Dear Customers,

Well, it's been formally announced so can now open pre-orders for the next Masterpiece Transformer, MP07 Thundercracker. The pre-order link is below:

PRE-ORDER: MP07 Masterpiece Thundercracker

MP07 Thundercracker is slated for release in November, and is expected to sell out right away so it's probably a good idea to pre-order :)

Sale 6/20 - 6/22: Double Punch Weekend!

Dear customers,

The sun's out, so I think it's time for another sale. Let's fill out those punch cards you all have been holding on to.

SALE: Double Punch Weekend!

Details: From Friday June 20th through Sunday June 22nd, for every $10 you spend at Kicks you will receive TWO punches on your Kicks Frequent Buyer Card. That means that it will only take half the time to fill up those punch cards. Awesome!

(Please Note: This deal cannot be combined with other deals. Does not apply to pre-orders. Punch cards that are filled during the sale weekend cannot be redeemed until after the sale is over.)

For online customers: Since online orders don't use the frequent buyer card, closest we can do is give a $10 gift coupon for every $100 you spend during the weekend.

Hey everybody!

If you haven't heard, there's an Anime Convention going on in Seattle this weekend called Sakura-Con. If you've never been to an Anime con before, I highly recommend you go at least once. It's an interesting experience. to say the least.

Plus we'll be there the whole weekend. Which also means we'll be closed, since we are bringing all of our stuff to sell at the convention. Just to make it official, I think I'm going to bust out some bold text here:

Important Announcement:

We will be open again on Tuesday, April 1st.

So yeah, if you happen to be down at Sakura-con, be sure to swing by and say hi.

For online orders:
Any orders made after 8pm PST Wednesday March 26th will be processed on Tuesday, April 1st. If you are planning on ordering something from our website, please be aware that since our inventories are being allocated for the convention, there is a possibility that we might be sold out of that product by the time we process your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
