Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

I think our economy will tank and everyone else around the world will buy cheap PCBs from the UK.

Out of morbid curiosity, what did the last couple of Big Fighter kits sell for?

I can't remember, but I'm sure there are plenty of arses which we can pull figures from.

It might be the same

Have you noticed the amount of relisted auctions recently? even with winning bids.

I still have some stools leftover if you're interested. No one above that "missed" the sale and wanted stools has replied back to me...

Damn Can't believe I didn't miss this!

Big Fighter NOS kit from 1989:

Is this worth a lot? Pretty crazy you can find 30-year-old NOS arcade kits today.

That's the third NOS Big Fighter I've seen on yahoo in 2 years.

I am confused by that last comment there. What do you mean?

He'll clean it for an another €500. I suspect he's had a few PMs asking for a dusty discount.

Yeah, that's different though. Haha.
Edit: Or the same.... hmmm....

I know what you meant just saying that there are exceptions (very few and not on this occasion).

is there any benefit to hopping on this for say- 17 units? Thanks! Hey G, This would certainly benefit the folks in North America, if you set up a group buy. It would be much cheaper for you guys that way. Going through me will just add extra costs. I'll let you know when Taito have started product...

Korea (and some countries in South America) had laws and large tariffs imposed on to companies that import electronic goods. So what they do is get the main PCBS and custom chips from Japan and assemble them in Korea, along with korean branded components and chips. That's why you see a ton of korea...

I'm curious where you boys would display this?

It's only going to be "limited" if it sells poorly. I'm sure the devs want to sell as many kits as possible.

Hello mate, I am sure you are already aware but (Namco Valkyrie No Densetsu) is a tough one to find, I've been looking for years as, has another forum member and there was/is one on ebay for several thousand pounds/euros. It is literally the only one I have ever seen for sale. This was never releas...

I guess you need an internet connection for EXA like nesica No? Hard to compare with Cave kits.

It's offline as far as I'm aware, but has potential update functionality. Shou can confirm.

Does any of this matter? A few years back most of us would import CAVE kits directly from Japan on release. In some ways this is much easier now, especially with members like rancor acting as middle man.

Added JPN Area 88 PCB to the wants list.

I'm guessing that all of these kits wil be reprinted once they sell out.

I assume by "limited" you mean on initial release?

Also well done for making this new Hardware and wrangling so many developers I imagine this wasn't an easy venture.

We're did you get you're arcade stool from? As well would those be correct for a neo geo candy cab? What is the name brand of you're stools? I been trying to find a pair. Thanks RJ rancor is selling these now. https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=40469 You want the 43cm one for your c...
