One of the things people always ask me about comic con
Is how expensive it is
Is it cheaper than online?
And how much it costs for different sorts of things
So this video's a walk around the show
So you can see how much things are
The next comic con's coming up
On the 26-28 October
That's at ExCel in London
It's every May & October
I'm going to be there every day
With my stall Cakes with Faces
Here's where I'll be: in the North Hall
Behind the Pop Asia section
Now comic con is really huge
And it can be difficult to find things
Every time there's always someone
Who says they couldn't find my stall
So I'll be putting this floor plan on Facebook and Twitter
I'm Cakes with Faces on both of them
So come & say hello
And tell me you saw my video
I'll have some new stuff at the show
I'll have my new kawaii Hawaiian
Kawaiian dresses
My new hedgehog scarves
Which have been really popular so far in the pre-order
And my new Winosaurs t-shirts
Vintage 150 million years BC
And everything you see on my stall
Is my own original design
You can see them all on cakeswithfaces.co.uk
If you're new to Cakes with Faces
I also make videos about Japan
I make travel vlogs
And tips to help you plan your trip
They're all on my channel
So let's go back in time
Back to last May
When I took a walk around comic con
To show you how much things cost
I'm sorry I couldn't film more
When I'm there I'm always busy running the stall
So I can't always film as much as I really want to
But I hope it helps
A lot of stalls do take cards now
Because you can get the little card readers
These ones!
But not all of them
So it is worth bringing cash with you
There are some cash machines
But the queues get really long
And it's juts a waste of your time
To be standing in the queue
For an hour - hopefully they're not that long!
The food is expensive
Because you're at an exhibition centre
And they always put the prices up
Because you're a captive audience here
And they know people are going to get hungry
There's lots of places to eat along the centre concourse
Of ExCel
There's also Japanese food stalls
Which are also pretty expensive
I think if you're going to buy food
You might as well go for them and have something different
That you might not normally be able to get
Or if you want to save money
Just bring food with you instead
Some stalls charge more at the show
Because it does cost a lot to be here
And some have lower prices at the show
There isn't really a general rule
On my stall
The prices are slightly lower
Or the same as online
Because I think, as you guys have paid to get in
You should get a special treat
And have some special prices at the show
So my t-shirts online are £16
And here they're £15
And there's also a special offer of 2 for £25
You'll see a lot of the same things repeated throughout the show
So it's worth shopping around
And finding the best prices
And which store you want to buy from
If you're buying clothes
Check what their policy is on returns
In case you get the wrong size
Or you want to swap them
If you're buying something like figures
Check the name of the store
And get their details
Make sure they're a reputable company
To make sure the merchandise is genuine and officially licensed
Some people think you can get bargains
On a Sunday
And at the end of the day
All the stalls will be slashing their prices
Maybe some stalls do that
But I haven't really seen it that much
Most of these stalls will be going on to
Lots of different cons and events
Or they might have online shops
So that not really that interested
In getting rid of everything at the end of the show
But if you do want a bargain
It can't hurt to ask
But don't push it if they say no
Most things in the Comic Village
Are about under £10
You can get prints, comics, badges
For just a few pounds each
And a lot of these people do commissions
For really quite cheap prices as well
When you consider the work they put into them
Some of the larger prints cost a bit more
But it's pretty good value
And of course the special thing about the comic village
Is you can meet the artist who's done the drawing
Which is really something special
There's also lots of retro games
They're not particularly cheap
But you can have a look at them before you buy them
In general I'd say
Comic con isn't really a place to go for cheap things
But it is a place to go for lots of things
That you wouldn't normally be able to buy in the shops
So you can pick them up
And have a look at them before you buy them
So I hope you found that useful
Again, sorry I couldn't film more for you
If it's your first time at comic con
You can see a bit more of what it's like
In my other videos
Which are all on my channel
I'll be back with new Japan videos every Thursday
So I'll see you there!
Bye bye!
