Today at approximately 1 p.m. PST, we're expecting a shipment from our Japanese vendors. A larger post will be uploaded later today with a few items worth checking out. Among some of the items are the new taiko pillow cushions from CafeReo, the real arcade pro 3 sa from Hori, and a restock on many pokemon center pokedoll plush dolls.
The shipment took longer than usual, as ocean freight consolidates two times a week, and takes approximately fourteen days to float across the pacific ocean. Customs clearance, inspections, and other processes slightly delay the shipment, but nonetheless a smooth shipment. Stay tuned.

Restock Update - Wii Fit - Out of Stock But on Order
Restock Date: 3/16/09
Nintendo has always been known to create world-famous first party games and accessories. The Wii fit is no exception. During the first two years of its release, the world saw a drought of wii fits, skyrocketing the price well above retail for most small mom and pop stores.
Large national chains still sold at $89.99, but many fit-hoarders held and held, only to list on ebay and other auction sites for a nice price gouge. Unfortunately, and I say unfortunately, with consumer confidence at an all time low rivaling that of the 30s, the wii fit has finally allowed all vendors nationwide to sell at $89.99. Our christmas batch has sold out at its old price and we are dropping the price down to $89.99, finally.

Pre-Order Update - Godfather II 2 PS3 - 4/7/09
Release Date - 4/7/09
Receiving Date - 4/7/09
Price - $54.99 (US Version)
-from publisher-
Be a true Don as you coordinate all the action using a 3D world map: survey your turf, place defenses on businesses, analyze crime patterns, identify new illicit rackets, and choose the target of your next attack. As the Don of a family, there are a ton of strategic choices to make in The Godfather 2. Just one example are Monopolies. Monopolies are groupings of rackets that "run" the same criminal activity. Controlling, and defending a monopoly comes with both a monetary bonus and game perk benefits making them key to owning the map, gaining wealth and amassing power. Monopolies can be local to one city or span across the cities. Larger monopolies made up of many targets, spanning multiple cities are obviously more difficult but offer greater rewards. Other in-game rackets include: Fronts - extortable legitimate businesses of the game that provide payouts as well as money laundering opportunities; and Small, Medium and Large Rackets - venues containing an illegal criminal activity and usually disguised as legitimate businesses. These three require various degrees of muscle to defend and keep under your control.
