Is there any point in waiting in line for exclusives when 99% of the said exclusives just end up being sold online a week later at the company store?

>>10925191
Someone also made an AA spreadsheet with each artist's catalog and the one hundred fucking stamp rallies https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_cSqgsAtQRdyv0-toWIdLRfpwinQuTA1R51BORSOpCs/edit?gid=2078687931#gid=2078687931

>>10925202
for the 1% that wont and will have to wait for till the next anime expo if they have stock, or get at the next con, which half defeats the purpose of it being "exclusive." Probably just depends if they meant for exclusive for that specific con, or just cons in general. Sometimes presales are just cheaper or don't include tax if you pay in cash. Otherwise, you could save your time, skip line con, and just try your luck at ebay with scalped prices for anything that really is exclusive.

>>10925205#
Holy shit that's a lot of stamp rallies. Holy shit that's a fucking great spreadsheet. And here I thought I was being some kind of autist planning out my artist alley purchases. Then again, that spread sheet is probably group effort.

throwing together the prop for my nanami cos, hope its not super ugly. i'm not ripped or anything but im a tall white guy so its as good a lazy costume as any

I've never partaked in gun props. I've got a Colt Python toy that used to shoot pellets. I saw you need to hotglue it shut so I hotglued the barrel, is that good enough or do I need to hotglue the revolver chamber too? It already has an orange ring on it.

>You going? And you hyped?
Yes and not really. I don't know many new anime and this cosplay has been kicking my ass over the past few weeks just to look like a child's costume, so that's killed a lot of the excitement. Even now I'm jumping through my ass to make and troubleshoot the thing.
>did you manage to get a hotel?
No; if anyone has a spot in a room available I could really use it.
>what’s your budget?
Like $250. I'm bringing food from home and I don't have anything I'm really gunning for in the merchandise department.

Me too. There's just so much going on and so many people crowding the tables that I can't fucking see whats on display without prior research of the catalogs. This spreadsheet is super helpful and I hope the group returns to do it every year.

>You going? And you hyped?
Going days 1 & 2. So hyped that all of that excitement is brewing into an anxious stomach. The selection of art this year looks so good though, I'm stoked. Lots of artists I've been wanting to buy from buy didn't bc of shipping costs.
>did you manage to get a hotel? Just a yes or no would suffice
Local
>what’s your budget?
$450 cash, but limitless budget because this might be my last AX. None of my friends wanted to join me this year and I doubt I'll have the balls to return next year solo again.

Got summers off and not working my summer camp counselor job because fuck them kids and fuck the sand!

Here's to hoping there isn't an absolute cluster fuck like last year. I'm just glad I didnt bother to say I was going to my family/family friends so I don't have to tard wrangle like last year.

its been 6 years since ive gone to anime expo. last time i met a girl and we both became friends, and a little more, but it all fell part 2 years back. shes gone for good and it genuinely hurts going back here now

>>10925336
I remember two ago Hasan was running around a really crowded place in the hall and every single person wanted there to beat the shit of him

>>10925327
AX's organizers are so money hungry that I don't believe they'd artificially cap 4-day passes. Someone pointed out that the 1-day ticket announcements were published at 4pm on the dot so they were likely scheduled posts, but all signs pointed to forcing ppl to buy a 4-day in order to scrape more money. I think they might've genuinely reached cap (likely set by an outside force as they would just keep taking money if possible). And yes, I'm very fucking worried.

>>10925173
>what’s your budget?
My budget is $13,000, I am worry I don’t have enough.

>>10925358
If they hit cap they would have sold out weeks ago like previous years. This is just them stopping sales. If they really wanted to max out income they'd allow for at-con sales

What time are you guys lining up? I'm doing 6 AM myself

I had a BPD roommate the X-Games year as well, unfortunately she was my girlfriend at the time.
On the bright side though her mom had a billion Marriott points because of her job and we got a free room at the Ritz though her because the JW and most of the other hotels around were all booked up.

>>10925459
Speaking of this, I have Japanese friends who come to AX most years, and normally they come in late June but this year they flew in yesterday and the arrival area at LAX was absolutely packed with people obviously waiting for Japanese AX guests. There was one girl, obviously Japanese herself, who was so fucking cute I couldn't believe it, super tiny with a perfect bob cut and glasses.

>>10925461
Reddits. Not gonna be as fun as a chan one though

>>10925455
It's ass. I've been in one panel and only because it guaranteed AC and the dickhead behind me wouldn't shut up. Not just that there's fucking nowhere to sit more than normal, too crowded and there's virtually nothing in any hall worth a damn. My only real planned event at this point is at 8:30pm and I've already determined there's nothing to buy unless I go to the artist alley and I sure as hell won't find anything good with the lines for some shit. It was a mistake to come here. I would legitimately rather hang with random autists or join a fuckin gay orgy as a straight man than deal with this but I paid nearly 200 dollars for these 4 days so I'm going to make the most of it by force. At least day 3 I can get what I want

>>10925465
I realized there was fuck all to do but wander the floor or see artist alley. Power to you anon. Go try and hit on cosplay chicks I guess

Is AX too much of a normie con now? It feels like it's gotten so big that it's just a place for influencers and non-fans go to be seen by the public.

>>10925469
Yes, but that doesn't mean you can't make friends here. Met a couple of /a/utists a few years ago last time.

