General Updates

Japan on Holiday
Suppliers were on holiday last night for Shunbun no Hi (Vernal Equinox Day) and no shipments were dispatched. As such, the remainder of this week's new imports should make it in by Friday of this week.
Aquapict Once Again
There was a surge of orders for the Aquapict after a mention in the Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition (March 9, 2007). All remaining backorders for the Aquapict will ship today and new orders are welcome. If we sell out again over the course of the next few days, another batch should be forthcoming within 10 business days.
After witnessing the rush of orders for a niche import product, we can safely say that print isn't dead... as long as the right audience is reading. Now if we can only convince the WSJ to list some of our old toys in their next Japanese merchandise feature.
