Sorry for taking so long for posting my loot from Japan. It’s so massive that it’s taking forever to take pictures of it and it’s took forever to type out the list. I can’t even fit it all into one photo. It’s impossible, that’s how much stuff I did get and that’s how much loot I got right now. Compared to how much I spent last year, it’s like night and day. This is one long post on all my loot from Japan. So be ready, I do recommend it!!!

The format on how I did in this loot is the same way I do with all my trip and convention loot. All the prices are shown in Yen for this loot. I think that is the main reason it took forever to type this out as it is a massive amount of loot. Trust me, it’s extremely massive.

Figures:

When it comes to getting figures in Japan, I couldn’t help getting a few. Wonderfest there were figures being sold everywhere and in Akihabara, I can always find a deal. During this trip, I was able to find a ton of rare figures to great deals on figures. One of the figures in which I find hard to get is Alter Revy (Black Lagoon). I can find her on Ebay but she cost way too much. I was able to find Alter Revy at Lashinbang in Osaka. I was also able to get some good figures such as the Wonfes released Miku Hatsune Figma, not one, but two of them. I found an old figure such as a Ruri Hoshino figure from an old anime called Nadesico. Some figures Japan is such a great place to buy figures and I sure went all out when it came to figures this trip compared to last years trip.

Total Cost: 207238yen

Okay, I do admit that I went a bit overboard during this trip. Over $2000CAD spent on figures alone, I went a bit overboard. Getting 50 figures is a bit much and I only counted the amount I got when writing this post. Still, I got some good figures and will be doing photo shoots on them real soon. One of my fav figures that I got during this trip is Alter Fate that is pretty hard to get for a good price. In Japan, figures I see for cheap cost so much online. Being able to find Revy figures in Japan was pretty amazing as I thought to myself when heading to Japan I wouldn’t be able to find a Revy figure but this trip, got 2 Revy figures and I found one fo the rarest figures around. Some hard finds cost a bit but worth the money. Now, time to figure out where to put them…

Model Kits:

Going to Japan, I can’t help but get some Gundam models. Some of the model kits I barely fit into the box that I used for shipping. I consider only buying a bit but I never expected that I will go crazy. I even bought Tokyo Green Gundam Model. I don’t think I’ll be building that anytime soon or any of the model kits as soon as I finish the ones I have in my room already. Now adding these kits, I have 14 model kits that I have to build. Great…

I got some good kits during this trip. One model kit that I wanted for a long time that I finally got was the MG Sazabi as since I was a kid. Now, I finally have it. Buying model kits in Japan is a lot better buying it here in Canada. As model kits here are sold for double the price or even triple the price. I’m pretty happy that I got some kits during this trip to Japan.

DVD:

When I went to Japan, I wasn’t planning on getting any DVDs, then I saw the price. When walking around in Japan, I found that most of the DVDs were pretty expensive. I only bought DVDs that were pretty cheap. I do say Lashinbang is one of the cheapest place to get DVDs and is where I got all of mine except the K-On Bluray.

I got some nice DVDs durring this trip. Most were pretty cheap considering how much DVDs cost in Japan. I would had bough the entire set of Lucky Star if it wasn’t that expensive.  I bought the H2O DVD set cause I saw it for cheap. To me, it was a good deal and I do love the anime. Also was able to find a DVD of Mizuki Nana live concert. As some of you know, I am a Mizuki Nana fan and I couldn’t help but buy it. I believe this was the newest one out and I bought it for a good price. During my trip to Osaka, I bought the first volume of the K-on Blu-ray. I just bought it on random impulse. I had a lot of those throughout the trip.

CDs:

I bought quite a few CDs throughout this trip to Japan. I noticed when I was writing this post I left 2 CDs out of the photo as they were hidden under a ton of stuff. I decided to just add it to the list. The 2 CDs missing in the photo are Silver Forest Reincarnation and Candy Boy Bring Up…Love.

