Mondays ARE great days for sales...although do not be fooled by mere 20% off sales!! Dr. Comics & Mr. Games in Oakland has a 30-40% off sale for EVERYTHING in their store, including Manga Graphic Novels that's coming soon!! <3 <3

I'm not sure what I'll buy... the only things I really want are figurines. If I can find an Akira wallscroll, that would be great. Also some cell phone straps and a wallet would be awesome.

Anything Death Note. There's also some shows coming out on DVD (Tsubasa and Melancholy of HS) that weekend, so I'm hoping to get a good deal on them.  :)

Melancholy doesn't come out until the tuesday after fanime is over (5/29), but they're going to see if they can get their hands on it a little early for the convention. ^_^

Oh, I thought it came out the week before with Tsubasa, my bad. But I hope they get it early; it would be a great event for them to sell it at!

I spent $350 last year. This year, I'm gonna cut it down to under $100 if possible. I really want another wallscroll, but I'm running out of wallspace in my room. Maybe a plushie and some Negima stuff.

spending as much money on liquor and drugs as possible and the rest of it on those cute FF3 figures.

I think I'll buy all the kare kano.... since I already have the anime...
that or more anime..... hopefully I don't spend more than 200 dolla....

FanFicGuru

It's pretty funny, a lot of people are talking about spending less while I"m talking about bringing more.

lol.

btw, all you bargain lovers...

www.rightstuf.com always has AMAZING sales...no joke.

All legit, Region 1 DVDs and here are a couple of their sweet deals for just this week:

GitS: SAC (season 1 box): 50 dollars
R.O.D The TV complete boxset + 2 Soundtracks: 80 dollars
Gundam Mobile Suit Zeta: 50 dollars (May have to confirm that)

I don't work for them or anything, I just wanted to let you all know that there are some amazing deals on DVDs that you can get year round. ^_^

Kare Kano has 21 Volumes.

If you buy it at normal Borders prices, you'll be paying about 10 bucks over $200. Sometimes at anime cons you can get them cheaper, so she might actually make under $200.

FanFicGuru

And sometimes when you buy in bulk they give you a discount too. First 10 books= 5 dollars off, next 5 books equals another 5 off, final five books equals 10 dollars off.

Something like that maybe.

Quote from: "Otakuya"According to the ASOS video, the American Haruhi DVD release would be the same weekend as Fanime. If it's available, that's the only thing I'll buy at FC this year.
Seconded.

Now that AnimePalace is in the bay area, and I go to Kinokuniya regularly (and once in a while I order a bunch of stuff from Amazon Japan), I tend to get my fill of anime merchandise and whatnot throughout the year rather than all at once. The only thing I know for sure that I really want to look for is the Lucky Star manga, since Kinokuniya could only order me the first volume.

I'm always on the look out for UFO catcher dolls, but it's been a while since I saw much in the way of ones I really liked...

I'm going to be buying a crapload of stuff...I think I already listed some ideas...but most recently I thought about getting a nice Nagato figurine from Haruhi. Maybe a Haruhi bunny  figurine too.

Oh yeah, Haruhi girls=hawt.
