Yeeah, it's true. We have fanime right in my city. Don't tell me I am lucky though I only go for my friends I am not all that into it except shopping. Most of the merchandise at Fanime is pretty pricey because it's authentic Japanese items and the only place in America you can get them.

Last year it soaked up all of about $75 I got back for my Japanese I and math books combined at the end of last Spring semester. Although dinner and $25 to spend the night in my friend's hotel room(which my bestie and I are never doing again), a lot of it also went to just THREE items in the shopping area. One of which was just a Japanese soda(which I promptly wished I could have traded for my bestie's Calpico when she let me take a sip, that stuff is delicious!). So really it was only two items.

So fanime IS expensive.
Sorry for the off topic.