I sure went overboard kind of on CDs. I somewhat had gotten into the Touhou music a while ago. I don’t listen to them a lot though compared to other music. Still, I bought quite a few of them and some I like and some I just bought cause the cover either looked nice or has a nice picture of my favorite characters from Touhou. Some of the Touhou CDs I bought at Melonbooks or over at Comiket when all the music circles appear on Touhou day of Comiket. When in Japan, I reminded myself that I needed to get myself a Mizuki Nana CD and an Uverworld CD as I’m a big fan. Sure enough, got both newly released CDs and they are both limited editions. I got the Girl Next Door CD as I was hooked on the theme song to the game Tales of Vs. It’s so cool. K-On CDs was a must on list to get in Japan. I bought all the CDs that was released at the time when I was in Japan. When I saw a Lucky Star character song pack, I just bought it without thinking. Also bought the Comiket special edition Nanoha Side and Fate Side CDs released at Comiket. I latter saw them in stores for double to triple the original price. I’m glad that I lined up in that insane line of Nanoha. Totally worth it. As a Vocaloid fan, I bought the Vocaloid CDs Supercell and the Project Diva Soundtrack as I was playing the Project Diva for the first half of the trip before switching to Tales of Vs. All the CDs were worth the money I spent. Time to listen to some.

Dakimakura:

Got quite a few dakimakura during this trip. By far dakimakura’s are one of the most expensive items I bought on this trip. They are pretty expensive and usually they run for around 9000yen or above. I would love to by some of them or most of them but the price for one is just too much even for me.

Lucky Star Konata and Kagami Dakimakura (from Kyoto Animation Shop) – 9000yen

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A’s Fate Testarossa Dakimakura – 20000yen

Melanbook Dakimakura – 4000points (Not yen, but I used points)

Dakimakura Count: 10

Total Cost: 75500yen + 4000points

I got quite a bit of dakimakuras during this trip. One of I didn’t even need to pay for it at all. I used points saved up in my Melonbooks point card. You get points everytime you buy something and a point card holds the points. Then exchange points for goods. In my case, I saved 4000points (which is a lot) and got myself a free dakimakura. I love how the point cards work in Japan. Anyways, I was also able to get pre released stuff at Comiket. I got myself the pre released Saki and Code Geass Dakimakuras. I must thank Aaron and Tim for helping me get these items. Something that I laughted about is the Saki Nodoka dakimakura. Aaron told me that they even put in the words “smooth” on the package. I was also able to get myslef a rare Fate daki but it cost me a good 20000yen for it and that hurt my wallet. I also found something I thought I never would find, an official Lucky Star daki. They sold it only at the Kyoto Animation store in Kyoto. I was able to go to the store and buy the dakimakura. I know a bedsheet isn’t classified as a daki, but it’s somewhat like it. Still, it was a good great at the Nanoha booth. Now the hard part. I have one pillow and 7 dakimakura…which one to use…

Manga:

If you go to Japan and not get any manga, check you brain, something must be wrong. I bought quite a bit of manga for this trip and bought some manga that I need to finish some series I have. Also I can’t read Japanese, so why did I buy it. I will learn some Japanese soon, so this will be soon some great reading material. For now…I look at the pictures…

I bought quite a bit. I do also know after buying the Lucky Star manga that there was such thing as a Gamer edition of the manga. I didn’t know that. I just bought it because it was Lucky Star. I also bought a few doujin manga. It’s still manga in a way. What I did get that was on my list unlike most of the manga I bought was the Nightmare of Nunnally manga. I bought volume one of the manga last year and now I finally completed the set. The manga ends at vol 5 I believe. A manga I couldn’t help but get is the To Love Ru manga. One look at the price of the manga, I couldn’t help but get all 15 volumes of the manga. Sadly, right now I just need the last volume to complete the set. I was able to get the petit nendoroid of Yuki Nagato with the bunny headphones. I wanted it since I heard it was out. I got that limited edition set with volume 3 inside for 2000yen and I got vol 1 and 2 for 800yen for both. I also did enjoy the Vocaloid manga and seeing that Kei did one too, I also couldn’t hold myself back. Now it’s time to figure out where to put all these manga.

Games and Game Accessories:

Bought some good games and gaming accessories. I saw my Blazblue joystick is one of the good finds. Now I finally have a joystick for the PS3 that I can use.

