Yeah, I spent my entire weekend in Seattle at a big convention called Sakuracon. Even if you aren't in to anime itself, you have to realize that Video games by and large are technically anime, so it's my one stop shop for tons of shit you just wouldn't be able to find without shopping online. First up, T Shirts. They are all from the Orange Box game, and chances are, 90% of you here won't get any of the jokes. I got a cute little figure set featuring characters from Phantom Hourglass. They all come with accessories too. Link comes with the Phantom Hourglass, Zelda/Tera comes with a little heart container, Linebeck comes with a rupee and map, Goron comes with his kid, and the Phantom comes with a Triforce piece: This is just a kick ass poster of Kirby blowing shit up as Snake: Here are random gaming things I picked up as well. They include: Mario coins, a Penny Arcade autographed laser cell, freebies from Microsoft (Conker, a yoyo and a 360 zipper pull), and my personal favorite: Arkanoid DS, complete with paddle controller! And last but not least, a SHIT TON of MGS stuff. I got 4 out of the 5 Medicom 20th Anniversary MGS figures (Raiden, MGS2 Snake, MGS3 Snake, and MGS4 Snake. I don't buy the 5th figure because it was more of an MGS4 Snake variant than anything), a mystery Kubrick box that included an MGS4 Raiden, and the Metal Gear Music Collection.

No, but there was a SHIT TON of Transformers stuff. PS: I HIGHLY recommend Arkanoid DS. I know you guys would only be able to buy it online, but it's fucking fantastic. I think it's seeing a release here in states this summer. But I just couldn't wait, most of the words are in English anyways. And it looks to be paddless as well.

Probably still cheaper than BBTS anyway. How the hell does the paddle controller work for the DS?

It's pretty awesome, and it's supposed to work with Space Invaders Extreme, which is bad ass too.

The MGS 3 Naked Snake is the best of the set. The MGS2 Snake is kinda goofy looking in that pose/the expression on his face, Raiden is fine, MGS4 Snake is okay, but he's a pain in the ass to stand and doesn't have a holster for his knife MGS3 Snake is just in a bad ass pose and has the single most detail out of all three of them, from the wire going from his ear to his radio, a knife holster on his calf with removable knife, holster on his chest with removable knife, removable silencer, it's just the best of the set hands down.
