SR Shooting Historica Vol. 4 Announced Yujin has started preorders for the fourth Shooting Historica gashapon toys and we'll open up our own reservations tomorrow. We were surprised to see the "Legend Silver Hawk Burst" ship from the recent Darius Burst in the set since we assumed Yujin would be releasing the toys in some sort of chronological order. At least the "Flint Lock" from Xexex is in there along with the "X-002" from X-Multiply.

Winds of Change in Japanese Wholesale Wholesalers in Japan have started changing the way they do business and credit appears to be in jeopardy. In the past 20 years that we've been buying from Japan, deposits were only required for big games such as Dragon Quest VII or Final Fantasy XIII but wholesalers are now asking for deposits on all releases. We're assuming a bunch of businesses went out of business in the past year which is forcing vendors to tighten their credit terms and/or eliminate them entirely. NCS won't be affected by the change but it's a signal that times aren't good in Japan.
