TOYS Portrait of Pirates One Piece NEO-DX Shiryu of the Rain - Import Preorder

NCS Preorder Synopsis
    A lascivious leer grimaces across the face of One Piece villain Shiryu of the Rain in Megahouse's upcoming Portrait of Pirates rendition of the former Impel Down jailer. Shiryu clenches a stinking cigar between his teeth and has his weapon ready to cut down all manner of opposition while a natty white overcoat billows behind him. Shiryu is sculpted to 1/8 scale (23.5cm or 9.25" tall) by artist Takashi Fukuda and preorders are welcome to ship in late February 2012.

    Please note that there appears to be a shortage of this figure based on alerts from Japanese vendors and supplies may be limited when launch day arrives.

Bye, Sandy

NCS Update
 «©NCSX» The datacenter where our ncsx.com server is colocated was knocked out by Hurricane Sandy last Monday night and it took about a week to get generator power restored to the building. The backup generator for the building is located on the roof but the fuel was stored in the basement which got flooded out by torrential rivers of water that sped through lower Manhattan at the height of the storm last week.

   The server's been up since yesterday so we're going to assume that things will be okay from here on out and service will continue uninterrupted. The site is being updated to a new format in December 2012 but the old archives will be kept online for revisiting so when we're in wheelchairs rolling around the office, we can still stare at pages like this one.

Generator power running in datacenter

The building that our datacenter is located in is currently running on generator power so our site at www.ncsx.com should be back up later today or Tuesday if there are any exigent issues. The lobby of the building doesn't look too bad considering that there was about 8 feet of water coursing through it last Monday night. A site redesign will be implemented in December 2012 for quicker updates that will be posted throughout the day.
