GBA Warehouse Removal Item #9 - Stickboy Advance x 25

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» This is kinda embarrassing. We have a few hundred of these Stickboy Advance accessories remaining in our inventory. We sold a few hundred of them over the years but maybe we should've tried pushing them a little harder when the Gameboy Advance was still being actively used. We'll know next time.
   The Stickboy is an overlay for the Gameboy Advance which adds a screen cover, a thick D-pad, and handy grips for an improved user experience. Please note that we're not sure what colors are in each box but you'll probably receive mostly pink or purple. Pricing is set at US$29.90 for 25 pieces which is $1.19 each. Sell them for $3.90 at the 2011 E3 or something.

PS2 Warehouse Removal Item #10 - Piposaru Storage Rack

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» It's unclear why we bought so many of these back in the day. We don't even like Piposaru. In any case, this is a heavy-duty plastic Playstation 2 stand on wheels which can store a Playstation 2 original or slim on top. It'll also accommodate a Nintendo Wii but the platform isn't wide enough to accept a Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. A clear plastic cover on top keeps your console dust-free when it's not in use. A shelf is built into the front of the unit which can store games, accessories, contraband, or whatever else is lying around your game room. Please note that some of the cardboard boxes that hold the Piposaru Stands are slightly warped due to years in storage but the contents are brand new, fresh, and sealed in plastic. 

PS2 Warehouse Removal Item #11 - Playstation Shells x 10

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» In last week's "Warehouse Removal Item #5," NCS recounted the console mods that were once performed on our premises. We also did Playstation shell mods for customers who were uncomfortable with swapping their gray shells for colorful ones. As such, we have a few hundred gray shells that seem too nice and structured to throw out into the trash. Some of them are dusty but use a towel to wipe them and they're as good as almost new. This listing is for 10 gray Playstation shells at US$22.90 shipped. The UPS Ground shipping cost is about $16 so you're getting them for a measly 69 cents each. If we had the time, we'd make modern art with the shells. For example, stack ten of them together and call it "Towering Playstation Gangster." We're sure MOMA would call.

X360 DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu v1.5 - Preorders Welcome

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Preorders for the regular edition of DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu v1.5 are welcome starting today but please note that there might be an allocation issue with the limited edition of the game. We'll clarify the details on Monday or Tuesday of next week and open orders then. We've never had a problem when it comes to ordering enough copies of the regular edition of a Cave shooter to qualify for bulk quantities of the limited edition but we prefer to proceed cautiously especially when the yen's at 15 year highs.
   The first printing of the regular edition includes a bonus DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu v1.51 DLC card which appears to be the same card that was given away at the Cave Festival back in August. The limited edition of the game will ship with a DoDonPachi Special Arrange CD with compositions by Kenji Itou and Kouta Takahashi. Pricing is US$76.90 for the regular edition and we expect to price the limited edition at US$115.90. Please note that both versions of DoDonPachi Daifukkutsu are expected to be region-coded for Japan only. This means a Japanese Xbox 360 is required to play them.

TOYS Queen's Blade Rebellion: Luna Luna - Import Preorder

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» There's been some controversy with regards to Luna Luna's gender amongst the Queen's Blade Rebellion fanbase. We think she's a girl but others have speculated that he's a man. The evidence to back up their speculation? The protective "cup" that protrudes from Luna's genital area. The thing looks like a little horn and it's real curious. Repeat: curious.

   To maintain civility and decorum, NCS is just going to assume that Luna is a genetic female who will never have the descriptor of "post-op" or "transgender" assigned to her biography. The MegaHouse production of Luna Luna is a 1/8 scale figure which measures 23cm or 9.06" tall. Why does Luna have an orange-hued spray-tan on? Well, it's not really a spray tan - according to Luna's bio, she lives in the jungle where she protects sacred ruins from interlopers. To dazzle would-be raiders of lost cities, Luna dances and she's aided by four tentacles which protrude from her hair. Tentacles are curious... and there's four of them. Preorders ship in January.
