NEWS: Last Week's Recap  
   All of the following imports arrived on Thursday of last week and are linked to their online shopping listings below. The GBA Princess Blue game includes a bonus music CD. PS2 Gigantic Drive arrived today.  
 
TOY: Evangelion Swimsuit Figures  JPN  US$6 each  ORDER
   When the EVA girls get into their bathing suits, it's time to sit up and take notice. Rei defines the term "fetching" in her blue and white striped two piece while Asuka glows in her red and white stripes. Hokari grasps her penguin in front of her for what we would assume to be moral support. From the upper left and going clockwise, the girls featured in this Sega Toys set are: Ibuki Maya, Akagi Ritsuko, Hokari Hikari, Asuka Langley, Rei Ayanami, and Katsuragi Misato.

TOY: Love Hina "Attack" Maids  JPN  US$25 each  ORDER
   Sega Toys' latest Love Hina figures feature Naru Narusegawa and Motoko Aoyama in maid outfits. They're both also armed with brooms and seemingly on the attack. We imagine Naru to be striking down a cowering Keitarou for accidentally peeping at her dainties while Motoko strikes the terrified subject from below. Naru measures roughly 12" tall and Motoko rises 8" in her crouching tiger pose. A plastic base underneath each figure provides a platform for display purposes. [Photo Gallery]
 
NEWS: Assorted Updates
   Ikaruga ships this week. A early partial shipment is expected to arrive tomorrow and we'll ship as many orders as we can on Wednesday. NCS expects to follow our shipping schedule as originally stated so that orders will ship over the course of September 5 to the 9th, with the later orders shipping on Monday of next week. A new shipment of Ikaruga will arrive on September 12 to fill any new orders placed after we originally closed preorders. No changes to orders will be accepted at this time. All shipping waybills and other preparations have been made way in advance of this week. 
   It's back to business as usual after last week's website update hiatus. Outside of Ikaruga, NCS expects Asian PS2 consoles and internal HDD kits for this week. After we complete the Ikaruga shipments, we'll prepare for Gamecube Phantasy Star Online which is expected on September 12.
