Here are a few I took as well at WonderFestival. Thanks Data for the Great photos!!

Just a few pics to show how fxxking long they were. I was on the first train and was at least three thousand deep!!

The line behind me

In front of me (that's only a partial view, the other thousands of people are out of view)

Last bridge to cross before the entrance

The door is in sight

Image

Oh did I say it was freezing out?

Image

Up next from Rumble Monster "Dragon Engine". I'm not a fan of this one.

Image

All of the Rumble Monster stuff was sold out by the time I got there, but I was able to grab the last Black Scud figure. I was at the booth about 15 minutes after the doors opened :cry:

I was also able to grab the last Strawberry, before they all sold out as well. The Red and other color to the right were pre-sales.

This Bemon was auctioned off (only One):

All Gargamel (both sets) were Sold Out :cry:

I didn't buy this Orange RxH figure, but he did sell. The 30,000 yen was for the three pieces.

Image

My modest scores, the Balzac/Merry figures were from a trade:

The lines moved pretty quickly once the doors opened. They actually started moving everyone closer as it got closer to 10:00.
The doors opened at ten and I was really thousands of people back. It was a steady flow and I got in around 10:15 to see Gargamel SOLD OUT, all of the Rumble Monsters SOLD OUT except the one (and I got the last one), I got the last Longneck also. Shit is really limited and really crazy!!

Yes all the Rumble Monsters were for sale except the new car figures.

I was on the first train (5:08 AM). That got me there a little after 6:30.
I just couldn't believe the line. Big Sight is on the right as you exit the station, but I had to go to the left. A long way to the left.
I was really surprised how quickly the lines moved.
I knew I was in trouble when I got to the Gargamel table and no one was in line :cry: Same for pretty much all the tables.
The one thing that saved me was all the crazy ass porn. I think that's what most of the Japanese Otaku were there for. The lines for that shit were crazy!!!! :!:

Imagine making the trip overseas to Japan to hit these festivals and STILL not being able to score the goods! I would surely take the trip if there was a chance I'd leave with a handful of Cronic and Blobpus's's's's. Oh well, you can always numb the pain with sake and hookers.

Overnight? More like weeks in advance!! NO SHIT!!!!! I think they hired the homeless for something like 500 yen a night (less than $5).

Straight up! Awesome, I've camped for stuff in the past (most recently Wii) it's fun if you get a crew.

The sheer mass of people is insane (although, I guess, no less insane than SDCC). However, camping out for a week in the freezing cold? That's more dedication than I've got.
