Pac-Man Hat - Restock Import, Shipping Today

«©NCSX» When faced with an emotionally disturbed individual on the streets of any bustling city, one may simply hustle across the street to bypass a potentially unpleasant encounter.

When faced with an emotionally disturbed individual (please direct your attention to the gentleman on the lower-left)... who just happens to be wearing a Pac-Man hat, one may be too mesmerized by the spectacle to do much. With your mouth agape and feet frozen by wonderment, the fates would have to excuse your momentarily loss of the flee instinct. However, NCS recommends the following actions:

1) Smile. If the individual has been enraged by some invisible slight prior to your timely engagement, your smile may placate its temperament.

2) Slowly move away. Put your back against a wall if possible. Any sudden movement may be seen as an insult/slight that's not so invisible.

3) Find a member of law enforcement and confirm with him or her that you're both seeing the same thing. At this point, the officer may mosey up to the Pac-Man-Hat-Wearer to affirm that everything is okay and that it's all just a little Halloween-ish delirium. In the middle of spring/summer...

Please note the description above is fiction. No allusions are being made to anyone who decides to purchase a Pac-Man Hat.
All backorders for the Pac-Man Hat are shipping today. Measuring a swarthy 12 x 12 x 8" in size, the hat is made of a plushy material and a retainer is located inside the inner "lips" of Pac-Man for stability and shape. The opening where one pokes his/her head through is stretchy to accommodate medium sized noggins as well as melon-like ones.

General Updates

NEWS Demon's Souls (Asian Version) Update Another shipment of Demon's Souls is expected tomorrow and all backorders received up until May 5, 2009 at 12:01 PM will ship on Thursday. Orders received after the aforementioned time will ship towards the end of May when the seventh production of the game is released. To avoid any confusion concerning the new inventory, please note that tomorrow's shipment is not from a new production of the game. One of our Hong Kong distributors had a customer who was not able to take their allocation of Demon's Souls and they decided to shift/ship the inventory to us instead.

NEWS Golden Week Holiday Update Japanese vendors will begin returning to work tomorrow after their week-long holiday. No new releases are scheduled for this week but NCS expects a restock shipment to arrive on Friday. If there are any holiday-induced flight delays, the restock will arrive on Monday.

Tron Mickey Mouse Vinyl Collectible Doll - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» Disney debuted the original Tron movie in 1982 and it eventually scored box office sales of roughly $30 million. Tron engendered a number of video games including a coin-op from Midway which featured a funky joystick controller. Although Tron isn't really a part of popular culture nowadays, Disney is planning a sequel to the original movie that's slated to bow in 2011 which is one year shy of the film's 30th anniversary. This year is as good as any to start peppering the marketplace with Tron merchandise and Medicom gets things started in Japan with a Mickey Mouse Tron figure.

The Mickster is garbed in the blue-lit outfit that the good guys in Tron wear and his pose indicates that he might be ready to engage in some serious disc hurling antics. The figure measures 12.50cm or roughly 4.90" tall. Preorders are welcome to ship in late September 2009 at JPY6090 or US$60.90 from NCS.
