Bring & Buy

What is the Bring & Buy?

Disappearing under a mountain of things? Time for a clearout? The Bring & Buy is the perfect opportunity! Acceptable items include all manner of geeky items (not just anime or manga). So anything ranging from loot crate merch and bookish items, collectibles, tabletop gaming to general sci-fi, fantasy and of course Asian or gaming culture items are perfectly acceptable. Be it Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese etc.

Where: The TokoMart Marquees

When: Saturday 17th August 2024 from 10:00am to 6:00pm

We have a fairly lax policy with what is and isn't allowed; however keep it reasonable. No VHS at all unless it is something extremely rare in nature. For clothing please use your judgement, as long it is cosplay, k-pop/j-pop, gaming, Asian fashion or lolita related it should not be a problem. If you are unsure about a specific item you may want to bring; please get in touch and someone can let you know.
