Show off your convention merch!

[Apple Bloom 2,915]

Alright, I haven't seen another thread for this yet, so forgive me if a similar one already exists. Basically, the title explains it all. If you attended BronyCon or any other pony convention, feel free to show off the swag you bought there. I made this thread with BronyCon 2015 in mind, but I'm not limiting it to that because I feel that it can be used again in the future and for other cons. Also, I know some people were unable to attend this year but they may have attended in the past, so they can still post their merch from previous years if they want.

 

Anyway, here's what I bought at BronyCon this year:

 

(You can click to zoom in, though small details are blurry)

 

Starting at the top left and working downward to the right:

Posters from Enterplay (the company that makes trading cards and the MLP CCG)

John de Lancie's autograph

Nightmare Moon figure (from WeLoveFine.com)

Comic books (some con exclusive, though I don't know which, and one limited edition signed)

Andrea Libman's autograph

BronyCon 2015 trading card

Hilton Hotel room key cards

MLP CCG cards

Rainbow Dash glider (they were given out for free)

More trading cards (one from BronyCon 2014)

Art print by Skimlines (signed)

Buttons/Pins (some Steven Universe ones because I  Steven Universe!)

Light wand (hand made by Sweet Apple Amperes)

Lanyard with badge and pins (blue ribbon is from participating in a Mario Kart 8 tournament, which I won the first round but lost the second)

CMC and Pinkie Pie tag thingies

Pony Quest NES game (original fan-made game that actually works in a real NES)

Mascot pony coloring page (I like to color (don't judge me!  ) but unfortunately I didn't get to at the con, so I grabbed a page to bring home)

Con book

Brony Thank You Fund 2016 calendar (You donate $12, you get a calendar and a pin)

Business cards (tried to grab as many as I could. Don't ask why)

Official BronyCon 2015 poster (I also have a shirt, but it's currently in the wash)

Splatoon poster (Splatoon is awesome and I love the artwork so I had to get it)

K-On!/MLP crossover wall scroll (with a slight defect on Rarity's face   )

 

I also wanted to get a plushie, preferably a handmade one, but unfortunately I ran out of funds. I'm happy with what I got though and I can't wait to see what other people got.

That's a good amount of stuff. I would love to get those posters.

I only got a few things since I was on a tight budget but what I did buy I was very satisfied with.

I ended up spending more then I had intended. I'm happy with my haul, but I still want an Adaigo Pony, Rarity, and Chrysalis plush. Most of the one's there were really expensive. I think the vendors have a right to ask what they want for their work, but...some of that was an aweful lot. If anyone knows any Plush makers who take payment plans let me know. Here's most of what I got. I did also get some Slugbox prints but I don't think I can post those. 

 

I got my Pinkie Pie signed by Andrea Libman. I should have gone Friday, because Saturday took nearly 2 and a Half hours. Should have worn pads in my shoes...oh well I learned my lesson.

These conventions look like they have so much cool stuff

They do! There is so much stuff, and it's not even all pony related. (as you can see in some of the pictures) They even had a booth set up at BronyCon that was nothing but non-pony comic books. I believe if you had a rich friend that isn't into ponies, you could bring them along and they could still spend all their money.

I have three years worth of stuff from San Diego Comic Con.

I got thes wristlet thingy's!  Now that it's fall I think I can get away with wearing them outside my apt!!

Here was my catch at PonyconNYC 2015

 

Including the Pinkie Pie and the deck of MLP CCG cards in the back.

 

 

Here's what I got from Bronycon 2015

 

The ones that were actually taken in Baltimore (and just have to be upside down)

There is a pin on my lanyard that was gotten from a booth in the vendor hall where they were giving away the first badge was free

 

And the ones that were taken after I returned home

Trixie was not bought at Bronycon, but she did tag along on the trip.

 

 

I had very little money for Ponycon, but having no money for Bronycon was really no excuse since I had a summer job. I could have bought more, even with the aid of my sister, but I chose not to.
