Riviera Yakusou no Chi Special Edition - In Stock

The Special Edition of Riviera is the USA version of the game repackaged for the Japanese market. Notable features in the re-release: » Faster loading times and a quick "exit to title screen" function » English or Japanese voice acting to accompany the written dialogue » Additional chapter that was once exclusive to the USA version

In Ragnarok, gods and demons fought and tore the world apart. In a last ditch effort, the gods sacrificed themselves to create the Grim Angels who put an end to the war and locked the demons away. After the carnage, the power of the gods remained in the holy isle of Riviera. A thousand years pass and the memories of the great war have faded. However, there are signs that the demons are slowly infiltrating the world once more.

To counter the impending threat, Grim Angels Ecthel and Ledah venture off in an adventure to prevent the potential destruction of Riviera, aka the Paradise Land. The game is broken up into simple movement, quest, and attack phases. Choose to move by pressing the "B" button and the heroes will automatically move as if the page were being flipped. Arrows delineate where the heroes may move and generally only one path is available per screen. If a treasure chest is encountered in an new area that the heroes have walked into, the Quest mode can be triggered by pressing "A" which allows one of the heroes to open up to chest and plunder its contents.

Arcana Heart Real Arcade Pro Joystick - In Stock

Yes, we know the price is silly but unfortunately we had to order these from Horistore.com and then have them shipped to an agent in Japan. Horistore doesn't ship directly to the USA. The agent then tacked on their 30% handling fees and then shipped them by Express service to the USA. We're making about $8 on each stick when priced at US$175. Since the price is exorbitant, we'll re-confirm with customers who inquired about the stick to make sure they're still interested.... which is unlikely. We also restocked the Hori RAP2 reproduction today but also at the high price.

Super Real Figure DX Series: Ikkitousen - Chou'un - New

Zhao Yun aka Chou'un Shiryuu hails from Seito High School and is armed with a Hyakuhekitou (Hundred Stone Sword) which is normally housed inside a black scabbard. When it's time to slash, the scabbard is shucked away to reveal the killing blade within. In the manga, Chou'un normally appears to be sleeping with her eyes closed but for her SRDX turn, her green eyes are wide open.

Yujin originally released the SRDX Ikkitousen Chou'un figure in Japan earlier this year and it's now time for Chou'un to take a bow in North America. The figure measures 15.25cm or 6" tall and is packaged with a pastel-blue stand and a mounting vice for display purposes. Chou'un's uniform appears to be in good shape until you peer at the area below her left breast - the cloth is slashed open to "accidentally" reveal a bit of skin.

Konami Figure Collection: Skygirls - Preorder

In the year 2071, robotic and highly malignant cell masses known as Weapon of Raid Machines aka WORMs have decimated the human population of Earth. Faced with extinction, mankind is forced to use unspeakable weapons to combat the WORMs but in the process, the continents are split and Antarctica sinks beneath the ocean. A massive loss of life is also suffered but the WORMs are extinguished.

Over a decade after the devastation, a contingent of WORMs is spotted amassing and preparing for another destructive wave. To combat the threat, three girls named Eika Ichijo, Karen Sonomiya, and Otoha Sakurano are recruited to battle the WORMs. The girls are known as Skygirls who pilot mighty exoskeletons (read: mechs) which are capable of fighting the WORMs. Konami has started preorders for a set of Skygirls Trading Figures which measure 12cm tall and are packaged randomly in boxes of 10. There are five standard figures (shown) and 1 secret figure. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late January 2008.

Sesame Street: Premium Big Elmo Plush - Preorder

Everything's bigger in Texas but things can get pretty honking big in Japan as well. NCS has peddled "life-size" renditions of Godzilla, Gamera, and Gundam but those three are meant to be big. Elmo is generally a smallish beast which gurgles out high-pitched noises when tickled but he's apparently growing up.

Preorders are welcome for a 132cm or 51.96" tall Elmo plush which towers over all of his stateside plush counterparts. Whereas little Elmo looks somewhat cute, the oversize Elmo looks downright disturbing. It's the eyes. Preorders are welcome to ship on or around October 31, 2007.

Import Shipment Delayed

Due to an overnight shipment delay, please note that all of this week's new Japanese imports are scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning. If the shipment somehow makes it in this afternoon, we'll update our website accordingly. Based on tracking information this morning however, it looks like everything is en route for Friday.
PS2 World Heroes Gorgeous leads preorders for this week followed by the new Galaxy Angel II game. There's some interest in Seaman 2 but the subject matter may be too strange to appeal to today's mass audience.
