We’ve received a lot of inquiries on the VLX Diamond that is listed on Amazon JP. This is a deal between Amazon JP and Hori JP and is sold exclusively through Amazon JP only. If you want this, we suggest you buy from them direct as this will NOT be imported over here to the states. We have confirmed this with HORI. The stick is certainly sick and we will be ordering a few for ourselves (direct through Amazon JP).

Since picking in Qanba sticks late last year, we’ve had a hard time keeping these sticks in stock. All variations have seen sell outs thanks to Qanba’s Multisystem capability along with their overall balance of performance, parts and design…and of course, all you guys for supporting us and Qanba.
Of course, we understand, sticks, like shoes, people want choices and selection. Two months ago, we unveiled the “SE” series for those who prefer Seimitsu parts. These have been selling well, especially for those who love shooters as well as fighters. To balance things out, we are working with Qanba (it’s in production as we speak) to unveil some “SA” Series sticks, which uses a variety of pro Sanwa parts at the same time bringing out a new look with some sick variations. We will be releasing images and taking pre-orders on these sticks sometime this week, so check us out.
Qanba SA Series Preview and Pre-Order:
We already released the SE versions of the Qanba Sticks as well as the Limited Blue Crystal, now we’re releasing the SA Series which uses all Clear Sanwa parts, from the buttons to the balltop and shaft cover for those who love Sanwa parts. Gotta try to please everyone here one step at a time. Check out the tricked out new sticks from Qanba. ****

Can someone tell me what kind of joystick is in this thing? One of the blue bullet points says it has a P360 and then further down on the page one of the black bullet points says it has a HAPP comp.

For winning the 2nd ArcadeShock Facebook contest. Expect more in the future, and be sure to like us on facebook.
I’ll find out for you.
Anyone have any idea how long it takes to get something once it’s ordered? I ordered a stick on May 26th and the order notification e-mail said USPS Priority shipping 3 days.
Dude I don’t know what’s up with Arcade Shock…
They need to hurry up and stop playing with my money. I shoulda canceled my entire order than deal with arcade shock.
1.) I live like 30 minutes away from them and it takes a WHOLE WEEK for me to get my order.
2.) They charged me 30+ dollars to ship when they advertise as $18 flat rate for Fedex
3.) They said they were gonna refund me when my order shipped…NO REFUND YET (Its been a week)
4.) They keep saying “we will process your refund tomorrow” (they said that 3 separate times already)
Really??? It takes a week to deliver an order (that they have in stock) only a few miles away??? And now they aren’t trying to refund my money???
(refund was supposed to be the difference to $18 shipping, 10% promo code, and plexiglass I canceled)

You understood that since you ordered over the weekend, and Monday was a holiday, it took 4 days to get your order. In all fairness, those who paid for Express Mail get their items shipped priority over those shipped ground, which is what you eventually paid for. We sent your a refund ( our fault for being a few days behind as we had more orders where the customer did not enter in the promo code, so there were quite a few transactions we had to rectify).

You already knew why this was the case and we gladly refunded you the difference. If you order only the stick, we have a special rate with FEDEX, once anything else is added to the order, we can no longer offer that rate. Because you later changed your mind and canceled the plexi, we discounted the shipping for you and it’s reflected in your refund.
As you already know, it doesn’t matter if you are a few miles away or hundreds of miles away. The orders are shipped via Priority depending on the shipping method and with Ground it does indicate 5 days, so we are well within the given time frame. We indicate in our FAQ that we ship within 48 hours. You ordered on a Friday and being shipped Ground, there is not delivery on Sat/Sun/Monday (was holiday).
And don’t forget that we covered the tax for you, which is an additional $13.00 that you saved. All things considered, you waited a few days and saved a ton of money.
If you are nearby and want to pick up locally next time, we are cool with that.
OH NOES YOU ORDERED SOMETHING OFF THE INTERNET AND IT TOOK A WEEK TO GET THERE.
LOL. It doesn’t matter how or what method you ship. If you order something from somewhere less than an hour travel time away it gets there the next day.
I didn’t care if they shipped it horseback or walked it over…it still took a week.
I know about weekends and holidays, but they said they were going to ship it first thing Tuesday, which they didn’t.
Everything is all settled now. Trust me, I tried to navigate your website and there was no pick up option. I would definitely have gone that route if the option was there…
The METHOD of shipping the customer pays for absolutely matters. It is not necessarily shipping time, but the processing time. We process EXPRESS mail before any other mail, which is most of our international customers choose. This is a practice for every business (if you buy from Amazon, this is clearly stated) as you get both priority service and shipping time because you know what? You paid for it.
You got rock bottom dollar on the items, the stick you ordered DID NOT qualify for the 10% off, but as a courtesy, we gave it to you anyway. We paid your tax, so on a $150.00 stick, you saved about $30.00 and waited 1 extra day.
So if time is what you care about most, you can either pay for Express Mail or come and pick it up.
How good are Mas Sticks for games like mvc 3 and tekken?
If you grew up playing in arcades on American cabinets it’s like taking a stroll down memory lane. If you’re younger and/or only got into fighting games around the time Street Fighter 4 came out and you’re accustomed to playing on TE sticks or Hori sticks with Sanwa parts it’s a pretty different feel. The buttons on a MAS are straight horizontal and not ergonomically laid out. The HAPP and/or IL sticks have a much stiffer spring than the Sanwa JLF series and require a little more effort to move around. MAS was the tournament standard for years before MadCatz made the TE stick.
Thanks for the quick reply. I am very used to the TE stick but I always feel myself longing for a stick similar to what I was used to growing up and when I saw that arcadeshock actually have some stick in stock it made me wonder should I switch over which I probably will now.
Got my PS2 stick FedEx yesterday. Thanks for the free poster guys. Was digging through the packing peanuts and got a surprise. It’s a huge poster.
