Do you buy your anime goods online or real life shop?

i buy most of my stuff online but only because ive only seen one in my entire life i was there two times and i bought stuff for there both times. so if i see one ill support it.

I mostly buy my anime/game merchandise from COEX (Metro Line 2, Samseong Station) here in Seoul, South Korea. ❤ I go there every Saturday! XP I only use services online when I am pre-ordering something.

I buy things in stores. Because I don't know how to do it online. Besides, I think its more fun to buy something you like in a store. I always feel happy when I see something that I like in an anime store.

Online rarely, if I do get any merch in person it's at conventions.

Though one store near me stocks some smaller anime-related items.

I buy online, and try to point out sales at the sites I shop at in this thread https://www.fakku.net/viewtopic.php?t=52504

I know of some small anime/manga shops nearby and I sometimes shop there too.

i only buy thing online once, it was an manga CD compilation.

Easy online, cuz it's cheaper and I'm poor

At first, I went with the local anime shop in the city, but it was pretty limited and pricey compared to the original Japanese prices. Online shops are much easier, assuming you live in the U.S., because of the efficiency, wide variety, ease of shopping, and usually the price is significantly lower as well (+ shipping). That said, if more anime shops popped up near my area with more inventory, I would definitely go there instead, but it's not like that's ever going to happen in the near future.

I buy in shops, after some time will likely be switching to online too ~_~

The only place here that has anime-related stuff is 'FYE' in the mall and I flat out REFUSE to buy anime DVDs from them. Merch and stuff I'll buy from 'em, but any DVD set they have there can be bought on Amazon for at LEAST $20 less. I've been checking. It's sad, really.

Damn lack of anime stores in the fucking South ..

[font=Verdana][color=green]I can only buy stuff online. There's nowhere near me that sells anime products.

Real shop,I never buy online cuz mainly, i just don't know how it works. Lucky for me, there's a few good stores that I can go for anime; although only one store is an actual anime store while the others are regular CD stores that has an anime section.

The only place I get anime and etc from is off of rightstuf.com becuase it's nicely priced and you don't have to wait long for it to deliver. (depending on which shipping method you choose)

I have a shop near my place, well, it's around 30mins by bus. I always go there to get my goods =)

[size=12]Mostly online but there is a shop that's 30 mins. away from me that I can buy my stuff from though. [/h]

Real life shop coz im too shy to buy a box of hentai...no wait...

No really i buy at a local anime shop...I only buy novelty items, and Figures...but if its online...then it must be a R-18 item :D
