NCS expects to start preorders for the Japanese Playstation Vita on Monday of next week after receiving a "first offer" for the hardware from Japanese suppliers last night. The initial trade pricing for the Vita is over the retail price of the handheld in Japan and we expect to supply the WiFi and 3G versions of the hardware. It's interesting to note that there is a price differential between Vita export shipments sent on December 16, 2011 and shipments sent on December 17, 2011. I.e, if we want them quicker, we'll pay a slight premium.
The 3G Vita bundles will also apparently come with a 'forced' 100-hour prepaid card (retail value of JPY4980) that we're obligated to buy with every 3G handheld that we import into the States. We'll clarify the details over the weekend and post a formal preorder offer on Monday.
NCS vends games and toys to customers around the world.

TOYS Taiko no Tatsujin Plush - Import Preorder
«©NCSX» Six years ago, NCS stocked 'Taiko no Tatsujin Hats' which were worn by fans of Taiko: Drum Master and the hats eventually sold out. We were hoping for an encore performance of the hats since they always sell but Banpresto's going to manufacture Taiko plush toys instead. The drum-shaped toys measure 12 centimeters or 4.72" in length, roughly 5" tall, and are squeezably soft. Although the Taiko plushes aren't proper hats, we think that someone might thread a length of cord through the body of the plush and strap it on top of his head. If anyone does it, we wanna see it. Preorders are welcome to ship in February 2011 st US$32.90 each. Due to the dimensions of this item, NCS recommends shipping by UPS Ground within the United States.
TOYS I Love Pikachu Dekai Fuwafuwa Nesoberi Plush Doll - Import Preorder
«©NCSX» A docile Pikachu in a diving position serves as the form factor for Banpresto's 'I Love Pikachu Dekai Fuwafuwa Nesoberi Plush doll' which measures 32cm or 12.59" in length. The 'A' version of the plush is bright-eyed while the 'B' version appears to be sleeping in contented fashion. Preorders for the Pikachu polypag plushes are welcome to ship in February 2011.
