1. I don't have much close family aside from one or two I guess, and my close friends like anime and the such as well. 2. Yeah, I never know, but if I do, I can always re-sell it, right?

Get actual Blu-Rays and DVDs of the shows you like. Support the industry.
Room decs like posters and s*** can be gotten for free at cons, events and any magazine you happen to subscribe to, among other sources. G's Magazine comes with a free figurine most of the time as well as spreads, I got a free participation award poster at a con etc.
As for cosplay, well I can't say much about it, but I happen to airsoft occasionally so I can cosplay as a faceless soldier from Call of Duty or some other game if I felt so inclined to. I would advise against this unless you go to a lot of costume parties or have more than one use for the costume.

Well, cosplay is intended for use for whatever comes along, but nothing is really planned.

Personally I say get the figurines/posters/whatever else.
Dunno, cosplaying never really appealed to me :/

Books are complete robbery I mean seriously, $30+ for something you're more than likely to read 3 times? No way! IIRC, some larger libraries have manga so you can just get it there for free~ _________________ Parents - Ray fletcher, Blue Mage(?) Married to - Deux Children - Geno

I like having a personal library. I still re-read books I've acquired over the years including the old issues of White Dwarf I have.

That's Japanese manga The reason English manga is slightly more expensive is due to the quality of the ink and pages being higher. With Japanese manga, if you hold the page up to the light, you can see the other side.