Total Cost: 45700yen

Got quite a few games this trip. I was able to get Touhou 12 and I have to say it’s so hard. It’s harder than the other games in the series. I would also add, Zun’s artwork is improving. Well, not going to dwell deep into it. I’ll talk more about Touhou later. I also got the new Touhou 12.3 which is an expansion to Touhou 10.5. It just adds a new interface and new characters with new stages and music. Overall, the same game but fun as hell. I got some official PS2 games too. I was able to get Melty Blood AA First Print Edition hours before I left Japan. I also got a PSP game called Tales of Vs. Being a Tales fan, I love this game and I am still playing it right now. It’s a really fun game once you get a handle of it. One of the biggest things I got was the Blazblue Joystick. I have to say, I need a Joystick nowadays. For some reason, I just can’t play with the controller anymore. I must had gotten used to playing it with a joystick in Japan arcades. Finally, on to the PS2 Trigger Heart. My main reason in buying it is that Nendoroid. It’s just so cute and so cool. I wanted it for a while but couldn’t get it as online sold it for an extremely expensive price and official online stores were sold out of it. So I’m pretty happy I got it in Kyoto when I found it. Some might think why did I get Type A. Well, Akihabara Channel is one of my favorite Japan English blogs besides Danny Choo. I read that he will be attending Comiket and selling his game. So I went and was also able to meet Kouji in person. It was pretty cool. Now, time to put the games into the pile of games I have yet to play.

Magazines:

I love to buy monthly mags. The thing is if I import them they cost a lot here. I rather just buy them there.

Megumi Magazine Special 10th Anniversary Edition – 990yen (x 2)

Megumi Magazine August 2009 Edition – 990yen

Newtype August and Sept Edition – 1240yen

Nyantype – 780yen

Magazine Count: 6

Total Cost: 4990yen

Some might ask why did I buy 2 of the special anniversary edition. Well, I got two cause I plan to use one and the other I keep and to be never opened. Gamers had a promotion going on that day and I bought 2 and it came with 2 posters. Which the posters are Nanoha and to promote the new movie that was coming out soon. Got some Newtype and the new Nyantype. I haven’t looked at them yet but when I do have time, I will look.

Monthly Manga:

Monthly manga, I really never looked at them. Well, I bought them for 2 reasons. One, Lucky Star. Two, Nanoha. That’s pretty much of the reason.

Media Mix August Issue – 880yen

Compace Sept Issue – 680yen

Lucky Star X Haruhi – 2000yen

Monthly Manga Count: 3

Total Cost: 3560yen

I couldn’t help but buy like a small amount. Lucky Star being on the cover is a major factor. Also the Compace has Nanoha Vivo comic inside. I always wanted to see what is the Vivo comic is about.

Artbooks:

One thing I did in Japan is get a boat load of Artbooks. Stack them together in one box is a bad idea as they get really heavy. I learned that last year. I separate them to different boxes to lessen the cost of shipping.

I bought a few artbooks. When heading to Japan, my goal was to get a few artbooks. I mostly wanted Nanoha artbooks as I’ma  fan of the series.

Wallscrolls:

Got a few wallscrolls in Japan. I never thought I would buy this much as it is. Still, wallscrolls to me last longer than posters sometimes. So it was pretty worth it buying a few.

C-ClayZ Aya Shameimaru Wallscroll – 12000yen

Touhou Cirno Wallscroll – 3000yen

Tony Taka Wallscroll – 1500yen

Mahou Shoujo Lyeical Nanoha The Movie 1ST Wallscroll – 3000yen

Da Capo Side Story Wallscroll – 2000yen

Lucky or Unlucky Wallscroll – 1000yen

Wallscroll Count: 7

Total Cost: 25500yen

I was thinking on getting a wallscroll or two in Japan. I didn’t expect myself getting this much. I was surprised at myself when I got the C-ClayZ Aya Shameimaru wallscroll. The wallscroll alone is bigger than me. It’s rare to see a wallscroll that is taller than you. I love it though, the art on it is amazing!!! Another wallscroll that I love is the Nanoha movie wallscrolls. The movie wallscroll with all the characters is from Comiket and it cost around 3000yen. The Fate wallscroll is also hard to get as well. I found it at Lashinbang in Ikebukuro and bought it without another thought. Now, I just need to figure out how to hang these wallscroll up.

Posters:

I bought quite a few posters. Currently most of the posters I got are all rolled up and I’m unable to put them in the picture. It was hard enough unrolling the Kara No Kyokai posters as they took around a good 30 minutes to unroll and tape on the floor. I’ll just list the posters.

