@@dinosaurus4189 I always tell people if you cant show suuupper early to park a block or so away as its cheaper even if the sun is hot..Its honestly not something I think of much as im local 😅
panels should be like disney was in 2014: they make an app, you have, say, 3 panel slots a day you can sign up for and 2 waiting list ones. Couple of days earlier it opens, people pick the ones they want to attend. You can see live what panels are full. Then on event day one hour before every panel they see how many attendees signed up and send a mesage to waiting list in order of signup (or maybe first to those who dont have any panels yet). If there are STILL open places that panel appears green on schedule and they allow walk ins. If it's full you know and don't waste time on lines.
@@LynnHermione that sounds great- do they have someone at the panel doors checking each app to id or something? I could see that taking forever though.
F!SH booth was so great! Amazing artwork! I bought a T-Shirt from them. Also I wish I would hAve gotten the full sized Osaka and Konata poster. But, I got the free sticker instead.
This is too real, btw I was one of the lucky few who managed to get a Ryoko Kui signing ticket at the Kinokuniya booth on the first day (there were only 25 available). The avalanche of people that rolled into the booth shortly after I got it was crazy and apparently artists and exhibitors left their booths to stalk, hide, or loiter around the booth just to get the opportunity. I met an exhibitor who hid in the bathrooms in the Exhibitor hall with a bunch of other people to avoid security just for those tickets. Truly insane...
@@friedcorm I was following a bunch of the drama on the AX discord channels and it did not seem like a fun time. Booths doing these sort of things as a idea sounds like it should work but seeing it in practice (between this and the higurashi booth fiasco) makes me think AX might clamp down on booth purchase = ticket later.
Really cool you where able to play some games of Wixoss and thanks for sharing your experience, reminds me again of how much I want to move to the US 😅
Is there really any point shopping in exhibit hall if everything is industry and all their products are sold online? Without the small vendor its like paying to window shop at the big companies.
@@missingno81 the small vendors tend to just be resellers from the big ones at marked up prices, and better to just buy those items cheaper direct from japan 99.99% of the time. The industry products you can sometimes find scalped figures etc for cheaper or at least msrp. This isnt the usual but 'does' happen. I spend most of my money at the Artist Alley since yeah most shopping in exhibit is over priced or wildly available. There are some smaller vendors in exhibit doing original stuff its just seems usually to be car decals, funko looking things, or "bulma but DD boobs" and not very appealing to me. Window shopping or seeing items yet to come out is really cool though, and as mentioned some items that are scalped (like tcg items or certain figs) can be found at the industry booths msrp. I think the hall is just interesting to walk around and see how crazy the booths can be as well.
@@Tamanon It was Flandre Scarlet from Touhou by ALTER is it so hard to find one that it was recently released but now its tough to find and another one was a 18+ nsfw by Mizuki illustrated by Gan. I try not to spend but sadly yeah.. :S

When wixoss worlds collide!
I like this live robbing of Tamanon!
the bait works 👀
I agree with your comments! My only gripe is the parking is difficult because the lots behind the convention center were only available to vendors.

I got $5 indoor parking on Grand in between 8th and 9th St

@@Tamanon unfortunately I am too broke and don't even own a passport, lol 😂
@@WeebInvestments69understandable 😅

also you can get most of the same stuff cheaper in Little Tokyo. For Gunpla there is a hidden gem in Chinatown called Neo Happyland
@@hitachicordoba sometimes jungles prices are actually decent particularly on preowned for figures.
@@Tamanon same with Book Off, I love a good bargain!
@@hitachicordoba Ive found bookoff to be pretty over priced 😅
素晴らしいですね🎉🎉
@@user-iq7nh3tn7w thank you for watching :)

Found a figure that I wanted was worth $600+ after retail but I manage to get one for $400
