Japan Anime Shopping

*Jaw hits floor*
Love all the loot there. Especially the DD Yuki. She was always my favorite from Haruhi.

Wonderful, just wonderful!
Lots of great stuff ^^ Fate <3

Wonder if you could buy a car for how much this loot costs. XD

Seriously though, most impressive. You bought more loot in your trip to Japan then I have in my 2 years here. The most impressive loot I have ever seen for sure. Love the Touhou stuff too. Saw that Aya wallscroll advertised in Tora no Ana a while back. Did you buy it at White Canvas?

Also, going to look for that Nanoha the Movie wallscroll on the left this weekend in Akiba. Did you buy it at Gamers, Animate, or somewhere else if you don't mind me asking?

OMFG... nothing more to say...

Awesome! Especially like the To Love Ru and Lucky Star stuff's... loot of figure's \ >< / ... 878928 yen, 28 boxes! @_@

Holy god of otakingdom! That's a lot of stuff you've got there!

what a haul!! O_o;

Yuki is the best of the lot of course

OMG, he spent nearly $10,000!!?? That is a lot of money lol. Most I spent on a Japan trip is about $5,000, he clearly outdone himself. I salute you, friend~

I wonder how he smuggle(?) those over back home lol. They clearly cannot fit into all his bags ^^;

O.O period.

Wow that a ton of stuffs...

I think I'm lucky that I'm too picky with stuff. I wouldn't have bought most of those things there. But if there's something I want, I absolutely have to have it. Glad there isn't much of that type of thing for me though.

lol hard earned money spended so fast. If everybody buy so much like him then no crisis will happen.
this make every part of the otakus campany's happy :p

And that's why even though I plan on moving to Japan someday, I'm kinda scared of it too...
I can totaly understand what Rin did there, and if I had the money I can't say I wouldn't do the exact same thing. :P
Japanese government, akiba stores or some organization should send him a gift for helping japanese economy... xD

I feel a bit less guilty about my own loot now :P LOL!

this is the biggest loot i've seen in my life! What to follow your footsteps in the future, rin.

All that is missing is some stripe pantsu or maybe you have that too.

Asked but no reply: Any duty?

I can see Vocarhythm CD and H2O game package

Which 3 current manga?

I've never seen that much loot from a Japan trip on DC. O.O This is just too epic.

Too much. Really.

Marry me! XD

Wow, that sure is a load of goods o_o you are one lucky person. That costs a fortune!

WOW!!! i wish i gonna hold-up a bank & take all the money to buy any!! JOKE ^U^

I applaud you on your devotion to anime and whatnot. Now if only I had that much money on me...

Dear lord man... 200,000 yen short of a million 0.o I want those plushies!

That is one hell of a loot! So much money spent D:

I'm in awe...

A lot of stuff there!
I guess shipping em home must have cost a fortune as well, lol..

holy crap! that is a LOT!
So want to be able to buy stuff without worry for budget. one of these days perhaps... one of these days...

....i am at a complete loss of word.
i noticed your hg rx 78-2, looks like the odaiba version.^^

Holy....shiz.... my jaw dropped when I saw the first pic... but when I saw how much you spend... it dropped further.... and instead of saying 'holy crap' like I meant to, I said 'holy money' didnt realise I had for a second lol.. tis subliminal... seriously... omg...omg...omg...omg....

I'd love to see a picture of all the boxes put together. Love all the Miku stuff.

I don't think one needs to ever go back to japan once acquired this much. =o=;

O_O!!! ......... *UTSU* ..... ......... man... I ... ;o; i ENVY this guy! D: I wish i had half of that!! ..... this just motivated me when i get a job I'm going to save as much as possible! ^^.

.__. seeing that makes me envious, since buying I think really hard about spending $40 for a figma.
.-.

i'm more interested in how much did you spent on the courier services and err... tax.

