Do you typically buy merchandise for your favorite franchises?

Isn't that the main reason why we buy the merch in the first place? Favorite anime, characters or designs is the standard model. Finding smaller items with favorite characters is rather satisfying when you stumble across it.

Just depends on how expensive the stuff is. I mainly buy Pokemon or Splatoon merch but recently haven't been able to get much pokemon stuff because of the pokemon center site CONSTANTLY banning me for "being a bot".

LOL thats kind of funny you got flagged for purchasing too frequently. Youd think bulk purchases of same items would be good flag but if you just buy a lot to trigger flag, that's a bit messed up... not you, but the site algorithm.

Maybe there is some way you can dispute your ill gotten tag and get access back

I once spent almost 100 on a small flygon figure in a shop just south of the akihabara area. Got many plushies that I can't display them all, a third are sitting on top of the seat sofa.

Yes, I have purchased my fair share of merchandise for Pokemon. It is probably a saving grace there are no Pokémon Centers in Australia or I would have gone crazy with the Sitting Cuties plush range. I would have gotten some Xenoblade merch if only most of them was not so expensive (only affordable ones are the Shulk and in the future Pyra/Mythra Amiibos).

pokemon centers arent your only worry, anime conventions are very dangerous on the wallet...

For me it sort of depends on what it is, if it’s within my budget, and how much I like it. I don’t really buy Pokémon plushies and I have two that I got from claw machines in Taiwan and had a Pikachu since 2006. I only bought my Jigglypuff because it was on clearance and I had a coupon to get it even cheaper. I rarely buy the TCG. With Mario, I’ve been only purchasing the widely available main LEGO sets for Mario and not worrying about the blind bags as they aren’t easily found in my area and I never saw Wave 2 and only Wave 3 at one store and I got the characters that I mostly wanted from that wave. All I need are the Bee and Frog Suit Power Up packs and then wait for the Luigi’s Mansion Wave. The only sets I’m missing are the promos.

If I have the money I sometimes buy anime figures from my favorite series including Pokemon, Demon Slayer, MHA and recently JJK. Sometimes clothes with anime characters on them but I mostly only wear those at home.

I do buy transformers figures. Not a ton of them but mostly any of my favorite characters from over the years. Except for the michael bay movie figures. Those have become really bland/boring lately and not accurate enough.

I tend to buy collectable anime figurines, although I haven't purchase as many in the past two years due to Covid-19 affecting my finances.
