I jumped on the Early Bird preorder at HLJ, 5% off the regular price of 11,760 yen so about $120.32 US per box of 12. I saved $6.45 per box of 12. On the MC, $25.80 roughly. I also noticed at HLJ that Series 10 is listed as discontinued so they filled thier allotment.
I have no idea where NCSX gets their stuff from, just a place I stubbled upon the net looking around but at $125.90 US per 12 I guess that's not too bad next to BBTS for $149.99 UD for 12. Maybe they get them from HLJ.
I really hope this NCSX comes through for you guys, keep those fingers crossed.
