Most of my purchases are on an impulse, but I go into the dealer room searching out the specifics first.  This year I want Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! for DS, a Hinata or Sakura keychain, some manga, and at least one Galaxy Angel DVD.  Things I don't expect buying but might consider are gashapon figures and plushies, CDs, and doujinshi.

I'm not very big on buying stuff in the Dealer's Hall, but I'll browse around for any obscure things that I'd like to have... Kaiji/Akagi/Fukumoto memorabilia would be freakin' awesome.  I just got into Kaiji and Akagi and would love some merch  *w*  Maybe some Gurren Lagann stuff too.  Possibly some doujins...

I'm aiming to spend a lot in the Artist's Alley this year, though.  Fanime's AA is pretty formidable, and I'm sure I'll find tons of artists I like there.  I want to splurge on them XD Support the artists!  Hell yeah!

Nina Star 9

- My annual pin and plushie
- Anything cute that I can use that catches my eye (pencil cases, mechanical pencils, cell phone straps, etc.), typicall I don't have much luck in this area
- Hope to find a good CD again (two years ago I managed to somehow pick up an Amano album... what luck I had!)
- If there is anything else. Doubt I'll find much merchandise for Kino no Tabi or Red Garden, but if I do, I may or may not buy it.




I never buy much.

Along with my MS-14 Gelgoog, maybe a new different Zeon Flag, a Japanese victory headband, some Sharingan contacts, and some key chains.

I'll definately be on the lookout for Katekyo Hitman Reborn stuff. It's my new favorite series and I'm in love with the characters so I want to get goodies from that. Aside from Reborn...I dunno. My problem tends to be that my favorite character from a series isn't the most popular/doesn't have as much merch made of them. I tend not to buy much manga and dvds cause I can get them outside of the con, but I'll probably have a list of series I need to update in case I do decide to buy. I love jrock related stuff, so maybe something there...but if I reign in my impulse buying to just Reborn and even there, just Mukuro, I probably won't go insane...PROBABLY *sweatdrops because she knows her own spending habits*

I spend a lot of money in Artist Alley.  Every year I start off finding someone to draw an anime style picture of me like this...

After I do that I try to find something really interesting in AA.  Then I go buy silly t-shirts and stuff in the Dealers room. 
Sometimes I'm glad I became a teacher.  Other times I wish I had simply become a ninja.

Magedark

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! Maybeee
Suzumiya Haruhi stuff (Maybe if they have the Light Novel that too)
RvB stuff if they're there.
Random clothing maybe :)

Gundam Wing doujinshi is at the top of my list like it always is. XD  (I swear, I'm still obsessed with that anime after seven years.)  Other than that, I don't really have a strict list.  Maybe I'll go for more plushies and Gundam models this year (there's an odd pairing).  Oooh!  And I'll browse Artist Alley more thoroughly this year.  I've never really stopped to really look at anything in there, usually because it can get crowded and I don't want to block anybody's way or view. >_>;;

Because I am a dorky fangirl, I am going to be looking for D.Gray-Man stuff, and because I am a masochist, stuff with Daisya.

But other than that, I am a simple creature and whatever catches my eye.

Everything is on impulse for me each year, but I notice I just mainly buy plushies/figurines. If I somehow miraculously save up the money though, I'd like to invest in like a $200 Gundam lol.
