![DSC02654 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2366/2526786223_35459f4b32.jpg)
Many are wondering how much or what I exactly bought at the Anime North convention I attended on the weekend. Well, since I rushed the Anime North day 3 post. I decided that you deserve more. So I’m going to talk about what I about what I bought at Anime North aka Anime North Loot!!!
Figures:
![DSC02673 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2415/2527607896_8773ae67b2.jpg)
These are my figures that I purchased at Anime North. Some I got great deals and some were major finds. Conventions are great places to find goods that you can’t find anywhere. Sometimes dealers will bring out their entire stock of stuff to sell to us okatu!!!
During Anime North, I bought a total of 8 figures.
Alter 1/8 Scale Xenosaga 3 Telos: $40
Alter 1/8 Scale Burst Angel Jo: $50
Bome Fate Stay Night Rin Tohsaka: $20
GSC Nendoroid Mikuru Asahina: $25
GSC: Mabinogi Nao The Navigator: $30
Konami Busou Shinki Arnval: $35
Kotobukiya 1/8 Scale Tales of Phantasia Arche Klaine: $45
Kotobukiya 1/8 Scale Urutorii: $40
Total figure cost: $275
This is a lot of money for figures. To me, I got great prices on them, where normally, I wouldn’t be able to get. One of my major finds is (Belela-san pointed out) was the Alter Joe. It’s pretty rare currnetly. The thing is, when I was at the convention, there was a few of them. The one I have was the cheapest of them all. One of them sold for $80. That turned me away quickly. Another find that I was happy about was the Alter Telos. Not that rare but great price. I usually see her for $80 to $100. I got her for $40. The other figure I bought were at respectable prices. I was surprised on how little nendoroids being sold at Anime North. It was either I have it or something I see real common. The most common ones are the Death Note ones. Now the Mabinogi Nendo was good find. Finally, a nendoroid that isn’t a Death Note of a Haruhi. Not a bad price too. That’s it for figures.
Manga:
![DSC02739 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2069/2526804627_f6882c89d1.jpg)
You think I won’t go to a convention and not buy manga. WRONG!!! I bought around 12 manga this year. There was a booth that sold 5 manga for $20 or $5 for 1. it was a great deal. Other places were US price and have 15% off. It was a nice price.
Aoi House Collection 1: $10
Vol 1-3 Candidate Goddess: $4 each
Priceless: $3
Vol 1-2Trigun: $4 each
Toki Koro: $2
Alice on Dealines: $9
Yubisaki Mik Tea: $9
Star Ocean: $5
Sky Girls: $5
Total: $63
I love manga. I love to read them too. I like buying manga more then downloading them. In conventions such as Anime North, manga can be found with deals. Some manga i got have great deals. I love 5 manga for $20. I love how $10 I can get the Aoi House collection 1 manga. I love this manga!!!
Doujinshi:
![DSC02747 [Desktop Resolution] censor](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2047/2527627070_7907288fa6.jpg)
In recent years, dealers have started selling doujinshi. The thing is that they cost a lot of money. The doujinshi have caught my attention over the last 3 years. I have bought a couple of them at Anime North.
Rozen Maiden: $15
Code Geass: $85 (for 5)
Lucky Star: $15
Gundam Seed: $25
Total Cost: $140
Doujinshi cost a butt load of money to buy here. I would love to wait till my trip to Japan. I just can’t wait. So I just bought a few of them. The doujinshi took a huge chunk out of my Anime North spending budget. I still love my Gundam Seed Destiny Lacus doujinshi!!! I was lucky that I was able to get the Lucky Star doujinshi because it was the last one. Great grab too. Some of my doujinshi are adult and some are just regular pairings.
Pillows:
![DSC02675 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2116/2527608028_08615c7692.jpg)
I bought pillows at Anime North. I was planning on buying plushies but scraped that plan when I saw the pillows of Nanoha!!! I quickly bought it. I only bought two during the convention since they sold out on Saturday.
Nanoha pillow: $20
Rei pillow: $20
Total pillow cost: $40
These pillows were good finds. They sold quickly and at a good price. Good find. I quickly bought the Nanoha pillow when I saw it. It was the second thing I bought at Anime North. I love it!!!!!! I wanted the Fate on but someone beat me to the punch!!!
