General Updates

PS3 Dual Shock 3 A shipment of the Japanese PS3 Dual Shock 3 controller [available in either Ceramic White or Black] is scheduled to arrive on Friday or Monday. New orders are welcome to ship upon arrival. Pricing is set at JPY5500 or US$65 from NCS but the price should drop after the holiday crush that's now upon us. Suppliers took delivery of about 3500 units of each color yesterday but if that bulk doesn't sell quickly, expect quicker price drops...

TOYS SR Shooting Video Game History Gashapon Based on pro-forma invoices from last week, Yujin's shooter gashapon collection should be shipped from Japan this week. If everything goes according to plan, NCS will process and ship preorders by next week. We'll throw up big and glossy photos once the toys are in stock.

TOYS Kinu Nishimura Mai Shiranui Figure The second production of the highly anticipated Mai Shiranui ships from Japan this week and NCS expects delivery within 5-10 business days. We may be able to accept new preorders but we'll post an update when the figures arrive and are ready to ship.
