| Chinatown Fair Closing Doors Tomorrow is the last day of operations at Chinatown Fair (CTF) which babysat us when we were punk kids. It's been in operation for about 60 years and it's a dirty-ass, grimy, and sullen place but it had the latest fighters (usually) and we've wasted a lot of time there. So... yeah, it's gone after tomorrow. The store will be gutted and probably churned into another one of about 1,000 Chinese grocery markets in Chinatown but selling soda, pop rocks, and ginseng probably generates more revenue/profit than an arcade. C'est la vie. |
| Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets An early shipment of MMP & PS was dispatched from Japan last night and should arrive tomorrow. We'll be able to process about 80% of our preorders with the Wednesday shipment and the remainder will ship on Thursday. If you opted for overnight shipping, please note your order will arrive on Thursday of this week. Tracking numbers will be updated by 7PM EST tomorrow. |
| Nintendo 3DS The Japanese Nintendo 3DS and games are all scheduled to arrive on Thursday-Friday of this week. |

TOYS Okami-den Chibiterasu Face Mug with Lid - New Import
«©NCSX» NCS imported the Okami-den Teacup sets back in July 2010 but they're sold out now. We might get restock of the teacup set in a few weeks but in the meantime, e-Capcom has started preorders for another Okami-den inspired cup.
The Okami-den Chibiterasu Face Mug with Lid is what we'd describe as a 3D cup because the front features the plaintive mug of Chibiterasu and the handle on the back is painted like his tail. The sides of the cup are adorned with cloudy "fins" that protrude slightly outward. A green lid is included which may be clamped on top of the cup to keep beverages inside hot or cold. Preorders are welcome to ship on or around February 28, 2011 at JPY1890 or US$49.90 from NCS. Pricing reflects special arrangements to purchase and import the Chibiterasu Face Mugs from e-Capcom Japan.
The Mug measures approximately 9cm in height and approximately 8cm in diameter. The mug is made of china.

TOYS Okami-den Chibeterasu Mofu Mofu Slippers - New Import
«©NCSX» Do you pad around your apartment in fluffy slippers with a bunny on the bow? If you answered in the affirmative, you'll be able to pad around in wolf-helmed slippers soon enough. Capcom's limited edition Okami-den slippers are constructed of fluffy white polyester "fur" and measure 28cm in length which should fit most feet. For a fit that's more snug if your feet are small, you can don socks and pad around in a sock-filled-slipper ensemble.
Pricing reflects special arrangements to purchase and import the Chibiterasu Slippers from e-Capcom Japan. The slippers are made of polyester and measure 28 x 11cm.
