:D I was thinking of going as Touma myself, but I didn't muster up enough of the proper materials, especially the wig. Plus, I wear prescription glasses, so I figured "Broducer might be a better choice for me.

Thing I've found is that a lot of the time, you can find something at a con online, and if you know where to look, you can often get it cheaper. Even more, some stores sell import games and systems, but they don't tell you whether you're getting the Asian or Japanese versions.
Imagine seeing a CD selling for 25 bucks, when you can buy it in Japan for 13. Factoring in international shipping, you're paying about the same amount... but then you can buy other things from Japan as well, and pay the same shipping fee across all the stuff you get at once.
So, I tend to look for stuff that I can't easily find. Figures are something I keep an eye on too, since you can inspect the figure right there. Finally, there's the impulse buys.

Hmm, I ought to keep that in mind next time, especially if I see a Japanese import game I'm interested in (iM@S SP, 2, etc.).
Yodudes0:
I'm a bit late, but welcome!
I also like Zelda, Digimon, Pokémon, Love Live!, and Neptunia (only the show, as I don't have a PS3).
If you have Android or an iOS device, you can get a Neptunia app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hyperdimension-neptunia-app/id579845288?mt=8). There's also a Japanese version if you prefer Japanese voices.
If you have an iOS device and a Japanese iTunes account, you can get a Love Live! app.
I'll leave you with an image from the 6th episode of the Neptunia anime (1. The Chihaya picture isn't there in the show. It's just for reference. 2. It's also a K-ON! reference because her hair and guitar are like Azunyan's.):
Anyway, have fun while you're here!