>>10925461
Unironically just use the official one. Don't use anything else it will give you psychic damage. There is legit immense mental illness on a lot of more private discords so avoid those at all costs if you want to keep your naivety and sanity intact.

Any girls here wanna have sex (genshin cosplay preferred)

Skipped today to celebrate Murika day. Any good? Crowded? Anything crazy happen?

>>10925538
And I don't fucking get it, if you're spending at least a couple hundred to attend AX primarily to just try (and likely fail) to score Instagram cosplay thot pussy, just pay a fucking hooker to dress as Makima or whoever instead.

all my friends bailed this year and I have no plans other than going to my cosplay meetups. is there anything you guys enjoy showing up to that doesnt require a ticket or a reservation or anything? besides walking the exhibit hall/AA

My point is less "You stand no chance" as much as "You can't do it after you hit X age". This board's got plenty of that spilling over from the /r9k/ crowd. But the sweeping generalizations are what amuse me most since they're so easy to disprove if you just watch for long enough. Oh and also

Depending on what gate you entered from, you had an easy time getting in to the convention thanks to the removal of physical bag checking and the several entrances. I was able to arrive at 7am and get parking immediately at the beginning of Lot C. I spoke to a couple of people in line and they were able to enter even quicker through different gates -- not sure where they parked. I was physically inside the convention center at 8:30. They started letting people in at 8 though.

>Crowded
In the areas prior to the bag check, a bit, but my gate had a fantastic attendant that whipped the line in to shape to reduce cutting or general confusion. AA was pretty crowded, mostly because there were several booths that had lines 7-8 people deep and leaning in to the middle of the hallway.

>Anything crazy happpen?
I nearly passed out in line because I didn't feel any hunger pangs that morning and hadn't realized that my blood sugar was super low -- not in a diabetic way, but just in a general human bodies need food kind of way. I thought I was having a panic attack at first and trying to breathe it out until my heart rate was extremely slow, I was sweaty, breathing slow, and I was tripping over my own feet. I was alone, so this kind woman hooked her arm around mine (also a gal), and steadied me until I ate and felt better. Then we chatted up while we waited in line. Turned out to be a really good time despite the morning chaos.

Where's the party

Bros, I fucked up. I fell for the stamp rally trap. I spent this morning running around completing them and didn't realize I blew through close to $200 completing 5 rallies. Thankfully I chose ones that were worth something and feel like I made at least $100 back in the amount of charms, keychains, and stickers I got but I definitely had to spend my money on shit I didn't want. The $15 minimum was tough. Don't do it bros. Pick one or two that you actually want and stick with it.

Alright, Day 1 comes to a close. How did you do?
>When did you arrive and where did you park?
>What gate did you use?
>How long did you wait / what was your experience
>Do anything fun or get anything good?

I just realized that old age makes you physically incapable of walking through the entire convention without feeling like you're on the brink of death.
My back hurts like hell. I'm not even 30 yet. FUCK

>>10925571
OP here.
>When did you arrive and where did you park?
I left home at 6:30, arrived at 7 and parked pretty much immediately in Lot C. I was queued in line by 7:15
>What gate did you use?
Xeno Gate
>How long did you wait / what was your experience
1.5 hours, but one whole hour of that was before the con actually opened, so 30min net.
>Do anything fun or get anything good?
I got so much shit from AA. I definitely bought more than I needed and spent more than I should've but I had a really great time interacting with attendees and artists. I'm excited to return tomorrow in cosplay.

Gravity definitely feels different post-20's. I don't know if I have a weak core or I stand stupid, but my lower back fucking hurt and my shins felt like they were splintering. I sat with my legs out in front of me for 15 minutes and somehow they got stiff and had to be woken up again.

Crowded?
Less so than the last few years it felt like. Never felt like I was getting crushed by people or otherwise in some giant mass. Some people disagreed with me though.
Anything crazy happen?
Not really.

>How the hell are some people getting things past prop check when they told me no to the same demon slayer swords from Amazon I seen a bunch of other people have

Your first issue is even talking to prop check. Just go in the con, and if some staffer asks you that you need to get it checked/peace bonded, just agree and be all "ah ok gotcha" and sort of meander towards the check station, but then just walk right the fuck off somewhere else. Once you're in the dealers hall or a panel room away from the main hall traffic, you're golden.

me every AX

Honestly, no bullshit, I've had 2 chances at women this year and both chances I just let them go and not care I feel like I'm going to waste my time in the end.
I'm not even bad looking Im just an autist first and a man second. I appreciate the women who are attending but holy fucking Christ I can't even get hard when staring at your asses anymore. I keep getting deterred by the quality of the cosplay not being accurate enough.

I feel like my sanity is slipping when left the blue archive panel just as it started because I'm surrounded by gacha players and not even bothering to take photos of the big titty cosplayers anymore. What the fuck happened to this convention to make me feel this way. It's corporate as fuck now and there's so little to socialize over other than "oh hey waiting on line too? Cool"

It's insane to me that I met 2 girls here before in separate years, both somehow close to where I live (like 2 miles close) and yet this year I don't even want to talk to anyone

Either gotta be fit, have a good face that isn't some 30+ coomer meme, or have money. If you don't have one of those 3 you're better off just getting a prostitute. Women would sleep with brad pitt or fucking ryan gosling and they're approaching 50s now, but you don't have to be that. Just have to be in the top 1/4 of the con goers and not going after women that look like children
