HORI Premium RAP3-SA VLX - Vewlix "Diamond" for PlayStation 3 - July 2012 Amazon.co.jp Exclusive

definatley gotta get this and the edge

So perty.

I’m just glad they’re doing another 22" stick, the RAP Prem VLX’s out there right now are gone or ridiculously expensive.

I wonder if they would ever make clear sides on the VLX like how MC does it with the SCV cases…

B15, I liked your Vewlix Diamond stick much better. I think Hori may have seen the custom you made, and decided to imitate it.

Onto the topic of this stick. Do I want one? Yes. Will I be able to afford one with my current plans? No…

order me one too while you’re at it!

Thanks man, both the vewlix diamond version I built and the vlx cammy were really special to me. Letting them go was damn hard. I don’t like to boost them up but there’s nothing like a solid acrylic case, especially the vlx sized ones. Now if only I can design a way so it hinges open.

The vlx is the only manufactured stick I own and hands down the best. I always wished they would release it again so I can get another one to store away and now this one shows up. Looking forward to getting my hands on one.

do u have the link to the vlx cammy?

I want one, too. I think we’re going to have to do a group buy.

im up for the group buy

markman . youve done a lot for the FGC. if you say no, its no probs your still top man.

but i think your the only man that evry1 can trust with their money, what do you say?

and also i think evry1 should wire transfer the money to you or Paypal GIFT, so that way we wont get no cheap ass ungrateful SOB trying to do any paypal chargebacks.

i dont think the group buyers would mind paying extra 10% so that you can get a free vlx as thank you.

so something like vlx cost + 10% + shipping

Damn, that’s one sexy mofo! :smiley:

Sorry guys, my connect is just a personal friend in Japan. I’m not arranging for sea shipment/container shipment or anything like that. It’s going to cost me around $480 per unit after shipping. lol.

Maybe a company like Arcadeshock,Focusattack,Videogamesnewyork could take pre-order of it for us. I’m sure they would make money. Btw slaycruz gave me the idea. :tup: I will contact Jaleel from Focusattack. Let’s see what he says. :slight_smile: I will have at least one no matter what. I don’t know how but I’m staying positive about it. :slight_smile:

So far it appears to be an Amazon Japan exclusive until Hori makes any more announcements. This seems like it will be very difficult to pick up as it does not appear that importers will be able to carry it.

I’d be down if the price isn’t too insane. Then again E3’s coming up so maybe Hori might announce something there.

dream over :frowning:

wow i want one.

really hope this becomes available for US…

Importers have carried Amazon Japan exclusive SKUs before. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw this on Play-Asia, amiami, CDJapan and the like.

Guys before we get upset lets all calm down.
Asking Markman to field a group buy [S]might be a little[/S] is too much. Markman is getting his though a good friend of his in Japan. Getting 4 sticks is one thing.
Getting 100 and 4 sticks for a group buy is a [S]little[/S] way much even for Markman and his friend. There alot of time and money having to be tied up as well as shipping nightmares trying to do a group buy for arcade sticks. This is not like your doing a group buy on Geek Hack for your $3 Geek hack keyboard keycap. Were talking about $350 sticks. I can’t imagine the custom forms Markman have to deal with. Probability at the amount of stick a group buy will generate, Markman would get stuck with a pretty heavy import tax. Also a Group buy from Japan, that isn’t a few boxes being shipped via UPS or the mail, the only way to do that is getting a crate and having it ship freight which isn’t cheap, as you also have to buy the crate which is like an additional $500 dollars.

Those who really want to get a new white VXL real bad have to go though the usual routines, Importers who sell on Amazon, Play Asia amiami, CDJapan and eBay.
As well as maybe learning Japanese and Hitting up Yahoo Auctions Japan and dealing with overseas bank transfers.