Holy FnA. I bow down to your mastery. 28 boxes...I hate to think how much just the shipping cost. I applaud your devotion to your hobby. Wish I could spend that kind of cash.

holy shi-.... talk about epic loot!!! i don't even want to know how much it costs ^^;

"overdid" is an understatement...I must bow down to your passion for anime goods for you to spend nearly 10 grand in USD...

rin. you glorious bastard. this is simply amazing.

i am not worthy.

and you found an alter fate? that's amazing! hmm... it's gonna take me awhile to go through everything you got so i'll leave it at that for now ^^;

Oh wow! That's a lot of stuff!（°д°）

What you have collected in a month is equivalent or more than some otaku collect in their career of being an otaku, or at least the first few years of it.

I'd personally spent that kind of money on making the trip more memorable, but then again I'm not sure what you 'did', so it might have been just as memorable.

OMG OMG!!!
This is what we call a "loot". You sir, are otaku with great dedication. m(_ _)m
To spend that amount of money, I gotta say, YOU ROCK!!

Anyway, where did you buy all the wallscroll and tapestry? Couldn't find one here in Nagoya T_T

Oh wow did you just buy the entire akihabara?

I shall do that one day...

But first, a short visit will do. ^ ^;

Uwaah this is heavy.. heavy.. XD don't have such money to buy like this

i want the wing zero custom pg and the blazblue arcade stick

how is the stick?

Damn!
That is a lot of stuff!

I don't recognize the majority of stuff in his loot, but congrats on all the neat stuff!

O_O!!!

That's really quite a huge shopping spree, your impressive loots on a single trip had overshadowed every loot posts in DC. Now we shall crown you the King of Loots, LOL!

Since you'd worked hard to accumulate those money you'd spent, you should feel more satisfied ^o^

*WiseFreeman likes this*

Wow. That is a lot of stuff. I spent quite a bit when I went to Japan last month and see that you got the same cups from the ToLoveRu raffle. I won Lala (A), the blue set of cups, and a plushie Lala. Took me a while to figure out what do initially as I never saw something like this before (and the guy banging the box for the tickets at Sunkus didn't help the matter until a salaryman helped me figure it out :)) Which store did you go to find the Tony Taka books? Maybe I missed it when I went to Melon Books. The sheer amount of people there was amazing x.x;

Holy Mother of God Jesus Christ!
The shipping alone cost that much, and how much does all those cost!?
Wish I have the money T_T

That's A LOT of stuff/money. I see quite a bit of T2 and C76 stuff. And 10 dakimakura? I totally want that yuki-tan and Nodoka pillow.

Mama mia, this lot is pretty big and cool of course.

dude...

Is good to know that after 10+ years working my savings wont buy half the stuff in this loot...

Now if you excuse me I'll crawl to the nearest corner and start crying...

speechless (O.o)

yup...epic loot. From the original post, as i was scrolling through the pictures from top to bottom, i thought it was the end after the posters and magazines, but he drops a freaking dollfie. =O speechless

I salute to you, king of loots.

but I think that's kinda going way overboard. I'm very picky and only buy what I really want, I always set myself a budget of spending. If I had 880,000yen, I'd probably only end up spending about 1/3 of that lol.

wow, 28boxes to ship back home... @.@'
impressive, really a lot of nice stuff you have bought.

economic downturn? what economic downturn?
depression? what depression?
i salute rin for simulating the economic. :o

Huge amount of loot!

Congrats on your epic pilgrimage! I really should save up more for my future trip to the Holy Land.
On my first trip to Japan, I went to Akiba for a short while but was really holding back on my spending. When I got back home I really regretted not going all out, not knowing when I'll be able to make another visit there. So I think all your money must have been well spent.
Wonder how hard it is to organise the shipping from Japan, not being able to speak Japanese fluently. Mind sharing your experience or tips? Also wondering how you packed the posters for shipping, the Kara no Kyoukai posters look gorgeous!

HOLY! I think I died from amazement from the 1st pic. O_O

Very nice amount of loot. Very nice loot in general. :D

That's a lot of loot, seems to be a lot of K-On and Nanoha goods in the lot, must be great to go on trips to Japan and spend big.
Also the Touhou (I think) wall scroll near the end looks to be a really nice wall scroll to hang up.

was following his blog when he first started his trip, didnt know that hes acquired this much.

Ohh my sweet lord...
that's a lot of lootage! Most impressive I've ever seen ^^

WOW! That loot is undoubtedly worthy of being legendary.

