/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey A-Konanons, I just booked my flight to DFW, and told my family I would be visiting. A-Kon 2015 is a go go for me. I am so excited to go to A-Kon again!

Ah neat, I like that because then you can get all your shopping done in one place. I still wish the rooms were fancy and nice like the old one though. Walking around on a hard floor under blinding lights can be kind of draining, plus muh nostalgia of the old venues.

Anon, I can't say for certain, but typically con prices can be all over, rarely cheaper, sometimes more expensive, but usually pretty comparable. The benefit though is that you can sometimes haggle a little bit on the price (especially the later part of the last day). Also, a vendor is usually willing to give you some discounts when you buy lots of things, and they will also remember you next year. I have a really good relationship with the couple that runs Anime Depot (they sell anime, not figures though. inb4 >buying anime). The're so sweet, always remember me and what I'm up to in my life, and they usually give me some sort of discount for being a loyal customer and buying lots each con. My friend is a big spender with ABC Toy For Me (I don't think they do A-Kon though), and he gets a pretty nice discount there. So my advice is, if you have a bunch of figures that you want, try to buy them all from the same vendor and ask for some sort of discount for buying so many at once. Also, be friendly and personable, it helps.
