  NEWS Import Outlook - Arrivals on Wednesday-Thursday

   The week begins with the US dollar plunging to 8-month lows against the Japanese yen. It's at 106.58 USD/YEN this morning and looks to plumb lower. We're already noticing the higher prices in this week's product quotes from suppliers but we're bearing the brunt thus far.
   Please note that Xbox Dead or Alive Ultimate has been delayed once again to next week. Both the Kasumi Blue Xbox bundle and the game will ship to preorders upon arrival. If we are able to stock additional quantities of the Kasumi Xbox for new orders, we will update accordingly.

Transformers Collection 17

Transformers Collection 18

  TOYS Transformers Collection 17 and 18 - January 2005

Transformers Collection 17 - Blitz Wing
   According to Japanese toy suppliers overnight, Takara's Transformers Collection 17 will feature the the mighty Blitz Wing which shifts from awkward-looking purple bot to sleek jetfighter to rugged tank. The triple changing Decepticon is packaged 12/case and NCS expects pricing at US$39. We are aware that various Transformers news sites have listed TC17 as Predaking but this appears to have changed. Again. We'll update any information once Predaking's status or stand-alone release is announced.
Transformers Collection 18 - Sound Blaster
   Once reported as Transformers Collection 17, Sound Blaster moves one position down to #18 and is now confirmed to ship in January. Sound Blaster pops from boxy robot to compact cassette with a near perfect rectangular shape. Similar to the original release of the toy in the 80s, the Sound Blaster reissue includes Buzzsaw. Even though Sound Blaster is packaged 12/case like many of the other Y3000 Transformers Collection toys, pricing is listed at Y5500 each for some reason. Maybe the cardboard box is bigger.
   Larger photos of both toys may be viewed.
