Ryu Ga Gotoku 3 Rise Dragon Bundle The release of the special Yakuza 3 bundle was delayed by a day to our distributors in Japan but the bundles have shipped as of last night and NCS expects delivery on Monday of next week. We don't have any surplus sets at this time and aftermarket vendors have raised the price by about JPY12,000 so we're holding off on ordering any more until we see a return to sanity. The Rise Dragon Bundle is limited to 10,000 units and based on what we see in our vendor database, there's at least 5 suppliers in Tokyo who are hoarding 20+ bundles at higher than normal prices.

King of Fighters XII Cabinet Kit We're tempted to reserve the KOFXII full cab kit that vendors started preorders for earlier this week. The kit includes two Viewlix-L (Blue) cabs, a VS communication kit, and two chairs. The price is JPY1,020,000 or roughly US$10,500 and the crating and freight cost would probably run another $1500. If we decide to bring one in, we'll take photos of the set-up.
