Well I mean thats not all I got :-\. But yes, I didn't take as many pics of cosplayers :P. Partly b/c I didn't know what they were even supposed to be dressed as :P. Also I got a significant number of pics from last year. And the costumes don't change much :P. And b/c I just didn't feel like asking people to stop so I could take a photo. It takes a bit to get their pics :P

You could go to an antique shop :P. But those places can get weird, especially if the owner starts following you around :P. But thats like almost every private owned store in NY.

IDK if your country (sweden right ???) has a toys'r'us. But there is a huge flagship(i think) toys'r'us in times square ;D. Geeky toys till the eye can see :D. There are also comic stores and toy stores all around NY that will sell nice stuff. Midtown comics(one of the places at comic con) has stores in NY so you can look for them.

It would help if we knew what general area you where staying at (ex: near central park. although if that were true get ready to get swarmed by zombie hobos ;D)

Ahh well I'm a super gamer and there are a couple of places I could tell you about here in Brooklyn. We have this place called Kings Games. The place has everything you can imagine from Russian Magic the Gathering Cards to Video games, Computer gaming/ Internet Cafe, WoW, Tourneys, etc.
We have another little place here close to where I live called Pinocchio's, its a card/comic book store. They specialize in Comics and Sports paraphernalia but they have pretty much anything collectable, the owners collect everything you can imagine.

Mililtaria? Well this is New York so the stuff is a tad harder to come by, for that you should go out of the city, Pennsylvania being my choice due to a ton of Veterans families there. However you should visit some Pawn Shops (Second Hand shops, if you prefer them to be so called, but more for valuables, than for clothes) they always have something. My friends and I once came across a German Hunting Rifle circa. 1780s for about $1200, but it was a beauty, so worth getting (why AM I SO POOR, oh wait I go to High School :P).

Well its an antique since it is made before 1898 (or so, not too sure on date) so I don't need a permit to keep it, but to shot it I would need to bring it to a gun smith to make sure it is fire-able, then take it to a Black Powder authorized gun range (very few of those around) and shoot it there
