PLEASE READ: The NEW SHOP is separate and distinct from the OLD SHOP. If you place an order on the OLD SHOP, you will not be able to use the NEW SHOP to check on your order and vice versa. Unfortunately, we were not able to resolve the two shop databases in order to transfer customer histories and accounts. Both shops are fully operational and capable of taking orders.
 

PS2 Heavy Metal Thunder JPN
 PS2 Heavy Metal Thunder - New Import
   In the year 2980, three things still haunt an alternate universe version of Japan: heavy metal music, brightly colored robots, and masses of slavering fans hungry for both vocations. Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh have long faded from the landscape but foot-long robot wrestlers have taken over the mindshare of the populace. Skilled operators control the miniature robots with simple commands in one-on-one battle to throngs of cheering onlookers.
   Holding true to formulaic plot arcs found in other stories, Heavy Metal Thunder follows the trials of an underdog who grows into a world <more>
 
 

TOYS DQ8 JPN
 TOYS Dragon Quest VIII Play Arts Figures  - Preorder
   Kotobukiya has started preorders for polyvinyl chloride DQVIII figures that are non-scale but measure approximately 8" tall from top to toe. The four characters featured are: Hero in yellow jumpsuit, Jessica to his left, the brawny Yangus to his right, and Kukule standing behind everyone in mongering fashion. The limbs of each figure are posable and little accessories are included with each toy which may be affixed or held.
   Kotobukiya is supplying the figures in awkward ratios with Yangus and Kukule being rarer than the Hero and Jessica in every factory case of toys. Preorders are welcome today for retail delivery in mid-late October 2005. Pricing is set at Y3800 or US$39 per figure.
 
 

TOYS Sesshaomaru JPN
 TOYS Inuyasha PVC Figures - Preorder  
   The first series of Inuyasha 1/8 scale PVC figures (featuring Inuyasha and Kagome) are shipping later this month but Kotobukiya has opened up preorders for the next three figures in the Inuyasha series - Miroku (17cm tall), Sango (18cm tall), and Sesshomaru (22cm tall). The new crew is also set to 1/8 scale and include a little base for display purposes. 
   Pricing is set at Y3500 or US$39 per figure from NCS. Retail delivery is scheduled in mid-late October 2005. 
 
 
 NEWS General Updates 
   All backorders for NDS Jump Superstars will ship today and 1/3 of the outgoing shipments will include a bonus Shonen Jump booklet. The book supply appears to be the final batch that we will receive as we have noticed that overseas vendors are hoarding and selling the booklets for upwards of $20/pop. We imagine that if this wasn't going on, we'd receive 1:1 books to give out or at least a ratio better than 1:3.
   Toy shipments for the Dot-Pin Xevious product, Pac-Man Cushions, Transformers Collection Vol. 20, Dead or Alive K-T figures, and the Mai Shiranui 1/8 scale figure from Max Factory have landed at port and should be delivered to us in the next few days once they are cleared through Customs.
