Taito Egret II Mini

[geotrig]

That Canary flash 16 seconds in

Anyone know what that was about ? I presumed just the rotate mech

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

Folded and made an amazon.jp account. Got the base set and the spinner/ trackball controller. Just before committing to my order, I found out amazon.jp adapted that absolutely retared practice of charging you import sales tax like it's any of their business whether I pay it or not. That's a cool 40 Eurobucks out of nowhere...
Still bought it, of course.

Amazon need to make sure we pay our taxes, so they dont have to

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

Huh? I assumed it's because they've gotten tired of having packages sent back to them because customers were incapable of picking them up from the customs office in time... anyway, **** them.

[SuperPang]

It's much easier this way. They usually ship by DHL. Takes about 3 days.

I buy stuff from the US via eBay & have to pay the duty at checkout but it's better facing a nasty surprise 2 weeks later

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

The German customs office close to my home will just pass along every second package. For the last big shipment of SNES games from Japan (worth about 100 bucks?) I didn't have to pay any import tax...

Is that a curved screen? What?
I am not too keen on what im seeing on the video quality though. Merhgh..

[nem]

It's just a curved plastic cover on top of the LCD. It's not going to be a real curved screen.

There hasn't actually been any video of how the mini screen actually looks, has there? The video on the previous page shows a black screen.

[cools]

1:1 on 4:3... Uh oh.

I love it

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

Me too. I haven't had this vibe since I was 11, my telfth birthday was coming up and I knew I'd get the newly released SNES...

[FrancoB]

Now that is awesome

If I wasn't sold before I certainly am now

[ratson]

Ok I'm pre ordering this now. Need!

[saturnshadow]

I've tried to preorder the bundle with spinner controller:

¥27,248 for Taito Egret + spinner controller
¥21,379 for Shipping
¥10,698 for Import fees deposit

Total amount ¥59,325 = about 460 EURO

too much! Pass for now

Try ordering them separately, which is what I did. That way, they'll ask less than 50 bucks for shipping.

Super-late to the party...but that tate mech is beyond cool

[cools]

I've just cancelled my original full-pack pre-order and ordered another.

There are two on Amazon jp. One is cheaper than the other. The only difference I can find is in the title.


The pricier full-pack title finishes with 付 (attached). The other with 無 (nothing).

Can't find any more information. Apparently there's a Famitsu DX edition that comes with pins and a pin display stand...
