Where do you buy your anime dvd's, manga, magazines, TCG, flush toys, etc.??? And how much money do you usually spend to buy them? Have you already purchased some items online?

Well, there are lots of sources where I got my anime stuffs. DVDs, I previously bought from a forum member who import the DVDs in, as well as from local VCD/DVD stores. Mangas are usually purchased from local comics stores / Kinokuniya. Have also got some anime soundtracks (Inuyasha, Escaflowne, etc) from HMV before. I did also purchased some anime figurines from an online store before. Not sure how much I have spent so far... Should be quite a lot (maybe around $1k...)

The bulk of them are actually spending on the anime DVDs/VCDs series. I do have quite a number of anime series (on VCDs & DVDs), and they are mainly the older series (90s or early 00s). However, for most, if not almost all of them, I just watch them 1 time, and then put inside the cabinet. At least for the mangas, I do occasionally take out and read randomly...

Ebay, or a barter website, mostly. Occasionally I'll find stuff at flea markets or church sales. ^_^

Yes!!! I buy my stuff from Ebay!! So far, I've bought a few anime plush toys and manga online. I love plush toys!!! As for magazines and manga, I mostly buy from Kinokuniya book shop. I think I've spent a lot of money on them. But well, it's my passion so I don't mind spending the money.

It depends, there are a couple of online stores, one of the biggest and oldest is www.manga.com , they sell all kinds of stuff. Otherwise ebay is a great source for toys and figures. Even alot of the older or more rare series you can find products on ebay for. Just have to look. On some of the geek sites like www.thinkgeek.com you can find toys too , they carry a few.

There is a plaza near my home, just waste 10 minutes walking can reach. I can buy many thing about anime there, just lkie comic, DVD, magazine, etc. If go a little far, there is a small shop nearby, I can find some special products about anime and games. On the other hand, I know several shops can order comic from Hong Kong or Taiwan, the price is more expensive of course. Except the ways above, I just can find what I want when the comic exhibition come.

I usually buy it in Comic Alley. That's a store where you can find a lot of anime stuffs. There's also a store in Manila that offers cheap price for anime stuffs but the store is a bit far from us.
