	Space Invader Magnet Collection. Space Invaders, or "Invader Game" as it's known in Japan, is a true bit of pop culture history, and you can make your own space wars with these cool magnets, portraying the alien invaders, the UFO that flies across the top, and the canon defending the Earth.
	Doki Doki Majo Shinpan Duo. One of the most popular games for the Nintendo DS is the Doki Doki Majo Shinpan (Thump-Thump Witch Judgment, or more accurately, Heart-Pounding Magical Investigation) in which you must discover the secret witches who have snuck into the school. Of course, this involves touching all the girls with the stylus until you touch the right spot on one of the girls to discover if she's the witch. A surprisingly naughty new game for the Nintendo DS!

	Bridget 1/7 Figure ~ Guilty Gear XX. Fantastic figure of Bridget from Guilty Gear, the incredibly effeminate bishounen male character from the game.