Pillow covers/ Bed Sheet covers/ Dakimakura:
![DSC02709 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2088/2527609852_2cd413cc47.jpg)
Some people loves this stuff. I do too, when you get some for free. Yes you hear me!!!!! I got two of my dakimakura for FREE!!!!!! Dakimakura are nice but cost a lot for one. I bought one and bought a bed sheet of Love Hina Naru!!!!!!
Love Hina Bed sheet: $20
Dakimakura: $50
Both Haruhi Suzumiya Dakimakura: Free!!!!!!!!
Total cost:$70
Yup, I got the Haruhi Dakimakura when I was at the Nominoichi at Anime North. Nominoichi means Anime Flea market!!!! I bought a CD and the guy just doesn’t want the dakimakura so he gave them to me for free. That was a great time. I also got the Love Hina bedsheet at the Udon Comics booth. They gave me a deal on it and took off $10. I was pretty happy about the great deal. Now on to the dakimakura. That I got it at the yaoi and yuri doujinshi booth in the dealers. It was pretty cool. I quickly bought it when I saw that half of the dakimakura was already gone. They were sold out on Friday. So good thing for me…
Extras:
![DSC02706 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2023/2526789257_7cb174bf00.jpg)
![DSC02742 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3259/2526804785_c6c5ef34f7.jpg)
These extras I like to call them is a category for these items I have no idea to put them. Most of these are bought on impluse…Meaning I just bought them because I felt like it.
Ef-First Fan Disc: $20
Lucky Star Unbrella: $20
Lucky Star post board: $10
Lucky Star Alarm Clock: $15
Total Cost: $65
Most of these I say again are random purchases. Still, when it comes to Lucky Star, can’t control myself on buying it…unless I already have it. I don’t regret buying this stuff!!!
Cel Art:
![DSC02689 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3210/2527608822_19e78245ba.jpg)
Well, I only bought one of these cel art and I must say, worth it!!!!! I lvoe it and I was also hoping to get Zero one but they ran out. I was lucky enough to get the C.C. cel art.
Code Geass C.C. cel art: $10
Total: $10
Well, this was a great buy. It’s real nice and I was real lucky. I purchased this at the anime flea market. I bought as soon as the seller told me they had C.C. I quickly gave her my money and I was happy!!!
CD/ DVD/ Games:
![DSC02701 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2188/2527609448_79567d0765.jpg)
![DSC02698 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/2527609290_b7695e350c.jpg)
Well, at a convention most people buy DVDs, CDs or games. I bought some during Anime North. Some of them are great finds that I was able to get. Some I got for a great deal too!!! and some, I would never let go.
Touhou Imperishable Night: $20
Eternal Fighter Zero Memorial: $30
Halko Momoi CD (autographed): $20 AND TO ME, IT’S PRICELESS!!!!!
Bouken Desho Desho? CD: $5
Shrine of the Morning Mist Complete Set: $20
Total: $95
I got great deals on this. The Aya Hirano CD itself was great. $5 for a CD. I love it!!! My autographed Halko Momoi CD to me is priceless since she sinced it infront of me and I got a hug from her. EFZ is a game where who is better, Kanon, Air, Clannad, who knows…I hear it was good and when I was buying it, another guy wants it, so we ended up getting a great deal on it!!! My Touhou game, hmmmmm, well, friend influence… The DVD box set of Shrine in the Morning Mist was a cheap and cool set. Got all episodes for $20. That’s a great deal!!!
Model Kits:
![DSC02678 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2008/2526787755_3f7556c594.jpg)
Model kits, people in conventions sells them at a great price. There was this booth at Anime North that sold Gundam Model kits at AMAZING PRICES!!!!! They sold me a Destiny MG for $50. Originally, I see it for at least $75 or more at other places.
MG Destiny Gundam: $50
Total Cost: $50
I was lucky that I got this gundam model. It’s a steal at this price. I found out about that booth when my friend bought a his MG Crossbone Gundam for $30. I was like no way it’s that cheap. It was when he took me there on Saturday. I quickly bought Destiny. I love this unit!!!!! Too bad they didn’t have Strike Freedom of Gundam F91.
T-Shirts:
![DSC02714 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2077/2527610128_8ab24c9928.jpg)
I love shirts. My Grandmother is getting angry about my shirt purchases. Well, I can’t help it. They look cool. I love my t-shirts that I bought at Anime North. At AN, they even gave out some for free!!!
