TOYS Star Wars R2-D2 Sekai no Post Collection - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Back in the Spring of 2007, the US Postal Service planted a few hundred R2-D2 mailboxes across the USA in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars. There was one in front of the big JAF Post Office in Manhattan which we were tempted to "uproot" from the sidewalk but the local constabulary would've probably given chase. Besides, we weren't inclined to spend time incarcerated with bunkmates not of our own choosing.

When March 2010 rolls around, we'll get an R2-D2 mailbox of our very own. Except it's miniature and serves double duty as a Star Wars themed piggy droid bank which holds coins. There's no coin-slot on the bank but currency may be dropped inside R2-D2 by pulling on the mailbox door and slipping in dimes, pennies, and nickels. The mailbox measures 16cm (6.29") tall and is made of sturdy PVC with four spindly supporting legs.

Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late May 2010 at JPY2940 or US$38.90 from NCS.

TOYS One Piece 3D Mouse Pad - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» The girls of One Piece are generally attractive and have a bit of fashion sense. Nico Robin always looks chic and Nami looks better than most female pirates who spend their days on the high seas. The girls of One Piece are also very robust as evidenced by Morimoto's upcoming One Piece 3D Mouse Pads which feature three girls from the popular series as follows:

» Nami - Her expression seems to convey vulnerability as her ample bosom is barely constrained by a meager bikini.
» Boa Hancock - One of three Gorgon sisters who enjoys a human-appearance as opposed to her younger sisters. Boa's bosom on the mousepad is as plump as her bosom in the One Piece animated series.
» Nico Robin - Nic raises her arms because they just get in the way and all attention must be on her bosom.

The "3D" in the product title refers to the protruding "breasts" that jut out from the bottom of the pad. Preorders are welcome to ship in March 2010.
