NCS Preorder Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The Shina Dark manga by Bunjuro Nakayama and Yukari Higa started serialization in 2006 but it hasn't made the jump to animation yet.

Japanese producer COSPA has announced reservations for a 1/6 scale Princess Galett Fey figure which measures 21cm or 8.26" tall. A sword accessory is included along with a base. Preorders are welcome to ship in November 2009 at JPY8858 or US$98.90.

 TOYS Sentou Kyokan Allean Real Red Ver. - Import Preorder
NCS Preorder Synopsis
 «©NCSX» Allean is a golden-haired lassie who hails from the Queens Blade books and she's apparently a combat instructor of some stripe. We could make a lewd joke about Allean handling weapons but NCS is above that. This preorder synopsis will be by the book.
   Allean's upcoming figure from Griffon is set to 1/7 scale and measures 25cm or 9.84" tall. Allean's "Real Red" version decks her out in all red garments and her blonde hair has turned into the color of bubblegum. Allean's clothing may be doffed to reveal her bosom. Preorders are welcome to ship in September 2009.

PS3 BlazBlue Regular Ed. USA

New Release: US$59.90

JAN Code: 893610001204
 PS3 BlazBlue Regular Edition - Expected Later Today
NCS Product Synopsis
 «©NCSX» <Toggle on old codger voice> The young'uns of today got it good. They don't know how good they got it. Back when we was kids, we had to walk 10 miles to school, eat hamburgers on plain Wonder Bread, rewind video tapes, and play Street Fighter II on a 16-bit Super Famicom. That was the Dark Ages when Japanese import games cost $160. Each.
 
   Yep, the kids of today got it good. So good that they get to play arcade perfect conversions like BlazBlue for the measly fee of $60. The BlazBlue Taito Type X2 arcade kit was tempting when it dropped to US$2000 but $60? That's like manna from heaven. Don't even get me started on the home conversion perfection that is Death Smiles. <Toggle off codger>

   NCS originally stocked the first print limited edition of BlazBlue earlier this month but the regular edition (sans bonuses) has shipped from the publisher and is expected later this afternoon. New orders are welcome.

Original Release in Japan: March 15, 1996
«©NCSX» New and factory sealed copy of Linkle Liver Story for the Japanese Sega Saturn which was published by Sega about 13 years ago.
