I went to the GameStart on Sunday which was the last day of the 3 day event held at Suntec.
First, i must say the obviously different atmosphere in the hall is because it is a game-related event.
i don't play any games on the PC or consoles so quite strange to go there initially.
Would have skipped it if not to see the merch at the artist alley.
perhaps it was a better idea to wait till AFA but still it has happened so, learn from experience.
The hall was darkened because obviously screens (computers) emitted really bright light so it the hall was brighter it was harder to see.
still, some parts especially the artist alley were slightly affected because it was quite difficult to view the merch.
watched the 1 on 1 Streetfighter competition that was happening live onstage.
very savage playing.
after the first round of walking about i left the hall to go for lunch and check out any new things at La Tendo.
decided to try gacha for Bungo Stray Dogs
 |
| the designs are pretty cute too |
actually intended to get some blind boxes but had to try not to overspend. although i did already by the end of the day
 |
| the leaflet and the ticket. |
there was a lot of merch for Mystic Messenger, Overwatch and Pokemon Go.
these were the mainly the popular ones this year i forsee during AFA the number will increase.
i must say i'm easily swayed to buy stuff that i know quite little about, i bought a few stuff of Hanzo
*just learnt from wiki that he is 38.
Ajusshi age... omg... ok... （*´▽｀*）
i'll get on with the stuff i got in order.
 |
| Jrpencil postcards |
he was nice to give a free deathnote one to my friend too since we had a big purchase.
got the Suga one because... i'm going to just keep building a shrine of it at home
got my creep on when it comes to Suga merch. ﾍ(ﾟ∇ﾟﾍ)
 |
| hanzo print with cute hanzo sticker and the JOJO ssticker |
damn that Hanzo print was so good!
realised he has other versions the wiki has other images... i would like to see fanart of the lone wolf.
 |
| she had the Osomatsu oon discount and the stickers too |
usually the most common merch left are stickers so i got a number of them.
 |
| Re Zero stickers Ram, Rem and Emillia-tan |
most people either do the Ram/Rem or Rem/Emillia
do they not do Subaru? or just totally ignore this idiot that got stuck and doesn't die.
 |
| Boku no Hero Academia print |
i have a strange liking in fictional characters.
 |
| almost missed out on these stickers |
the Suga keychain is a standee as well.
 |
| nice save! |
it's cute
 |
| the badges are from the artist in the card |
sadly the Jotaro was sold out hence the Jotaro sticker replacing the space....
my fave sidekicks are in there too, Polnareff and Okuyasu!
will doubt i find any art for Steel Ball Run since it's not made into an anime.
but Dio in Steel Ball Run was so cool there,,, Dinosaur Dio.
 |
| prints form series, HunterXHunter and Voltron |
the same artist did these prints too. there was a Klance art too but i chose Shiro because... the jacket
i think the bomber jackets & baseball jackets are coming back in fashion again.
there was actually Josuke and Okuyasu print too but they were much bigger so i didn't get it.
 |
| these figurines are really cute too |
these are for colleagues so have to check that it was ok.
test photo?!
 |
| some dessert to end the day on a sweeter note |
the Thai Milk Tea ice cream is the best!
 |
| Rum butterscotch and pecan was good too |
i like the Matcha chocolate that was a present too.
 |
| so delicious |
so much for saying i wouldn't have the time to update the blog again,
really, this is for real now. will be back again next week!
