General Updates

Mario Sofubi Toys In Stock
Our shipments of the new Mario Soft Vinyl toys arrived today but too late in the morning to update the photos and such. We'll post photos tomorrow but all preorders will ship this afternoon. New orders are welcome for the Mario Sofubi Figure 3 and the Super Mario DX Sofubi Figure 7 to ship today.
Japanese Yen Ascendant
Prices for all Japanese goods have ratcheted up over the past few weeks due to the strength of the yen against the US dollar. There's no solace when we purchase from Hong Kong either since the HK$ is pegged to the US dollar and prices from Asian vendors have risen even more than our Japanese suppliers. As an example of the recent price increases, our average cost for PS3 Shirokishi Monogatari went to US$66 per copy as of Monday. That's before import shipping costs.
