There is no upper limit to how much you can spend.

If you write that you want to join the $150 tier on your signup form (at the end, not as your joined tier), it's possible you could be matched with other people who also write that, instead of what you actually joined, if anyone does and it works for the event overall. The same goes for the $20 tier. Don't expect it though.

Anon I used a read only mail unfortunately.

>Additionally, you mention that you would prefer to [...] If any other people express the same desire, would you like to be matched with them [..]? I can't make any promises though!

If anyone else expressed interest in it then yes!

You really need to use an email that you can actually send from, remember you will need to send proof that you shipped your gifts! And there could also very well be other things that you need to be able to send emails about too.

I don’t understand why everyone dislikes them so much, it’s always so nice to talk to them. They’re so friendly and accommodating and when they come in with their cosplays, you can just see how passionate they are.

I had this happen at my last convention.
I'd already been really scared of asking people for pictures, but finally I got the courage, and then the third person I asked said no, and after that I only got one more picture through all of the convention.
I guess there weren't that many people cosplaying characters I cared about anyway, so maybe I wouldn't have taken many more photos anyway, but still.

What happened? Were you unnerved because the 3rd person said no? Honestly, don’t take it too hard, they could just be tired

Nooo don't fall off the board your so sexy aha

I got an email indicating Toys Donut Diner will be shipping soon! I'm excited. Has anyone who ordered DDC from the online MTO received theirs yet though? The delivery of that whole series has been so fragmented.

Did anyone go for Travel Kuma-chan? Pink was the most popular online but red and black are my favourite.

I hope they re-release the Fancy Border cardigans this winter

Oh wow I completely forgot about it. It was supposed to be shipped out in August, right? Yeah I never got mine.

>>10939187
>>Has anyone who ordered DDC from the online MTO received theirs yet though?

I received mine on the 16th. It arrived to my SS on the 9th and was shipped to me on the 10th.

I believe the MTO was originally scheduled to be ready in August put it pushed back to September but with several delivery periods continuing into October based on AP Harajuku's Instagram posts.

Pretty sure mine was part of the second delivery period.

I'm cosplaying Leon Kennedy and I would like to have a handgun for it. What are the general rules for prop firearms at conventions? I don't want to build a prop and end up not being able to bring it anywhere.
1 reply and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.

>>10939709
I knew a guy who made a very acurate prop of a M41A pulsse rifle for a con that didn't allow them, used it for the photoshots only, then took and printed a full-size photo of the thing and glued it to a flat cardboard for the con.
a.k.a. "having a cake AND eating it".
So, feel free to have a very realistic prop for the pics and a con-allowable one for the actual con.
>>
>>10939666

For the most part, so long as the gun has no moving parts you will get past security check without a problem. However, you will need to put in the effort to not seem like a sperg. Best bet is for you to have a woman with you waiting impatiently.
>>
>>10939666
Brother this question is ultimately solved by what con you are going to. Some cons are strict. Some are not. They all have slightly different rules. I have brought airsoft guns that were gutted and stripped down with no issue but had a dumb cop stop me about semi realistic non firing 3d printed props. So it all depends. Just be transparent with the con security and prop checkers because I am sure they will you a break since you are being dutiful and showing them what you got. Maybe try gluing the trigger into place so it can't move or at least stuff the inside of the barrel.
I am going as Leon Kennedy too soon so believe me there are a lot of fun props you can use.

What kind of shoulder holster should I get for a detective? to go under a blazer

Previous thread >>10803531 died from a lack of posts. Not all that surprising with how little there was to post about at the time. Personally I'm also somewhat done with /cgl/ and all the pointless con drama and have been focusing on other things. But now that we've got several conventions around the corner, have a new thread!

Question of the thread: What convention are you looking forward to the most this year and why?

Upcoming major events
>22-23 Sep: Elfia Haarzuilens, a large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens.
>6-7 May: MIA NL, a popular commercial anime convention in Gorinchem.
>21-21 May: Comic Con Brussels, a large commercial geek convention in Brussels.
>9-11 June: Animecon, the oldest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Rijswijk.
>24-25 June: Heroes DCC, the largest commercial geek convention with a focus on dealers.
>30 Jun-2 Jul: Dokomi DE, a large popular anime convention in Dusseldorf.
>8-9 July: Atsusacon, Belgium's largest anime convention... I think?
>3-6 August: Castlefest, a(nother) large popular outdoor fantasy event in Haarzuilens with tons of great food.
>11-13 August: Abunai!, the second oldest and probably now largest anime convention of the Netherlands, hosted in Veldhoven.
>12-13 August: Showmasters Comic Con Amsterdam, a geek convention in Amsterdam.

You need to learn how to vibe and talk to people at conventions. If you're underage that's one thing. If you're old enough you should budget for a hotel room so you can party and party with strangers and make new friends. The best part about conventions is meeting people and subsequently running into them at other cons in other years and it's all so fucking beautiful. It's the only time you don't have to suppress your powerlevel because guess what? They know all the dumb memes you do and have a lot of overlap in interests and other things you enjoy. You can ask someone why they're green and actually learn something about Startrek because they fucking love star trek so much they painted themselves green! SO WHEN I ASK THEM THEY ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO GUSH ABOUT THE SHIT THEY LOVE! I FUCKING LOVE NERD CONVENTION SHIT HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't go to cons to party or do drugs or normie shit.
I go to cons to cosplay, walk around, buy shit, and go to fun and interesting panels

Getting complimented on my cosplay and having it recognized is amazing and fills me with joy.
Some of the best nigga's i've ever met at cons have been doing basic shit like panels or playing board games or chess or shit in a hall.

This sounds really boring

Cosplaying while partying is insanely fucking fun you should try it

You can do boardgames during the day. Night is for partying

Is it normal for people to ask for pictures and immediately leave after?
Or is this another Switzerland specialty where everybody hates socializing?
OR is it because I'm male?
How do you even make friends at a con?

I went to a convention as Chainsaw Man last October and while over 20 people asked me for a pic, nobody actually stuck around or even made an attempt at small talk. I was hoping to meet people.

There's another convention coming up next month and I'm not sure if I wanna go get photographed and go back home all alone with no new contacts or friends again.

Take three to a thread from last year that went well, let's try it out again. What keeps you coming back to cons? Even /cgl/, as small as it is, shows there's a billion possible combinations to explain: "Why?" Some answers, but definitely not all, would be
>Cosplaying
solo, group, admiring, meetups, photography
>What the event itself offers
Guests, shops / artist alley, rave, game room
>The social element
Parties (unofficial), hookups, meet new folks, mutual friends flying in from different areas
>Hanging out
People watch, the weird experiences only cons can provide, that one time in the year "the gang gets back together"
And of course any reasons I forgot to include are always encouraged. The floor is yours, gulls.

Seeing friends again that are too scattered around the country to meet up with on a regular basis. And cosplay photography usually, sometimes while cosplaying myself. Room parties and hookups are just an added bonus that comes with the above two things. If a con has good guests from overseas, that's a good bonus too.
