Purchase of Anime magazines

I buy just about every Megami, and G's Magaizne that come out, although the special ones i.e. Festival,Comic,Anime I only get the ones i prefer, I got the Ef-a tale of Memories, and I do you the mousepad, in fact right now I am, and I've been looking for the G's Festival Anime Vol.2, but have had no luck, I might have to special order it while i still can.

I stopped buying magazines a while ago, only because I don't have the time to go to my local Barn's and Noble, and the fact that they never fucking update the damn magazines. They're either seasons or years apart in terms of keeping track of anime. Newtype as far as I'm concerned is the only magazine that keeps up to track as much as possible.

3 things:

1: is the mouse mats the only reason you buy this magazine and
2: where do you buy these? i mean internet, shops?
3: i don't buy anime mags cos there is no where that sells them in my city

I would pay at least $200 for that thing (and use it proudly).

That is some seriously swanky merch. I feel the urge to buy some oppai mousepads now... My current pad is a gray rectangle with peeling corners.

On the topic of magazines, I bought a Megami once, but it was a little pricey for a few posters and a whole lot of text I can't read. I also picked up the first two issues of the new Yen+ magazine - which is excellent, by the way - but I think I'd rather just buy the manga when they come out instead.

1: Somewhat. The magazine must also be covering a title in which I have interest.

2: Kinokuniya. I am not sure if the afore-mentioned bookstore can be found in your local area.

3: Maybe you can request to import them at a major bookstore?

1. No, theres the articles etc, for those of us who can understand them, and other stufff, posters etc, and some of the G'Festival Vol's came with a pillowcase 'dakimakura' i have the Shana, Nanatsuiro Drops, and Little Busters! one.
2. I get them at my local japanese book store, sometimes i have to special order them.
3. Sorry man, that all i can say........

I used to know a guy who would order magazines online. He would order two copies, actually. He'd take the posters and stuff out of one of the magazines and keep the other wrapped, for collecting or whatever. Those magazines came with so much stuff. I remember one month, before Code Geass finished its first season (in that long time between episodes 23 and 24-25), he got a magazine that had a ton of Code Geass stuff. We're talking posters, little trinkets, I think maybe a watch or USB drive, something like that. Pretty much, the stuff is what you'd be buying for the price.

I thought about doing what he did, but I tried it a while back with Newtype USA, and it backfired. I wanted to get cool posters and DVDs with episodes of new series, but it was all shit that I didn't care about in the least. I know the same thing would happen if I tried to get some foreign mags. Hell, I don't even know who the people in Gambler's mags are. What's the point of having that stuff if you're not a fan of the series? Then again, maybe if Haruhi season 2 ever comes out, or a good Gundam series, I can place some orders then.
