Okay so it looks like this is the orders?

Vincolo - folder (1) Arino invader Pasmo (1) bottle (1)

Caitlin - keychain (1) pencil box (1)

Zari gani - folder (1) keychain (1) raglan M (1) map sticker (2?)

Xamphear - keychain (1) map sticker (1) Pasmo (2) pin (1) folder (1)

Absolutely anything and DiscoJ - folder (1)

Pear - folder (2)

Josh - folder (1) keychain (1)

I have enough wiggle room for a few more orders since I'm done my Squeenix shopping now and there's nothing else I really want.

I really should have got this myself on Friday, but can I request an A4 folder please. Arino-type.

I'd like two folders, if that's at all possible. One for me and one for my non-goon friend who also likes the show. :) I can Paypal you pretty much immediately if you need me to.

Not sure if the offer is still out there, but I'll reiterate again, I'd be interested in the keychain and the Arino folder. I'd be willing to go for pretty much anything, though, and I'll be sure to pay a finder's fee on top of shipping and the item(s).

drat, that's a nice pile of stuff. I wish Fuji TV would sell some of that stuff online, but of course it'd be a huge hassle for them to ship overseas and deal with customs so it's easy to see why they don't. The fanbase outside Japan probably isn't big enough to make it worthwhile.

edit: if you did manage to get a folder or two for me, great, PM me and I can pay you right away. If not, that's cool, it was awesome of you to hook people up with stuff.

Maybe they'll tell Arino all about the crazy lady buying things for zari-gani's friends. :allears:

And then they'll autograph stuff for us. :allears:

Aww man, I missed the TGS Spending Spree. :smith:

Ah well, the only thing I really wanted (the pin) ended up being sold out, so it's not too bad. It also doesn't help that I couldn't really make out what some of those things were (Like, what is that next to the flashlight and jacket?).

Oh well, that's always next year. :unsmith:

Very. Just tell me how much ( I translate yen straight across, so I'm imagining around $10 or so for the folder).

As long as they know it's for the overseas fans it's fine!

Everyone who bought stuff, keep in mind that not only do we get cool swag, we also helped directly support the show!

ETA: A photo Arino snapped of one of the Yakuza 5 booth girls who was really shocked and happy to see him.

Can you really break the glass? Do you do it by nudging the machine a lot, or?

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.

It spawns a coin every time you click and you can probably lag out an older machine with enough clicks. I got the glass to crack and re-crack(you'll see it lighten and darken again) but as far as I can tell it doesn't bust all the way through. Watch the key swinging around as well, it's a neat touch.
