General Update

Other Toys Also Shipping
The Super Mario Mascot Light Series 2 arrived late yesterday and preorders have shipped already. We might be sold out by the time this is posted but we'll throw up a photo gallery on Monday if we have any remaining sets for our own use. The new
Shonen Jump 40th Anniversary Sofubi Figures arrived today but way too late to make it into today's update. We'll post a photo gallery and more details on Monday.
The Vacation That Never Ended?
One of our Japanese suppliers went on holiday last month and notified us but it appears they have gone out of business. None of our preorders have been processed in the past month and emails + faxes have gone unanswered. Phone calls to them lead to a machine with no ability to leave a message. This shouldn't affect our upcoming preorders too much but we're guessing the deposits we wired to them are gone. We're in the process of shifting some order/preorders over to other vendors but we'll try to minimize the impact that this will cause in the next few months.
Weekly Famitsu Skips a Week
The next issue of Weekly Famitsu (Vol. 1031) will arrive on Friday of next week since they're skipping publication this week. As usual, annual subscriptions are welcome.
