Comiket 93 is going down now. Anyone here going there in person? What are you guys looking forward to or have bought already?

Second post has a rip of the C93 DVD catalog. Comiket offers plenty of music, games, doujins, and other merch like tapestries or mousepads.
>I'm not in Japan. Where can I order most of this stuff?
Melonbooks, d-stage, akibaoo, tand Toraoana. Neither MB nor Tora ship outside of Japan so you'll need to use forwarding services or proxy services. It may not be too late to order something since it's usually the more popular and very niche works that sell out first. That's not the case for music and SFW material. The buyfag.moe guide will tell you all about proxy/forwarding services. Personally, I use Biginjap for forwarding.
>Why buy doujins when everything is uploaded to the panda?
There are tons of great stuff that's never uploaded and once you start shopping you'll notice how much is missing. Especially SFW material. It also means you don't have to deal with low quality uploads. More niche stuff will also never get uploaded unless someone is paid most of the time.
