Sakura-Con 2012 - Merchandise

Right after the opening ceremony ended, I made my way towards the exhibitor's hall, where all the anime merchandise one could ever want is located. Even though I tend to keep my expenses to a minimum during cons, due to the fact that purchasing online makes more financial sense to me, I do appreciate and enjoy window shopping and seeing all the great merchandise and unique items the individual exhibitors carry.

As soon as you enter the exhibitor's hall, you come upon these censored girls. I guess it serves to get the attendee's blood pumping?

Endless walls of figurines and tables full of artbooks.

The exhibitor's hall is hands-down the best place to purchase Gundams and other unique products. The one aspect I like about shopping around at the exhibitor's hall, is the fact that one is able to actually see the item before making the purchase.

I couldn't resist the temptation of that Ranka Lee artbook, so I purchased it.

Nico Nico Douga live broadcast. I've always thought this was a pretty cool feature to have.

Do you use an oppai mouse pad?
