Madcatz EVO Fightstick 2012

NguyenLm · July 18, 2012, 1:13am

Yeah I wasnt going to order it but then saw the code on it and that pushed me over the edge. 170$ is a lot for a stick that only works on one platform IMO. It that price I can order the rarest wood in the world and make one. But the free bag toss in (that I planned on using with my Amboyna Burl Ibuki Stick) is what made it a value you me.

So in terms of seeing a bundle option no. I never saw that. Cruised that site for a good day before ordering too and never saw it. I was on the arcade stick page and the top 2 entries were the 2 evo sticks. Then the SC stick then the MLG one. Even on the second page there was no bundle option. Even the link markman posted for the “bundle” option just brings up the 2 sticks http://store.gameshark.com/listCategoriesAndProducts.asp?idCategory=456. These are the same sku number as the stick i ordered.

But on my invoice it does say EVOSTICK - Free Arcade FightStick Carrier (value $49.99) with EVO 2012 TE Stick Pre-order

My SKU is different.
Current gamesharkstore listing for ps3 is “EVO88381NSA1” looking at my order history I show “EVO8838BNDL”

“EVOSTICK - Free Arcade FightStick Carrier (value $49.99) with EVO 2012 TE Stick Pre-order” is listed in a section for coupon codes.

You probably ordered the wrong item but still applied the code…

251/300 x360 version. Box is flimsier compared to R1/R2 sticks; I noticed that with the VS stick as well. Just the collector in me nitpicking. Free case will come in handy. Can’t wait to light this thing up with AE3s!

My box was a little concaved on the top side ( ie, not flat) kind of like it had a heavy object on it.
I found the reflective EVO emblems a nice touch though.

Got mine today too, box was in decent shape, used to receiving much better from madcatz especially on a limited run. got #216/300.

piskooooo · July 18, 2012, 6:07am

Wow lol

Jamin3131 · July 18, 2012, 6:37am

maybe they made more… that or you got a prototype…

jdm714 · July 18, 2012, 6:39am

You were not supposed to receive those units initially.
MCZ stock cannot be sold.
Laugh.

protomanSTi · July 18, 2012, 6:40am

now you can put MCZ in your name at tourneys.

jdm714 · July 18, 2012, 6:47am

Here is the story.

Mad Catz decided to sell the MCZ units because EVO didn’t get any shipment.
You are one of the cool twenty-some MCZ EVO Sticks out in the wild at the moment.

kimo_kata · July 18, 2012, 7:10am

Well… cool then. Now I’m not as pissed lol. I thought I got some generic reprint. Or extra one made to ease the pain of fans lol.

jdm714 · July 18, 2012, 7:14am

The MCZ units are not reprints or extras made after serialed six hundred.
Don’t worry.
Laugh.

masturfader · July 18, 2012, 7:53am

Ooh. I want mine to say mcz! James, what number did you get?

MarkMan · July 18, 2012, 9:01am

The MCZ ones are super rare. I wish we had these at EVO

But since we didn’t we put an extra 20 or so into the wild. Enjoy!

bonebreak2000 · July 18, 2012, 6:13pm

Yeah your number on your order is different from mine. Well Nathan never called me back yesterday. I’ll give it another day and then call back I suppose…

NguyenLm · July 18, 2012, 7:37pm

Well if you ordered the 360 the first couple of numbers will be different, but if it doesnt end in “BNDL” then theres not a whole lot anyone can do for you.
I guess you could always return it.

bonebreak2000 · July 18, 2012, 8:12pm

Yeah thats what it will end up being if they dont want to honor it.

FreezerB · July 18, 2012, 8:21pm

I feels ya brah.

Please tell me you’re going to do the LED mod we talked about at T12.
