SNAFU CON stands for Sierra Nevada Anime Fans Unite. It's an anime (Japanese Animation) convention being held at Grand Sierra October 22-23 and I'll be attending Saturday's event which is the 23. I'm looking forward to going to this event and I took a day off work. My main reason of going will be to attend the Super Street Fighter IV gaming tournament and also buying figurines and other anime swag.
Figurines that are made in Japan are extremely detailed they can be expensive ranging 100+, but the effort they put into it making a collector such as myself greatly appreciate it. I only have a few of the expensive figurines, but they're very tasteful ones. Such as this one called Haruhi Gekisou.
This picture isn't taken by me since my camera sucks and can't get the quality of the figurine's detail so I Google this picture. All the small details that are into this one such as her guitar strings, necklace, hair, dress and so on really makes it worth buying comparing it to a cheaper version is huge difference. It's pretty big size about seven inches tall. I originally bought it last year for roughly 100 bucks and now it's selling 250 shipped on Ebay. Wow that's pretty crazy. Figurines are only worth a lot if it's really popular characters and are generally a limited release. Here's another picture of Haruhi Gekisou
Later today I'll be picking up a new phone, it's the Samsung Epic android phone from sprint. It has your fancy touchscreen and qwerty keyboard which is very nice. It's very bright screen and has a decent camera built in. My main reason for getting it is the keyboard and it's very fast. My old phone Samsung Rant is falling apart and it's about time I upgraded.
See you soon.
