Naw dude. You know Hori doesn’t market their products or try to increase the scope of their business. They have some whacky, stubborn Japanese attitude that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
Very true my friend! :wgrin:
The white on white is hot! Looks just like the stick that I already own. :tup: So, I might have to go with the orange. Can’t deny that it’s a pretty hot color scheme. Eitherway, I’m sure I’ll be buying another one of these.
OMg my 2 HRAPS came in a massive box this morning at 8am LOL…they’re GORGEOUS!!! even the cardboard box it came in looked nice n sleek!
Once again…they’re GORGEOUS!!
Pics! For us poor ones that have not had theirs arrive yet haha.
Agreed. I voted orange for the HRAP 3, white for the HRAP 1. Ugh, the green…
My stick came in 10 minutes ago! :tup:
I snapped a few pictures from my phone:

Very nice. 
Thank you for the pics.
yes please :wgrin:
my sticks are still in san francisco too :sad:
Was it packed good? No mashed up box?
No pics? No pics, no sticks ^_^.
You didnt have to write anything in the feedback thread :). I had a feedback thread before but dunno where it went…
Hope you will get it soon :).
Hi Per,
It was packed in a big box stuffed with jap newspaper LOL… and then in there were 2 pretty blue boxes all in perfect condition. I wont take pics cos Part2 has taken pics and they all look the same haha… but what a stick 
love the colour. Feel bad about opening and using it…but then will feel bad if i leave it in the box… dilemmas!!!
Yeah, it was the only thread I saw with your name on it so I decided to post in it.
One thing though, the box that mine came in was just a little beat up and it put a minor dent in the actual HRAP2 SA box but I didn’t really mind since I’d be opening it for use anyway. No newspaper or anything like that. All over the brown box it came in, it says “FRAGILE! Handle with care!” so I’m sure that they tried. I don’t see any (cosmetic) damage.
Hopefully, I’ll be testing it out tonight.
What does one have to write for them to take it easy on it? Dinosaur egg?
Also, I have asked Hori if they will make limited edition HRAP with Seimitsu parts and/or if they will make more limited edition sticks :).
Should have an answer on how many sticks of the HRAP2:SA they sold sometime this week.
I just got mine! no dents, no rough handling either. this thing is SMOOTH. Too bad I didn’t have enough time before work to get a few rounds of CvS 2 or Guilty Gear in.
My tracking has not seen activity for 2 days.
Is this normal?
Nice :).
It can be, it will update soon I think.
$79 for that piece of crap? its living up to its name by shafting alot of people. i wonder what it looks like on the inside
80 for 2, 40 for 1.
Christ, i wouldn’t pay 10.
At least they are up front with letting you know what you are getting when you purchase “The Shaft”. Straight forward marketing!
The name sounds a little too homoerotic. I guess the market they’re aiming for is gamers who’re in the closet.
“The Shaft” sounds like it will break easily.
:woot:
