>>10987659>it always felt like vendors just had leftovers from Japan.oooooof... you just reminded me of when i could have bought up a ton of Figmas and Revoltechs for under $10 at comic con one year (2010-2013. i forget).
Japanese toys actually fell out of favor around that time and one of the official distributors in the US was offloading their stuff for super cheap. It felt like i was in the middle of Akihabara during one of their clearances where vendors put shit outside to advertise their shit is super cheap.
I don't remember the Figmas that were being pushed off, but Revoltechs were easier, since it wasn't a bunch of generic school girls: patlabor, dante, transformers, and a bunch of other shit i didn't buy, because Revoltechs at the time were still archaic with their articulation. Weird cuts.
Seriously, you can get some really good deals at conventions and why i generally stop buying stuff a month or two before SDCC and other bigger conventions. ... but you can see that the last few years have been busts. Disappointing.
Also, you can get a lot of freebies too. I usually forget to post them, but Hasbro, McFarlane, Mattel, LEGO, Diamond, and even Kaiyodo have given stuff out at conventions. IT can range from blind bags, to exclusives, and even shit you can buy at the convention floor for $20-30. But again, last few years have been a bust. I got some keychains and table top miniatures. meh
pic has some "exclusives" freebies from MegaBloks and a diorama piece from MCFarlane in 2015. plus some things in baggies i forget what they were
