Merchandise List

Compiled by Lawrence Eng with assistance from Christian Cain and the members of the lain ML

This list is always in progress. There is no guarantee of accuracy, and there are still a lot of details to be filled in. If you notice any mistakes or know of other items, please let me know.

(Note: I've removed all unlicensed (bootleg) goods from this list. Support the creators of lain and buy the originals!)
