Hori Real Arcade Pro EX-SE in the UK?

[Geoff D]

I'm keen to see how the EX-SE order comes through from Arcadeshock too - price/customs/etc wise. I'd love one, it was hugely disappointing to see that sale on Amazon US for them recently that I couldn't take advantage of.

Cheapest shipping option is $65.50 (& express is $78.75), so you're looking at about $200 all in.

I ordered my EX from Arcade shock & that came through with no imperial entanglements (but that was a while ago now).

Well based on the current customs rate of exchange @ $1.5723 to the £ thats looking at about £127 delivered then VAT (assuming it gets stopped) which works out at an additonal £22.22 then the UPS/FEDEX fee you'll be looking at just shy of £180 I reckon all told.

Which is pretty shocking...especially since Giga Death was recently selling a fully custom 360 Bayonetta stick with all Seimitsu parts (even with buttons that lit up) for about £90 in the old sales forum.

Still if it comes through no hassle then the EX-SE is a sexy piece of sexyness

Well mine and Geoff D's sailed through customs without any charges. SMB bought one from Arcadeshock too and I think it was the same for him.

3 for 3 is a pretty positive picture. Fingers crossed for you BR.

I believe mine was $100, with $50 post, + ?25 customs. eBay though.

Eek.

The order came in at $213.74 with express shipping. It is quite gutting that the same stick was a lot cheaper on Amazon US not that long ago, but that's gone now.

I really hope I don't get hit by customs because the damage is high enough already, lol.

I will play with the Seimitsu buttons before thinking of doing a swap.

I reckon you'll love it the expense wont be an issue when it arrives & you start playing about with it...you'll love it

I had to plug the last 2 buttons, can't stand 8 button layouts.

My stick arrived today. Arcade Shock kindly did as I requested putting the value of the stick as $30 and as a 'Gift'. Can't wait to play with it.

So, ~£140 all in. Massively tempting

[speedlolita]

So glad I'm shot of those buttons..

[Blade Runner]

I'm really starting to enjoy the stick now. Initially I went downhill using it, but I am adapting and it's great It's only my second stick purchase and I barely used my old one.

Arcade Shock had an offer of giving 4 Sanwa buttons with the purchase, so I got them with it. I can see how responsive they are, however I am happy with the Seimitsu buttons and I'm not thinking of doing any changes.

As I say, preference!

Been using mine recently, and I'm really beginning to love the LS-32-01.
