By far, the most popular venue for the whole convention is, and always will be, the massively sized dealer's room. With bargains to be had around every corner, the dealer's room was the place to make your anime dreams come true, for the right price, of course.
This year, the dealer's room was even busier than it had been in years past. Take a look at the mayhem that was the Anime Expo 2002 dealer's room.

 The front of the Pioneer booth, promoting the series ''Hellsing''. Creepy, ne. ^_^ |
 Bandai's booth boasted a large screen for showing off their titles, such as episodes of Love Hina. |
 The reverse angle of Bandai's booth shows off some of the tv screens where you could play with .hack, as well as view their large collection of toy merchandise. |
 The Robotech booth showed off a game from the franchise. |
 Genta, from Animate USA, cosplaying as the store's mascot, Anime Tenchou. |
 The ADV/Suncoast booth had many titles available for sale. it also tended to be the point of most traffic, as you'll see later. |
 Yes, that's smoke coming out of their booth. The booths this year for the major players reminded me a lot of the booths at E3. |
 The line for the dealer's room, at 3:00PM Saturday afternoon! I kid you not! The line was 90 minutes long at this point, even though the room had been open 5 hours at that point! |
 The crowd at the ADV/Suncoast booth. They're waiting for swag: Excel Saga T-Shirts. Now it's _really_ like E3. ^_^;; |
 ''ADV! ADV! ADV!'' The crowd roar was deafening, as guys with megaphones whipped the crowd into a frenzy. |
 I can't hear you!!! Yeah right. The crowd at that point was about the ONLY thing anyone could hear. |
