From what i understand, Play Asia is located in Hong Kong, so they don't have the same restrictions as Japan Post concerning Lithium-batteries.....and I wanted the NLP 3DS Deluxe

i noticed this time around they only offer the "console+game+AR/CLEAR FILE+character pin" sets for 23,980Y.. and now that they've updated the listing, as FanTon said it's clear that only these packages will be the ones shipped as late as March, yeah there is a strict policy for lithium batteries in Japan, I've won mine through 'From-Japan', they didn't mention anything about this though, I hope they won't charge me an arm and a leg for it, T___T if so i will probably ask them to remove the battery if possible (i hope they will) and then buy one from a local store here (you should ask your deputy that denied you, if they'd do that) (i will probably have to also buy a 3DS Europe charger anyway as in JP they have a different system) it seems not all lithium batteries are restricted from shipping but sometimes the couriers / or plane security are being too strict: industrial.panasonic.com/www-data/pdf/AAA4000/AAA4000PE14.pdfthere is a 3DS case here: 3dsforums.com/questions-answers-40/japan-3ds-help-32866/also another case where they rejected the person's EMS parcel at the airport cause of the 3DS battery but then he got it successfully shipped via registered mail where there is less checking of the package's context at the airport,

Thanks for the advice! Waiting for my deputy to reply to see if they'd perform this service. I also sent them this article to show how easy it is: www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/gaming/231000057I don't think doing this is against Japan Post rules, since the lithium battery is the only culprit of the ban, but if Japan Post gets picky....I hope not...

I remembered 'From-Japan' also offers the "SAL (via Boat/1-3 months)" option that is a lot slower than "SAL (via plane/1-2 months)" option but atleast the battery won't cause any security or hazardous problems, but i'm hoping to have mine shipped via EMS or registered airmail so if they do tell me about the battery i'll send the link you provided for them to take it out, thanx!^___^

BTW, it has been confirmed that DSi and DSi XL AC adapters/chargers will work with the 3DS, this is convenient if you own a previous machine as the one arriving with your Japanese console might not agree with your region's voltage,...unfortunately my DS Lite adapter won't probably work,lol..

In the end, I decided against the Deluxe package. My deputy said they could take out the battery for a service charge, but I would rather not have them tamper and possibly damage the NLP 3DS...plus I'm not sure how compatible the different batteries, voltage/region stuff, charging...urg, I just gave up. I really wanted a pristine, mint, intact package to arrive. But yeah, I'm giving up. Decided to just preorder NLP by itself, and stare longingly at the sealed game on my shelf

Kandori you can order a 3DS console and the game from play-Asia(they have 'Misty pink' too,lol) or CD Japan or another non-Japanese e-shop since they won't have any such restrictions, or you can wait after the Deluxe release as i'm sure a lot more of these will pop around and for a much affordable price than the ones on e-bay right now,

February 13, from 19:00 Konami is rumored to begin accepting orders for the set of Deluxe packages that were canceled after the lotteries took place,

Until then, my NLP game box will be on a display with my LP figmas, beckoning...
