Since its hard to find merchandise like artbooks and pins for less popular shows at the conventions I've gone to; I've thought about buying imported stuff online. Problem is, a lot of anime-selling shops like to use the word "import" as a synonym for "bootleg" (I guess because, if you get it from the streets of Hong Kong, it technically imported :rolleyes:).

So, does anyone here know any reliable shops selling legitimate Japanese anime goodies? A site based in the USA would be best ('cause of shipping costs and all that). But if you know of a good, reliable site based in another country; feel free to post that, too. Just make sure the sites you recommend are in English (I want to know what I'm buying, after all :))

You can always get stuff off Yahoo Japan Auctions. They are a few services that allow you to bid like Rinkya, or Masato.

Hobbylink Japan is good too. But most of their stuff goes out of stock quickly.
