NDS Smile Slime Earphones JPN

Import Preorder: US$25.90

SKU/JAN: 4988601216098
 NDS Smile Slime Bud Earphones - Import Preorder

«©NCSX» A few years ago, the news was thick with stories of thieves targeting commuters and pedestrians by checking out the earphones they were wearing. Thugs were looking for the distinctive white Apple iPod earphones to determine if their potential victim was carrying an expensive bit of slim-line audio kit.
   NCS is certain that iPod theft still occurs in cities across the world since the hardware is small and desirable. A single thief can steal iPods by the dozen without weighing himself down or impairing his mobility. To protect yourself against the criminal fraternity that robs citizens of their iPods, ditch the Apple earphones and grab a pair of Smile Slime Bud Earphones. When a thief spots them, it's likely that he'll conclude that they're toy earphones that are undoubtedly connected to a portable audio player from about 20 years ago. The type that was as big as a tissue box and only played cassette tapes. Said thief will then shuffle along and look for another victim. Preorders are welcome to ship on March 28, 2009.

 SOTD Mushihimesama Princess Reko Figure - Clearance
Original Update: Update: July 21, 2005
«©NCSX» When Mushihimesame was released for the Playstation 2 a few years ago, Taito also shipped a limited edition version of the game which included a Princess Reko figure. She's the heroine of the game and the figure features her as a wee lassie holding aloft her pet Kiniro when it was just a baby beetle. Reko seemingly beams with pride while baby Kiniro appears content just to be somewhere.

   Reko stands upon a grassy patch with two daisies to the left and right of her feet. The diorama measures approximately 5" tall from grass patch to the tip of Kiniro's pointy horn. Miss Reko and Kiniro are packaged in a cardboard backed blister pack which slips into the mint condition Mushihimesama Limited Edition cardboard box.

Sale Offering
   Pricing is set at US$28.90 per Reko figure which includes free USPS Media Mail shipping anywhere in the contiguous USA. Media Mail normally delivers in 5-10 days. For our international customers, we will ship by USPS First Class Airmail which will carry a flat rate of US$13.55.
