Hi /vr/, I guess it's not exactly a good moment for this board as it seems you guys are getting spammed by an autist, but I was wondering if anyone here know where to buy retro-related comiket goods?
>>12058445Maybe check surugaya? I used to be a big doujinshi collector, but I've been out of the game for quite some time. I used to deal with ComiketService; basically I'd get the Comiket catalog, find all the circles I wanted books from, compile a list, email it to ComiketService, and they'd buy as many as possible, and resell them for what I think was a nominal markup. Seems they've ceased to function.I amassed some neat retrogame doujinshi, like a Zelda doujinshi from before Ocarina of Time, so most of the content is focused on LttP, a Street Fighter II book from when SFII was current (it might have been published right around when CE was released?) which includes speculative designs for SFIII, and a The House of the Dead doujinshi (plus some classic H books, like Horikawa Goro's Super Mario Collection). I always wanted more Silent Hill doujinshi but I never got very many (I think I have an SH2 book, an SH3 book, and one ehich was a general survival horror book).
>>12058445https://booth.pmBooth is like etsy for creator producerd stuff sold at comiket and elsewhere. They have current stuff for comiket C106 and some offer older stuff on the individual creators sales pages. Lots of lewds there, but also software, fan made merch, posters and everything else sold at comiket.To buy from booth you can use zen market. Just tag the URL of the sales page, they buy it and shipp it you you. 300 or 500 yen per item. Examples of some of their retro gaming stuff. This is a book on home arcade experience from superguns, CRTs, to people just starting out playing on LCD.https://booth.pm/ja/items/5288679
>>12058551Physical copies on booth sell out fast, it is best to hang out there i nthe 2 months leading up to comiket and place your orders then.

Very niche info here:A book on famicom shop stickers, each retailer put their own sticker on game packages back then. This is a book that logs them all and the history of famicom labels. https://booth.pm/ja/items/2027812The retro scene in japan is insane for these kind of details.
https://booth.pm/ja/items/3051857Do you want to display your famicom games with little feet? Now you can order feet and adapters for famicom and super famicom carts. Because japan.

Don't have to give a dime to any company because its a fan event.
>>12058480Surugaya is generally a good recommendation. Most of the media districts around Tokyo and Osaka have stores that aren't as good as they used to be, but Surugaya is still fantastic.
Gentlemen... how fucked are we now with the new shipping and custom fees?

>>12059676You're pretty much going to want to use a deputy service, amass sizable quantities of items over the course of a few months/whatever is the service's maximum holding period, and just ship everything all at once in a single box. The tariff fee will be a bitch, but since there's no deminimis, you will want to maximize the items per shipment as opposed to breaking things apart into sub-$800 shipments.From prior experience, FedEx is pretty diligent about sending customs bills, but I have heard stories of USPS supposedly not sending bills, though I have no idea if it is true or not. That said, as noted by the other anon, JapanPost EMS is no longer shipping to the US, so you'll have to use a courier service.
>>12060538>JapanPost EMS is no longer shipping to the USWhen did this happen?
>>12060546See>>12060205Though apparently they will still accept shipments of gift items valued at less than $100
