Lik-sang

The other day I was reading The Official Nintendo Magazine, and found out that the big N had released a special edition Gameboy Micro celebrating Mario's 20th birthday. The machine was designed to look like a Famicom (Or NES, or even Rakan if you're arab :p).

As I'd given both my old GBA's (the standard and SP) to my nephews, I thought I might as well get one of these. Problem was that I couldn't find them in the UK. So, off to good old
www.lik-sang.com, my favourite import shop. There, I ordered the Micro and also a copy of "Boku no Watashi no Katamari Damacy" for PSP (don't ask).
The order was placed just after midnight on Friday 6th of Jan. Monday morning (9th) and at 8:30 the DHL man knocks on the door with the package, straight from HK, and with NO TAX! Great service eh?


Thing is, it didn't stop there. Not only did I get the GBA micro and the game, but I also got a whole bunch of very Japanese goodies:

A Gameboy capsule toy: you get these from vending machines in Japan, and are basically teeny weeny models of classic consoles. Mine was the original gameboy, complete with a cartridge and a connection hub!
A Lik-Sang Badge Holder, A Lik-Sang Mouse Pad




A Katamari Prince shaped PSP case: this I was really happy to get, cos these are uber-rare, and only came with pre-ordered games. For some reason, I got one :)





I know most these things are silly, but you should've seen the look on my face when I was discovering goody after goody between the pyrofoam filler! So, here's a big thanks to lik-sang, and again to the Big N, for making my life happier...
And here's some pics from the back of the micro, and the little capsule gameboy thingie :)