I can't even get that loot with my whole year's salary! Congrats with your haul! :D :D :D

Dude... now that is true eye candy! O_O

I think this might be the reason why Japan's GDP rised quite a bit recently XD

hail to the king of looters ^w^ !! XD

... I want those miku dolls

Im gonna call you 'Colonel Rin' from now on

Colonel - Col - KoL - King of Loot

OMG.

Holy crap, that's like 2 or 3 months salary for most people. Amazing haul, but, wow man, wow.

When I get a job, hopefully I'll earn enough to buy at least 1/10th of what you bought in these photos! Great work King of Loot RIN! *bows in respect*

WOWA PALOOZA KAZOUWA * CAPS LOCK ON *

You really overdid it , well thats what you'll get for saving up that much Gold for a trip to Japan .

My Eyez is on The Dakimura's , Photos of K-ON! , CD Album , DOlfie and Mangas

878928yen! OMG! Awesome stuffs there!

Amazing loot. I see a lot of K-On!, Touhou, Nanoha (Fate), Kara no Kyoukai, and Tony Taka. Awesome stuff.
Who's that on the wallscroll next to the Aya and Cirno one?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "My heart has stopped beating for a little over a minute"...................X.X............

wow... just... wow. If he ever has a garage sale, I'm there. lol

ENVY!

I´ll die ... i overload ...didididididididd--------- *crush* ...

No really over 6500 Euro Oo... Thats what i earn in a half year Oo ...

It was a... lot of money. But also a lot of awesome goodies. I wonder how long it would took someone like me, a student without a part-time job, to save up such amount of money. No, maybe I do not want to know it.

wonderful ^_^

Whoa, what an awesome haul!

Glad to see the Economic Recession hasn't affected everyone. NGL If I saved up a lot of money and was going to Japan I would totally splurge too. You probably got a lot of good deals too.

That's just awesome! o.o and considering that the loot costs nearly 900k yen, makes me wonder how much the entire trip costs.

Sazabi! Sazabi! aaaaarrgh...

My god! You win! No one here can compare! All Hail master RIN!

I need those Kara no Kyoukai posters and I need them NOW.
Please someone help me find them on the web!

OH MY GOD?

You, sir, are a god among men! XD

I see you got a mio's shimpan chawan set over there......nice ;D

eyewatering loot
*liquid jealousy drips from forehead*

Think what I would want the most are the miku plushies and the code geass books(already got one of them though yay)

ｶﾞ━━Σ(ﾟДﾟ il|)━━ﾝ!!

The biggest loot in the world!

I guess I can't say much besides omedetou. ^^;;

878928yen

you must be kidding me lol.

otaku limiter removal !

this is very impressive ^_^

ぱっと見た感じtonyが好きなのか。C-CLAYSとか趣味が被ってるな。
しっかし地雷踏んでるのが気になった。誰か止める奴は居なかったのかバルドOVA....

(0_0)..... This is some awe inspiring loot... I would be happy to have even a fourth of your awesome loot.

I actually spent 10,000 dollars once in Japan. But, I lived there for 4 months while doing it.. and school.. I like the way you did it better :(

Woah O_O I would say: Good job! :D

O-oiiii...

x_x And then I realize that you haven't included all the stuff you were buying for *other* people. I mean, technically it's not yours and they pay you back anyway, but the sheer volume of stuff you brought back is staggering. I think your collection just bulged 50% or something.

Quoting Captain America: "Good Work Soldier!"

Just amazing!

wow,'jaw hits floor' this is impressive and the amount you spent is even more so lol, this is the best loot i have seen in a while. i bet you had a blast buying everything :D

im going to say this again: Did you leave anything for us to get there?! D=

I bow to you sir, and commend you on your exquisite taste. Lots of stuff I have that I adore, and some that I would love to have.

On a side not, this is EXACLY why I have second thought abour going to Japan. Knowing how much I spend online as it is, and even it may not be as big a loot as our comrade here got, but I would definitely overspend on so much stuff I have in mind. Time to get a 3rd credit card it seems....

All in all, muchas felicitaciones on a very very nice loot. Hopefully we'll see more of it soon ^^. /bow

That is freakin' impressive. I'm in deep awe and envy. I salute you, Rin!

