TOYS Hello Kitty Kitchen Spice Rack - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Cooks and chefs use spices liberally when flavoring their food. On the other hand, college students who subsist on a diet of Eggos, frozen ravioli, and fish sticks don't have much need for spices outside of salt and pepper. With that in mind, NCS assumes that the demographic for today's Spice Rack would be chefs and cooks with love for Hello Kitty.

Measuring 13 x 11 x 22 cm in area and stocked with eight plastic containers topped with screw-on lids, the Spice Rack swivels on its base for easy access to all eight bottles of spice. When NCS gets our own Spice Rack, we'll fill the first two bottles with salt and pepper. Old standbys such as cayenne pepper, marjoram, basil, and thyme will take up another four bottles. For the final two, it'll be a toss-up between paprika and cinnamon or cilantro and cumin. Preorders are welcome to ship in late July 2010.

TOYS Crayon Shinchan Super DX Plush Summer Style - Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» If age-progression software was applied to the character named Shinnosuke Nohara, he'd grow up to become an average salaryman with thick eyebrows. Shin will probably have a paunch, a slouch, and a lopsided gait due to his misspent youth. Until Shin becomes old and infirm however, he's a young'un with boundless energy and a mischievous streak.

Banpresto celebrates Shinnosuke with a fixed-pose Super DX plush which measures 25cm or 9.84" tall and decks him out in summer clothing. Shin's shirt is decorated with three fuchsia-colored flowers. Joining Shin is his pooch Shiro who appears to be in a lounging posture. A flower may also be seen atop Shiro's head perhaps to indicate the bloom of summertime. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late July 2010 at US$39.90 each.

X360 BlazBlue: Continuum Shift - Import Preorder

PS3 Ryu Ga Gotoku 4 - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Fresh from his stint as proprietor of the Morning Glory orphanage in Ryu Ga Gotoku 3, Kiryu Kazuma steps back into the neon-lit world of the Yakuza. In the fourth Ryu Ga Gotoku game, Kiryu is accompanied by three cohorts named Masayoshi Tanimura, Shun Akiyama and Taiga Saejima. The four thuggish heroes enjoy their own storylines in the game and their escapades intertwine as the adventure unfolds. The base of operations for Kiryu and friends are the seedy streets of Kamurocho which is populated by Yakuza who ply their trade in houses of vice. Sega expands Kamurocho by allowing the exploration of the rooftops and the sewers for an added dimension of realism and mobility.
When Kiryu gets a chance to relax, he'll be able to play pachinko, table tennis, golf, go fishing, and enjoy the charms of bar hostesses. A visit to a massage parlor is also in the cards.
Early preorders will ship with a new issue of Kamutai Magazine which chronicles the locations, characters, events, and specialties in Ryu Ga Gotoku 4. The bonus magazine is being given away in 50% ratio.

Wii Monster Hunter Wii Remote Holder - New Import, In Stock

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» After we're done playing the latest Wii releases, the Nunchuk and Remote are generally strewn to the side. Underneath recent magazines. Next to the miniature Evangelion fridge.

There had to be a better way and Capcom shows us the path with their Monster Hunter Wii Remote Holder which coddles a Wii Remote and a Nunchuk in its cozy confines. The "Airu and Chacha" design on the front of the holder is not only artistic but somewhat interesting to stare at for about 3 minutes. The measurements of the holder are 15 x 19 x 9cm in dimension and we're assuming that it can serve a dual purpose as a fruit storage basket with a maximum capacity of two apples, lemons, or tangerines.

SOTW Fighter Stick X Zero 2 for Sega Saturn - Clearance

NCS Sale of the Week Offering: March 15, 2010
Original Release in Japan: August 09, 1996
«©NCSX» Brand new and factory boxed Fighter Stick X Zero 2 for the Sega Saturn which was released roughly 15 years ago. The lollipop-style joystick uses clicky micro-switches and the buttons are the "flat-feeling" variety which aren't too springy but they're just about right. Slap a button and it depresses easily and with a "flat feeling." The joystick and buttons are mounted on a wide base which covers a tabletop or a lap with its girth. Every joystick includes a sheet of Street Fighter Zero 2 decals and a Dan trading card which gives up his background and special moves

Product Condition
NCS' remaining inventory is brand new and factory boxed in the original cardboard container. The condition of the packaging is in excellent structural shape with little to no signs of wear or weathering. Flimsy cardboard retainers inside the box keeps the joystick somewhat stable and secure from shuffling around during shipping but we don't trust their integrity to withstand handling during transit. Due to this lack of trust, NCS will add some additional padding inside the joystick container to ensure that the sticks don't flop around and potentially break while in transit to customers.

Sale Offering
Pricing per Fighter Stick X Zero 2 is set at US$50.90 each. If you reside in the USA, NCS recommends UPS Ground shipping for the most economical domestic service. For our customers outside the USA, NCS recommends normal Airmail International service. «Photo Gallery»
