So here's a question for all the people buying stuff off Amiami.
How much do they charge for shipping? Cuz I know there was all that business about them only shipping things through EMS, which we all know is outrageously expensive.

@eerie:

edit: there was only 1 Ivankov I saw so that must have been Melon, met and hung out with both Icel and Ichnob, and I think dirt monkey might have been one of the Luffy's with Ichnob? Didn't put that together till after the last time I saw them, though.

Yeah, I was that Ivankov. Your cosplay was fantastic, by the way.

@icel:

Also, does anyone who's gone before know how the parking situation is around the con? I might have to stay at a hotel that isn't within walking distance.

There are quite a few parking lots and parking garages in the block around the convention center, so you shouldn't have any trouble with that. It shouldn't be too pricey either.
I recommend the garages over the ordinary lots, since you run less of a chance of getting vandalized that way, but they're a bit more expensive.

I'll be there as female version Ivankov! And my fiancee will be going as Kuma.
We should totally have some sort of get-together.

Woohoo! First we get Kappei Yamaguchi, and now this! I'm totally gonna get my POP bases signed.

And I'll be going as female Ivankov, and my fiancee will be Kuma! I'll see all you lucky suckers there!

MY BRAIN JUST EXPLODED.

Seriously, I'm gone for a week and look what happens. My poor, poor wallet…
(But I don't have to get Smoker or Tashigi! Haha!)

Speaking of Pansonworks, what ever happened to that awesome Sogeking one? Did I completely miss out on that?

So I was looking around on that Anime-ha site with the sexy, sexy Kizaru Borsalino, and it appears that they also sell the Strong World Ichiban Kuji figures. I'm not sure what a "reasonable price" for them is, but each one only goes for about 40 euros.

I might be the tiniest bit late, but here's my POP wishlist.

1. Ener
2. Kizaru
3. Buggy
4. Gecko Moria
5. X Drake

@Hakai:
