general_radixWe recently got back from a new con, Rocket City Anime, which was organized by the same folks behind events like Yamacon (which I've heard good things about, but is a few hours away from where we live); this was actually our second day, as pre-registering could get you a three-day pass for $25.
I enjoyed it, though you could definitely tell that it was their first year--among other things, the "panel room" wasn't in its own dedicated room like games or the cosplay contest.
A list of the things I walked away with over those two days, in no particular order:
* Glitters & Glamor Super Sailor Moon figure (the first one)
* "Rela Cot" Sailor Mars blind box figure
* Q Posket Makoto Kino (school uniform)
* A $15 Pikachu-themed blind bag
* Winking Manaphy plush by Banpresto
* Perler bead art/magnet of Biyomon
* Acrylic keychain of Venti from Genshin Impact (which I don't play, but I do like Venti's design)
* NERV shirt, large (because, despite being am ambulatory mound of twigs, I don't like small shirts)
* Five Pokemon cards: Ralts, Kirlia, Gallade, Hatenna, Diancie
* And possibly the crown jewel of my finds there: the Girls Memories Sailor Uranus figure!.. which went into the Christmas stash, but hey. $49 beats the prices I usually see that figure (and the others in that line) go for.