Anime North 08 T-shirt: $15
Halko Momoi T-shirt: $20
Manga T-shirt: Free!!!
Cowboy Bebop: Free!!!
Total Cost: $35
I bought the Halko T-shirt at the concert since I saw it and it looks real nice. Every year at Anime North, I buy an Anime North T-Shirt. This reminds me that I had been there that year. It’s like a tradition that I haven’t broken. Ever since my first Anime North. The Manga and Cowboy Bebop T-shirts were given out at the Starstrucks booth. The same place where I got my Code Geass and Lucky Star posters. Since they were we, I just took them.
Posters:
![DSC02721 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2209/2526790151_c5a3535b4a.jpg)
![DSC02719 [Desktop Resolution]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3206/2527610422_0b6f805677.jpg)
Well my posters…I gothem for free. I just took a huge amount of them. Since they were free, I just took some…
Lucky Star posters: Free!!! Have 3 of them…
Code Geass Poster: 10 of them, and guess what, it was FREE!!!!!!
People was grab them as fast as they can so I took a few for my friends and for myself too!!! I just randomly grab a bunch of them. I love free stuff!!!

Well, on to the final part of this. The artist alley artwork that I bought at Anime North. The artwork shown here is what was selling at Anime North. There was a lot more but I don’t have enough money to buy them all!!! I would love to buy some still.
Pins: $30 (20 pins)
Rukia Art: $15
Poster: $10 (4 posters)
Naruto art: $35 (Original art in meaning the original original…)
Dears Art: $10 (like above with the naruto art)
Gundam 00 art: $5 (3 art)
Konata Art: $7 (final copy!!!!!)
Bookmarks: $5 (10 bookmarks)
Total cost: $117
I love artist alley art. It makes me want to draw again. I haven’t drew any anime since last year. Maybe I should start again. Anyways, Artist alley works are always amazing!!! I love my Konata artwork. Good thing I bought the last Konata art!!! The bookmarks were 50 cents each. The original works are cool. It helps me with how the art is done and how it is drawn. I love artist alley art overall!!!!! Spend quite a lot of money in artist alley. The art is worth the price.
Total Anime North Loot cost: $960
Yea, I know, I went way too overboard this time. I spent nearly $1000 on anime goods. You guys would probably say what the heck was I thinking spending that much. Well, half the time my mind was thinking on how good those goodies would look in my room!!! Still, with so many deals on anime goodies, who can resist. Can you?
Well, that’s it. The loot talk. If you want more. The post a comment and tell me…More

OH MY GOSH, Nice loots. Artist Alley is FTW and it’s like my hang out place lol.
When I was at the Yaoi + Yuri booth, the dakimuras were already gone
.
Very nice loots. I was there at anime north 2008 too. I was also at the concert, so I might have actually seen you!
I didn’t go to the dealers booths until 4:00 in the afternoon, and I barely found anything I wanted. Just a handful gunslinger girl things.
You should have a guide with tips or something on where to go, so I could get some goodies too
.
Saku: You need to be there early to get teh dakimakura…
I was lucky when they had only 6 of them left!!!
Fumika: Try FanExpo next then. It’s in August and I’ll be attending that convention too. That have a massive dealers room and if you want to meet up, I would be happy to guide you around since I have huge experience at these conventions.
I wish I could have saw you too. I was the guy with a megatokyo Baka t-shirt…
O wow.. I DID see you. Lol I just read your other posts as well. It appears you might live near me as well hahaha.
Fumika: Too bad I didn’t see you. I live in the Scarborough area in Toronto.
Well, at least the next convention is FanExpo. Might see you there!!!
Hope to see you there too… I was complaining that Anime North had lackluster Dealers. It appears maybe I might have just been a n00b.
I actually live in Markham, so I’m almost always in Pacific mall as well.
Fumika: I work across from Pmall… So I can go almost everyday…
Anime North maybe in 2000, but not this year. They had a good amount of dealers.
FanExpo will have tons of different types of dealers…
ps: I just thought I might add I got directed to your site because your anime north post became a feature news item on Danny Choo’s site.
