOS brigade belt that I bought.  And the angry Ikkaku Madarame plushie. <3

I was sooooooooooooooooooo happy to find a send-away Ribon Furoku Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne wallet!!! I mean 1) they're send away offers so extremely hard to find on sale, 2) It's Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne which is older and not well known, and 3) I was JUST eyeing this wallet on yahoo! Japan auctions.

I wondered who that was, I have selective hearing loss so when I'm distracted I'm half deaf. I'm sorry I missed you on Saturday. Saturday morning I was Martel (pre-lab 5) but I had to change for the Haruhi Suzamya Dance Party.

Yay for Martel! Sorry about being so brain-dead about that. It has been a while since I watched that part of FMA. Hope you had a great time! *pst by the way, I was the artist with the watercolors.*  ;D

Ahh, I love your art btw. Your Koi fishes are awesome and I would have bought some if I wasn't limited on how much room I had in my luggage, I had to take a grayhound home so I was almost overloaded with just my luggage.

I do believe I got the last vibrating Mokona, and It's the first plushy I've boughten. And I bought 2 naruto figurines, and the Eve figurine from Hawk and Ananth $35 well spent.