Oh....my....god......I wouldn't even be able to FIND all that stuff, let alone BUY it all....or survive the CUSTOMS charges if I tried to ship it all home.....If you don't see me around anymore, it will be because envy finally killed me T-T

Jesus! That is GREAT!! 878928 yen for your shopping is a good price! But the shipping may cost alot...-_-|||
Good to see some crazy shopping

Damn! Thats is one super haul, bin the cloths and pack figurs instead.

still finding my jaw that got lost somewhere when it dropped.

anyways, as ive posted on TFM chat:
878928yen
bank yesterday rate of 3.84 per 100 yen
MYR33750
ALMOST my 1 year salary

and you spent it in what, 27 days? not including lodging or plane ticket? (even if it does, still wow)

yeah words cant describe this amount of epic >_<

congratulations.
Really speechless.

Way to go DC member Rin!!! Now that is the way to do it, to shop Japan. This must have been one of the most awesome 27 days of your life. Hope you got to tour all the historic areas too!! Now how are you going to expand your house so each of the Anime girls gets their own room????? ;D

Really is the way to go stay a month at least in Japan to make the trip worth it.

This is insane...!!!
I love it!!

omg your collection is awosme

All I can say is wow.To be honest it looks like it cost more than the amount it does.

I can only sit in awe. That is a lot of stuff and a lot of money. My mind is boggled.

Ohh, I really liked those Nanoha wallscrolls. A very good and extensive collection you have in there of otaku stuff!!!

that is a ton of loot in 27 days.... wow... @___@

I really liked the girl with the katana, on the the poster to the left in the middle. What Anime is she from?

Very very nice haul, it's most impressive.
Was that Aya tapestry from comiket as well? It looks really neat.

Man, that is impressive. Looks like it's 878928 yen well spent.

O.O!!
awesome...
makes me think about my life's style and future. =S

Among Posters i really liked Kara no Kyokai Poster its look nice. nice dvd colletction

Heck　Yeah!　If you have the means, then why not. Excellente lootus maximus!

*TWITCH JAW DROPS* Amazing loot.... that's like 10,000 cad man all that money if i had it hm.... ARCADE MACHINE ! WOOO

Bravo! Great amount of loot you brought home!

5 and a half grand on collectables? Alright for some, think I might invest my money in something a bit more substantial than figurines and posters tho.

wtf...

I think I'm going to cry, I've never seen that much anime merchandise in one place. I is now sad...

It's over 9000 (US dollars in Otaku goods)!!!

what.. the.. frak..
so epic..
tony taka and miku hatsune fan i see, lol..
yuki dollfie ftw..

orz

I still can't even comprehend the sheer amount of anime goods you picked up-- Not to mention the shipping afterwards, lol...
That's an epic collection you have there. Heck, I'd be happy if I could only pick 5 items from what you have there.

And I'd let you keep Yuki~

*twitch* *twitch* :O, 3.3 Holy!...umm...nice loot :D

Now that... that's getting up there in terms of ridiculousness. Guess this gives me an incentive to work my ass off until I can get a high(er) paying job to afford all that stuff without feeling guilty.

I work in an otaku shop in the Japanese local city.
The visitor of Gaijin brightens eyes and I look in a shop and turn around with an excited state.
Because I sometimes buy a toy of terrible quantity, I am glad. I thank for their liking Japanese culture.
I think that I want you who argue this and that here to enjoy it in my shop.
# Because it is an automatic translation, surely it is a strange expression. I'm sorry.

Holy cow!

Thats a lot of loot! wwwoooowwwwwwww........

That's going to need some work to get through! lol, I love the wall scrolls and posters!(^_^)

OMG!

I so envy you now! hahah. Congratz on the loot. That is frakin insane! love the wall scrolls and posters and the kara no kyoukai merchandise. ^^

Feito Chan!~~
How can you find the goods "in stock" ?
C76 is a vampire>.<
And... too many loot!!!!!

That's what I call loot. You make me want to fly to Japan now.

Where can I get the Otaku Yuki and Achakura pillow...?! T_T

HOLY FREAKIN WTH??!!

uwahhh... trying so hard not to drool and pass out XD