OMG!!! Almost 1K worth of goods!!! XD
So are you gonna hold those pillows at night or what? XD
awesome loot, congrats on getting linked by Danny! Now come the millions of readers! hehe
I’ve got the same Alter Jo she’s awesome. i’m jealous of your Dakimakuras thats the one piece of otaku merchandise i’m still missing but it’s a little weird for a girl to be buying on. They need more Male ones.
gosh, the hole in your wallet must be very big. but hey it’s a once a year thing. ^^;
Prim3: Yes, I spent 1k on anime goods!!! Like Haruhi, yes…
Dancing Queen: It’s cool being linked by Danny. People seem to love dakimakura…
Maybe I should post something about them…….
Gordon: Nope. I still have money left over for my trip to Japan.
WOah! This is mighty extreme…
I’ve never spent anything almost CA$960 (equivalent to Php42K here which is a mighty crazy amount to spend on hobbystuffs..)… that’s because I haven’t been to hobby events. If I were to attend, I’d only bring Php5-10K(or CA$114-228).
And it’ll be a problem when moving out of parent’s house in the future…
Lovely collection you have there…
Samejima: I went too over board this year…even for me…
Mostly because of the deals that the conventions has…
Suki: Thx!!! Now makes me wonder what would happen at Comiket…
Lol you bought so much :p
But lots of nice things , and cheap figures :s
But NO LOVE FOR THE CUBE , GO BACK AND STEAL IT PLEAAASE :p
*Reads total cost*
… *dies* @_@
Nice goods!
I’m looking forward in reading your trip from Japan.
1k is a killer for me even though “YOU CANNOT HOLD BACK!!!!!!” lol
*bookmarked your blog* ^^
Fumika and Rin, we should meet up at Fan Expo ^^
James: I want the Cube too. Your not the only one.
TDOMJ: The cost killed me too. Oh well, now time to think about the Japan budget…
Optic: I’m looking forward to the trip. 2 months to go…..
1K killed me too…this is what happens in conventions…
Glad to see more readers…
Saku: Yes we should meet at FanExpo!!!!
Hi .. nice stuff ^^
ya AN is fun
I actually bought one doujinshi myself this year from the artist alley…
A sasake x naru one >.<
hehe
I wanted more, but I didnt see any :S
Yes we should
. I’m all up for having company to attend fanexpo! Will be cool to meet people with similar interests and have a shot at getting some amazing stuffs!
I don’t have any other friends who are enthusiastic about anime, so I usually end up being all alone
great loot!
I’m not sure if the pillows are licensed print, since the ones in here are not ^^; but that
Omg, you spent way more than me. XD (you had more money than me in the first place. x3)
I only spent around $170 XD
Jenny: There was 2 doujinshi both at the dealer room. You couldn’t mess it…they yelled yaoi!!!!!
Maybe everyone who plan to go to AN next year, let all of us meet up!!!
Fumika: Some of my friends aren’t really into anime, but into gaming. Others are into it. It sucks going somewhere alone. I know how that feels too. Fumika, I might cosplay at FanExpo. Just in case, look for a Vocaloid Len. Maybe all of us (Saku included) and others are free to join too.
Ron~: As long as I get to hug my fav character, I don’t really care.
Momo: You know that already……You saw my stuff in the hotel…
hmm strange, my comment got cut =\
[...] world of pillows! Hopefully Rin will provide a review soon enough too after looking at his recent grabs [...]
now that’s what I call loot. nice get with the autographed momoi cd XD
Ron~: I don’t how did that happened…
Rain: Yup, completely worth it. Now on to Japan planning…bet it’s 10x this amount!!!
Doesn’t spending $1000 on loot feel good? Though whether you should be doing that since you’re heading for Japan soon is rather questionable, lol.
Also I’m so jealous that you have a Halko Momoi signed CD.
Adun: I have different budgets…
I seperate them…
I have an Anime North budget…
I have Japan budget…
Hehe, I spent only 100 at Fanime, though that was probably due to the lack of time I spent there
. Though it looks like Anime North has much more to offer in terms of a variety of goods. The Rukia picture is sweet xD, I wish I had one.
[...] the same concept as my Anime North Loot. I just wrote out a detailed post for you guys. I have converted the price to dollars instead of [...]
Is there any chance you know the names of the artists for the Rukia, girl with the straw hat in the grass, and pink-haired girl in the pink dress art prints? Much appreciated. =^_^=