Kara No Kyokai Movie Posters (Movie 1 to 5) – 7500yen

Comiket 76 Tony Taka Poster – 1500yen

ToraDora Poster – 100yen (Won in UFO Machine)

Type-Moon Witch of the Holy Nights Poster – 2000yen

Neon Genesis Evangelion 1.0 Poster – 300yen

Poster Counts: 24

Total Cost: 33800yen

I bought too many posters. It was hard enough to ship them back without having them damaged. I say the Nanoha A’s DVD posters cost quite a bit. Still, worth it as I’m a huge fan of the series. The K-On posters that came from Kyoto Animation in Kyoto are three different kinds. I was lucky to get all 3 of those posters. The plastic K-On posters are pretty nice and I got two of them. I got the movie posters of Kara No Kyokai at the movie theater when I watched the 7th Kara No Kyokai movie. It was pretty worth it but when carrying 6 posters back to the hotel was hell. Now, time to figure out where to put these posters on my wall…

Doujinshi:

When it comes to Japan, buying some doujinshi is a major must. Since I can’t really name all these doujinshi. I can surely say that I got a ton. Also, I don’t remember who ordered a doujinshi by Lily Lily Rose. If you did, please email me so I can send you it.

Doujinshi Count: 87

Total Cost: 78300yen

I bought a ton of doujinshi this year. I think I doubled the amount I bought last year. I bought some popular circle doujins too. I got most of T2’s doujins during my trip and together I think they cost a good 11000yen. I think the only T2 doujin I’m missing so far is the Clannad T2 doujin. I also made it my goal to buy most of Plums doujins. Plum doujinshis mainly focus on the Nanoha series. Also most of their doujins are H but their art is just amazing! Got a few Miku doujinshi as well. I also went for some Touhou doujinshi. One of my fav circles does Touhou doujins too. LightRight does amazing art in their doujins. I love their cover art too. Most of these doujinshi that I got were mostly bought at Comiket or at Melonbooks. Comiket I consider is a cheap place to get doujins but the problem is that they don’t accept credit cards, cash only. Melonbooks I consider a great place to buy doujinshi as I buy quite a few doujins and has a ton of doujins always in stock too. Best of all, they accept credit cards. Either way, I love getting doujinshi in Japan compared to getting it here in Canada as it cost a ton.

Comiket Bags:

Comiket always has bags that they give you along with your loot. It all depends which booth you go to or which dealer you go to. Also, it determines if they still have stock of the bags. It seems a lot of people in Japan who goes to Comiket cares about the bag they get with their loot and holds it in a way to protect it from Damage. I got quite a bit in Japan too. I got bags such as C-ClayZ bag, K-On offical bag, Tony Taka circle bag, Type-Moon bag, and many more. I got tons and carrying them throughout Comiket can get annoying and tiring, but totally worth the trouble. Most of these bags came with the loot I buy at Comiket and others some people give out to the crowd for free. I also like the doujin circle bags such as LightRight (The pink bag with Yuyuko on it at the top of the picture) as it was made differently. It was a fabric made bag. I just love Comiket bags!!!

Plushies:

Got plushies during this trip. Also I got a special plushie in Akihabara.

GoodSmile Company Mascot Plushie – 2000yen

Lucky Star Kagami Hiiragi Plushie – 2000yen

Lucky Star Pig Kagami Plushie – 2000yen

Vocaloid Miku Hatsune Plushie – 2500yen

Vocaloid Miku Hachune Plushie – 2500yen

Touhou Cirno Plushie – 2800yen

Plushie Count: 6

Total Cost: 13800yen

I got the GoodSmile Mascot in a store in Akihabara. A friend pointed out and when I saw it, i quickly bought it without thinking. It was the GSC mascot and when I saw a friend of my Len-Vesper has it, I couldn’t help but get my own. Also got some plushie at Comiket. At Comiket, GSC released the Vocaloid plushie and touhou plushie. I have to thank Aaron and Tim for helping me getting the plushies at Comiket. Last year at Comiket, I got myself a Konata plushie but didn’t get a Kagami one as they sold out of her. This year, i was able to get her in Kyoto Animate. It was a good find and now I got the set.

Rare Stuff:

Rare stuff to hard to get stuff. I can’t really categorize this. All I can say, these are great things to have.

Signed Lucky Star Portrait – 10000yen

Cardcaptor Sakura Art Cell – 6800yen

Autograph art from Akihabara Festival – Free

Rare Stuff Count: 3

Total Cost: 16800yen

Got some hard to find stuff in Japan. Something I never thought I find is the Cardcaptor Sakura cell art. I bought it without another thought as CCS holds a special place in my heart as it was the first anime that got me into anime. The Lucky Star portrait was found in Tokyo. I bought it was it was signed and it was Lucky Star. Most of the rare buys or all the rare buys are all just impulse buys I say.

