Going to Natsucomi, and mail ordering on Fuyucomi. Help me?

Soo
I'm going to Japan next summer (haven't been their for 2 years). This time, I am deciding to go to Natsucomi (Comiket). I can speak Japanese fluently (Literally Native Fluency), but my reading of Kanji is like 5th grader. I am planning to go their to buy every muv-luv franchised stuff AGE has.Just some questions though.

Do they enforce age restrictions on buying 18+ things? (In other words, do they check whether you are over 18 when buying adult material?) (I'm...Asking for a friend :D)
How long are the lines? (I'm probably going their by 6-8 in the morning, or on the first train like a hardcore otaku)
Should I buy one of those catalogs?

How does mail ordering work? (Planning to do this for Fuyucomi, since I am going to miss it)(I can have the stuff shipped to my relatives house in tokyo)

First of all, XD good excuse underagefag. Not like it works but nice try.
Depends are you atleast 14 or non Asian?Theyll probably let it slip.
Lines are unbelieveably long, even taking the first train won't get you past perhaps the fourth batch of people,hardcore otakus come the day before but cannot camp as loitering is prosecuted and illegal.
Yes.Knowing where your targets and preferred circles is extremely helpful, also they give you a good list of what you may want to buy

Dunno.

Nope, never. It's actually rare for Japanese to ask for ID.



This is what I saw when I got there at 9 AM but it's actually pretty fast compared to events of that size. Though for the lines of the circles inside; don't wait for the ones located on the outer walls, they are popular enough to pick up their works in Akihabara right after the event.



Download the electronic copy the moment it is uploaded (two weeks before) and start planning! You can buy one of the physical catalogs when you get there but be sure to start planning the moment that CD is up!



If they are sold at stores like Toranoana or Melon Books, then you can just buy them and have them shipped to your relatives. Sadly, anything that's only sold at the event is outside of your grasp unless you can get a friend to buy it.

Thanks. I am *older then 14, I am half Chinese and Japanese. If I get questioned, I'll just speak english and be like "What" "I don't understand" and pretend I don't know Japanese lol.

Thanks for the info. I'll actually probably go on the first train line at 5 o clock in the morning, and wait 5 hours. Apparently AGE merchandise (corporation) and some of the doujin stuff I want (Which I will need to hide from my family like a goddam ninja)is pretty popular.

Damn, That's really hardcore. The day before. I mean, I know they do that for video games, but coming the day before but not camping? Sounds batshit insane to me.

Oh, damn. Age I think does sell their stuff in their online store, but the majority of their stuff is all exclusive to comiket. No friends in Japan T.T

I'm actually going to Comiket this winter and the following one, as I have done for the past two years. Assuming it's nothing that will sell out in the first few hours in the corporate area, I could probably get them for you.

Actually I found out Age has a online shop. I will probably ask you later though, once I find out what's actually gonna come out and how much they cost.

Mod Note: Topic has been moved from Anime General to the Cosplay and Conventions section.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Lol, I just realized I could wear a mask or helmet, and pass it off as cosplay. The heat on the other hand...
I'm fairly tall, so no one will notice.
