Anime Evolution 2010 Loots

Despite my complains of the dealers room and the convention itself, I actually got some stuff from Anime Evolution anyway. I withdrew some money on the Friday, but after my first visit to the dealers room, I thought I could just put all the money back later after the weekend. Turns out I've spent quite a chunk it already by the end of Sunday.

Ok, not really lot, but I actually like the art on the cover of the convention guide. I didn't think much of it, but I quite like the astronaut outfit and the colours are very cool and warm at the same time (yeah, I'm not an art critic, I probably don't know what I'm talking about). And well the ink they used was shining on the cover that it attracted my attention. Possibly one of the best convention guides I've seen.

GUNPLA 30th Anniversary Edition Master Grade 1/110 Kampfer

So even though I said I didn't find anything interesting in the dealers room, they still had no-tax and slightly cheap Gundam kits... So I picked up this hard-to-find-locally MG Kampfer, the 30th Anniversary edition with the clear parts. I think the only Zeon Mobile Suit I actually liked. Lunamaria's Zaku doesn't count since it's not Zeon :P

Black Rock Shooter bookmark and "I [heart] YURI" magnet

I browsed through the Artist Alley on Sunday and the I [heart] YURI magnet caught my eye and the girl at the table also caught my sale ^^; Bought the magnet and gave me the BRS bookmark for free.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Portable: The Battle of Aces

This was quite a surprise to find, especially on the last day. The booth had a sign that says everything was 50% off. I know it's opened, but it looks like it's in good condition and at half price... I guess I'll find out why everyone was talking about a lot about this game. Yeah... Another game, I know. I don't think I'll ever finish any games anymore...

High Grade 1/100 Gundam Avalance Exia

When I saw the 1/100 Avalanche Exia back then, I thought it was the coolest Gundam from Gundam 00! But then when I think about it, it's just another Exia and I have a 1/60 scale already... So when I heard about the 1/144 Avalanche with more features are going to be released, I knew I'd have to get that one. And luckily I found it.

I kinda hate it that I bought the Anime Evolution calendar for 2011 just because of January...

I am aware that it's the year 2009... But I liked the art on this one better than 2010's ^^;

Sundome Volume 7 by Kazuto Okada

And lastly, since I left the convention early, I went shopping for manga elsewhere and got Otomen volume 7 and Sundome (pronounced Soon-doh-may) volume 7. One of my favourite manga because it's so ecchi yet it's kinda heartwarming... And the covers really caught my attention.

That's it for this year's AE loot... I was sure I would hold back more, but because I found those Gundams and the Nanoha game, I spent more than what I thought, though not to the point of going broke compared to the last loot ^^;
