Convention Goodies

Browsing around the cosplay and conventions section the thought came to me "I wonder what other people buy when they go to cons?" So~ What do you guys usually bring back with you from an anime convention~?

Like I said there last time I went I bought catears,posters,collar and chain leash (because my friend bought cuffs and I dunno what I was thinking lmao x//D) and some pocky and ramene~^_^

I always spend a ton of money on doujinshi and figurines, usually hundreds of dollars.

this was my haul from the last convention I went to

I still haven't been to a convention. :|

Whenever I go to cons, I normally bring back more figurines than my wallet would prefer... but as an impulse buyer at a con, it's terribly hard to resist. I also like to go to where all of the artists are and buy prints, since some of them are absolutely amazing and I feel that I should support them. And every now and again, I'll see something that would be useful as a part of a future cosplay, or something that would improve one I've already worked on. I always seem to run out of money too quickly, though, so at that point, I try to keep my eyes away from the Exhibition booths by taking photos with fellow cosplayers, haha.

I usually end up with some free stuff.

dynasty warrior figurines, got this awesome comic book and soundtrack signed by the artist/singer.
I rarely buy stuff at cons now since the once artist I always buy work from every year disappeared from the face of the earth a few akon's ago.

Cons give free stuff? like what?

Comic books, I mentioned the dynasty warriors figurines a bit earlier. They are one step above the gatcha machine ones. I also got a dead or alive 2 oppai mouse pad one year. There was a room in the hotel that was funded by the convention and it served free food 8am to 8pm. Movie posters and t-shirts [sadly, I don't think they do that for certain cons anymore] That was how I got my 'Drag Me To Hell' t-shirt and poster set.

I normally look for figures or things that peek my interest. And if I can find things with the characters I like on them also

Usually tons of doujins, I only go to Comiket and usually first follow a set of circles to check, then start checking every stands one by one and buy mainly on impulse.

Here is my haul from NatsuComi:

Depends on the con. I gotten comics, manga, pussy. Yes... a man with a camera and press pass can get you the good stuff. I bought po-ju collection vol, Doujin and doujin softs at Comiket, garge kits, models, a 4 foot gundam head, games and other faggotry.

i usually buy ero-figures if i got some money, if not, just some accessories like naruto headband, fan etc

Same here. D:
And cons in here don't sell explicit stuff.

I haven't been to a con either, but the only things I plan to buy are doujin music, posters, and t-shirts. I really want that Foreground Eclipse t-shirt from this years c82. If I'm lucky I might be able to find one off of ebay.

Gunpla is my wallet's worst enemy.
