TOYS Pikmin 2 Plush Toys JPN

New Import: $13.90 to 23.90/each
 TOYS Pikmin 2 Plushies - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Nintendo released Pikmin 2 on the Gamecube over 4 years ago but the amount of time that's elapsed doesn't matter. The lovable Pikmin, Chappi, and Captain Olimar (don't forget his buddy Louie) still live in the hearts of fans the world over. How does NCS know this? Because we still get inquiries for Pikmin products every day. Every. Day. Sanei probably gets 100x the inquiries that we do and maybe that's why they've re-released the Pikmin 2 plushes.

   Please note that there's a total of 8 different Pikmin plushes on offer as follows as shown in the first product photo (from the left to the right and curling upwards):

» Yellow Pikmin ($13.90)
 » Red Pikmin ($13.90)
 » Purple Pikmin ($13.90)
 » Blue Pikmin ($13.90)
 » White Pikmin ($13.90)
 » Chappi ($23.90)
 » Louie ($15.90)
 » Captain Olimar ($15.90)

   Pricing for the Pikmin plushes vary as listed above. All preorders will ship today and new orders are welcome. Due to the simpler way our alternate shop handles variable pricing, we are linking to that shop for this product.

Jan Code: 4960677120080
 NDS Nostalgeo no Kaze + Bonus - New Import, In Stock

«©NCSX» Towards the end of an alternate reality version of the 19th century,, dirigibles and zeppelin-like airships are the preferred forms of air transportation. In that world, a lad named Edward leads a group of youthful adventurers on a world spanning quest aboard a great flying vessel named the "Maverick." Edward's father was an adventurer who disappeared while on a rescue mission. Players may view the circumstances of his disappearance in the game's cinematic introduction.
    Nostalgeo no Kaze is played like other RPGs where players explore the game world, interact with fellow characters, and battle in a stylized 3D arena where attacks are chosen from a menu. Co-producers Keisuke Kikuchi and Ai Ito team up with director Naoki Morita to create an RPG with high production values and bells/whistles.

PSP Gallery Fake JPN

Clearance: US$25.90/each

JAN Code: 4543112341747
 SOTD Gallery Fake for Japanese PSP - Clearance
Original Update: December 29, 2005
 «©NCSX» Reiji Fujita once worked at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as an administrative director but because of dastardly circumstances, he was fired. Since his termination, Reiji has started his own gallery in a pedestrian part of town. Known as Gallery Fake, the squat building sits in an industrial district near a pier in Tokyo and is named appropriately for the reproductions of masterpieces that Reiji purveys.
   The business would be entirely humdrum were it not for the curator of Takada Museum's accusations against Gallery Fake. Sayako Mitamura asserts that Reiji deals in the resale of stolen paintings and uses Gallery Fake as a clever cover-up to hide illicit transactions. Assisting Reiji at the gallery is Ms Sara Halifa who learns about the art world under Reiji's tutelage and auspicious umbrella.

Sale Offering
   NCS' remaining inventory of Gallery Fake for the Japanese Playstation Portable is new, factory sealed, and in excellent condition. Pricing is set at US$25.90 per copy which includes "free" shipping by USPS Media Mail within the U.S.
