Especially at "dealers and artists only" comic conventions. Got business cards from a couple of artists who aren't accepting commissions at the moment, passed by other artists who were either too busy or drew in a style I didn't like, bought a few goodies.
For those who wanted "RWBY in the original Japanese" (yes, I know), there's now a RWBY manga by Shirow Miwa. Viz has the NA rights: ISBN 978-1-4215-9512-2. Haven't had time to actually read it yet, but doing a quick flip through the first few pages and seeing Team RWBY in Japanese-style school uniforms is ... well, it's something. Oh, and it isn't a retelling of the original story: there's a set-piece Ruby vs. Cardin fight in chapter 1.
One of the dealers was selling "no box" figures. I picked up a couple of Sakuras - Shinguuji and Kinomoto - and a Misaka Mikoto. (Left Saber and Rin behind.) Since they're older with no-box, they go on display soon.
On, and got a couple of decks of cards with K-On! backs. They appeared to be legit.