Random Things and Comiket Goodies:

In Japan, you can get random things. People hand you things to you buying random things. I bought and got quite a few random things. The random Comiket stuff were Nanoha Tshirts, to Touhou towel to the MIO BOWEL.

Total Cost: 89500yen

I spent a lot on random things. Comiket is mostly where I bought it. I got the Mio bowel at Comiket with a K-On set that came with K-On chopsticks, spoon and forks and Yui’s little clapping instrutment thing. I even got somewhat festival like clothes. I got Lucky Star Konata (in a wedding dress) festival clothes and K-On Ritsu as well. I would had gotten more but I decided not to as they cost around 8000yen each. The Blazblue loot consists of towels, fan and art book. I do like the towels though. Other loot like the Hidamari Sketch loot has a small book with a Tshirt and a cup. I also got Itashi car stickers. Comiket sold a lot but cost a lot. I only got 2, one that says Vocaloid System and the other having Remilia Scarlet from Touhou on it. I got these Wooden Plates that has these anime characters on it. Got around 20 of them lying around and I don’t know what they mean. If some does know, please tell me. When in Japan, people tend to hand out things. I got a ton of free fans just walking down Akihabara and a lot of people just give me these ads about some new game or anime coming out or even a sale. Some random things are promotional items that poeple give me. A cool random thing I bought was Touhou drinks. I did not drink them yet. As I’m scarred of openning it. I might open it someday but not at the moment. Time to figure out where to put all these random goodies!!!

Cards:

Some cards I got in Japan. I got some point cards which is pretty hard to get if you are a foreigner.I have to thank Tim for helping obtaining these point cards.

K-On Promo cards (x8) – Free

Code Geass Telephone Card (C.C. and Shirley) – Free

Lucky and Unlucky Telephone Card – Free

Weib Schwarz Nanoha Deck – 1400yen

Total Cost: 1400yen

I got the entire set of K-on promo cards. You can get one when you buy K-On goods at Gamers and Animate. You get one card for every 1000yen you send on K-On goods except for DVDs and CDs. I was albe to obtain the entire set  of K-On stuff. I also got telephone cards. These telephone cards came with things I by. The Code Geass ones came with my Code Geass dakimakura that I bought at Comiket. Point cards are one of the hardest things to get in Japan. To get a point card, you need an address in Japan, which as a tourist, you don’t have one. Thanks to Tim, I was able to get an Animate Point Card, a Melonbook Point Card, K-Book Point Card and a Gamers Point Card. Point cards are useful getting free stuff to saving money. I used my Melonbook point card a lot and was able to save up 4000points to get myself a dakimakura from Melonbooks. Having a point card is also pretty useful and makes a great souvenir. I got a deck of a card game called Weib Schwarz. My friend told me to play it with him but the thing is, I have no clue how to play it. My friend who has a limited knowledge of Japanese struggles to read the instructions but somehow we played a bit of it. I still don’t understand how to exactly play it.

Dollfie:

My most expensive item I got in Japan. I got myself a Yuki Nagato dollfie. A lot of people took a while to convince me to get one. Also I find compared to what my friends have, Yuki looks a lot better.

Volks Dollfie Dream Yuki Nagato – 60000yen

I don’t really know how my friends convince me into buying this dollfie. I just got it. Oh well, I like her though. I would had got Fate dollfie as well but the price kinda turned me away and having 2 dollfie is a bit a much. I’m satisfied having Yuki. I don’t think many people have a Yuki dollfie. Now I gotta find a stand for her and a chair for her too.

Total Amount Spent on Loot: 878928yen

I spent a lot for this trip to Japan this year. I did spend almost 900000yen during this trip to Japan. You can say I went a bit overboard for this trip, but I have no clue when would I ever go back to Japan. So I do say, spend now or never.

Shipping hurts me. I spent a good 350000yen on shipping in Japan. Shipping 28 boxes home is expensive and I used EMS as it’s the fastest and safest way to ship. I know 28 boxes is a lot of boxes but I needed it as I don’t want a box costing me over 50000yen and being heavy as boxes do break if the content inside it is too heavy. So I separate them into many boxes.

I consider this loot is my largest loot to date. I mean, it’s massive. I don’t think I ever in my life spent that much in a month. Well, it was a trip and I kind of went out of control when it came to shopping in Japan. Now, with so much loot comes the total room reorganization. I have to clean my room as it is currently a mess…a giant mess. I hope I can fit everything in my room…
