KKBK Helicopter

Bonus AH-64D toy included

Global hotspots

  PS2 Kyoushuu Kidou Butai: Kougeki Helicopter Senki - New
   After winning kudos for their line of rescue helicopter sims, Ask Kodansha adapts their versatile copter game engine for the purpose of war. Terrorist groups are staging attacks and other acts of sabotage across the world in separate theaters of conflict. One faction has created a blockade in an important shipping channel in order to disrupt trade while another hopes to topple the government of an already shaky principality.
   To combat the threat, mighty helicopters are summoned to go on lightning strike missions where players control an AH-64D Apache Long Bow (the latest gear), a KA-52 Alligator (Russian-made, high mobility and all-weather), or an AH-1W Super Cobra. A total of five copters are selectable at the outset of the game but two additional war machines may be unlocked. Each copter has strengths and weaknesses in terms of mobility, operating conditions, and weaponry. For example, the KA-52 Alligator may be used in stealth missions while the AH-64D Apache may be used to devastate enemy tanks and aircraft with its armor piercing missiles. The controls are intuitive and players man the copter through the Dual Shock 2 thumbsticks while the buttons are used for weapon fire, locking-on, and perspective change. The game may be viewed from the cockpit of a helicopter, from a camera outside, or from the vantage point of your target. As an added bonus for copter fans wary of import software and the Japanese therein, the game is entirely in English.
   A 1/144 scale AH-64D Apache Longbow toy is included with every order.
 
 

Princess Maker 2

  PS2 Princess Maker 2 - New Import
   As a mighty warrior turned doting father, Princess Maker 2 puts players in charge of a growing teenager named Olive. Sent from the heavens in gratitude for the player's military prowess in repelling a demon army, Olive is only 10 years old at the outset of the game and very much a blank slate. She'll need a love, education, work experience, and overall guidance in order to become an upstanding member of society when she reaches 18 years of age. In her early years, Olive will learn basic skills and develop her constitution, aptitude, and other attributes.

   An entire population of characters in the kingdom all contribute to helping Olive learn various skills and improve her popularity, combat acumen, and/or refinement which in turn help to decide her eventual profession in life. Once she leans towards a certain vocation and turns age 14, Olive will attract rivals depending on her skill sets. For example, if she is a fighter type, a girl named Anita Cassandra becomes her thorn. If Olive is more suited for housework, a gal named Marthia comes knocking as her rival for the title of domestic doyenne. The graphics in Princess Maker 2 are much improved over the PC original with full color and Olive speaks with full vocals.
 
 

Binaltech BT-08 Robot Mode

Binaltech BT-08 Mazda Mode

  TOY Binaltech BT-08 Featuring Mazda RX-08 - New Import
   NCS opened up preorders for the Binaltech BT-08 all the way back in April of this year. After a swap-around with BT-07 and many months, Takara and Mazda's collaboration finally reaches market after being released earlier this week in Japan. Autobot lieutenant Meister (aka Jazz) serves as the Transformer model and changes from bulky, barrel-chested bot to sleek 2004 model Mazda RX-08. Similar to previous Binaltech toys, the hood and trunk both pop open and the tires roll and rotate in various directions. A detailed transformation guide also walks players through the process of turning Meister into a car.

   The default color for the Binaltech BT-08 preorder was white but there's also equal quantities of a wine-red variant that's billed in the pamphlet as a clone of Meister named Zoom-Zoom. The booklet mentions that Meister teaches Zoom-Zoom the art of dancing and singing from time to time. Since there are two colors in equal quantity for this particular Binaltech, we'll contact all customers by email today to reconfirm color preference. Please be advised that we will try to give everyone their first color choice from our stock and ship this afternoon.
