VSHG back in stock in Japan

It would be nice but probably not (they didn't really say). I'll find out for sure when they take the $$$.

However, despite how it is advertised, there is no 1 day shipping from HK to the US. With highest level overnight shipping it's gonna be 3 days minimum based on my experience (I've personally shipped stuff from HK to the US and vice versa). If you're lucky you may get 2 days to the west coast. Besides, I thought pay asia's mid level shipping option was $35-$40 while the overnight was quite a bit higher. Then again, I'm probably just not remembering correctly since I did my price checking months ago . From NCS, I chose the cheapest shipping since it gets to me overnight anyway (same way will usually hit the west coast in 2-3). That way is costing me about $8 if the $109 does not include shipping. For me, the extra $2 would be worth the overnight delivery.

I guess either way it's sort of a wash unless you live within a few states of NCS (and even then, you only gain a day). /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

I picked up the VSHG last week (along with VF5 and a PS3) and I absolutely love it. It's really, really heavy, which is great. It obviously feels solid and tough as hell.

The joystick movement area is a little larger than I would prefer, but no big deal.

I'm actually going to go pick another one up this weekend for vs play.

 

from ncsx:

"Hello Salvador, thanks for the reconfirmation; the new total should be $127.36.

Regards,"

$_$

 

When I ordered the HRAP3 with Play-Asia it was basically 1-2 days from the moment it was shipped from HK, so I can believe the 1-4 day Fedex shipping claim.

 

Hmm, they didn't mention the price in mine. Also, why is your shipping so high:

Hello Chris, thanks for the reconfirmation.

Regards,

NCS, Inc

 

It just sounds like "hey play asia is getting "X" amount of dollars for their product plus shipping costs, lets do the same. NCS raised the price of their HRAP3 right after the VGHS got re-called, hmmm I wonder why......

 

when someone gets their VSHG from play-asia plz post!

 

resist, just ask whats the total

 

Yeah, sorry about that Sudden_Death, i posted that before we spoke about it on irc. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

MY VSHG ORDER SHIPPED!!!

I just got my email saying that my VSHG order has shipped out today (9 March 2007)!!! I should get them Monday (12 March 2007).

I have noticed that the Play-Asia has yet to update their page to show that the VSHG is in stock. Hopefully they at least received enough to cover the pre-order list.

 

Re: MY VSHG ORDER SHIPPED!!!

Yep, mine is also shipped, March 9th. Now I can actually get to play the game.

 

Re: MY VSHG ORDER SHIPPED!!!

Good news there! I got the email as well!

Sticks for everyone (hopefully), finally.

 

Re: MY VSHG ORDER SHIPPED!!!

Where did you guys order your sticks from? I orderded mine from Play Asia but received no email. Maybe I am on the back-back-back order list.

Side note: Anybody in the US have a bat top for a Sanwa stick? Name your price.....

 

Re: MY VSHG ORDER SHIPPED!!!

I ordered mine from Play-Asia as well. I paid with PayPal, so they already had my money. I pre-ordered the beginning of January '07.

Checking the site again today, I still notice that the VSHG is still listed as "Back Ordered". They must have only received enough sticks to cover some of the pre-orders.

 

My Play-Asia preorder has shipped as well. It has been paid for since late December, and the delay pissed me off to no end. Glad it's finally coming, though.

 

I would pre-order but they advise against that if your using paypal. Dunno how they'd refund the money if they never restock and I can't accept payments into my account.

I just wanna know how long it will be before they have them available to buy again.

 

I should get mine in today I hope it was worth the wait.

 

Yaaay I got mine shipped
hope it arrives in one piece! payed as much as its price for shipping lol!

 

Yeah got mine ordered today. This sounds like the best stick ever sold at retail. Quality Sanwa stick and buttons and a heavy base too so it's not gonna move around while your attempting moves like with most other sticks. I just need converters for ps2 and 360 now.

It cost £41 and £28 for shipping here, and there might be a customs charge on top of that. It makes a big difference if the stick is sold domestically. Hori are now selling there Fighting Stick 3 here for £32. If only they'd bring out the top grade stuff over here.
