Its the same as the previous hraps being based on the Astro city bezels, now they are going for a more vewlix look, with the help of taito maybe.

I would love to own one of these sticks but it feels a waste of money. I’d rather buy a hss-0130 and mod it with a single panel, itl’l be wider and more kingly. This new Hori is sure gonna be a stick farrari up there with the Hss-0130 and VSHG though, no doubt about that. Though I would really like to see how sturdy it is, the plastic looks a little to say “NOT 300+ dollars worth” maybe im wrong

Wonder if the width of vewlix panels is part of the reason Hori decided against a full length panel (assuming they thought of using one to begin with). Granted only it is under a two inch difference, but coupled with the endcaps that add to the width, it could be a big difference.

203

Anyone based in the UK getting one of these sticks? Just wondered where you plan on buying your from. Or if anyone has any recommendations?

204

This stick is the Ferrari of joysticks. Well, since Hori is a japanese company, maybe it’s just like the Nissan Skyline. :bgrin:

And just like a Ferrari or the Skyline, I can only admire it from a distance. I do like the idea of the easy to access flip top design, though.

205

This stick seems available only from the Japanese Hori store for Japanese residents. I have the money set aside for one, but I’m starting to think I may have to wait awhile for one to slip on ebay or something. Anyone have any info?

206

Some Japanese owners are starting to post theirs.

207

Fix ur pix! :smiley:

208

Play Asia have these down as ‘Out of Print/Stock’. Don’t think they had them to sell. Stick were possibly only available via the Hori Store?

I asked PA and they replied…

Was that the Panel that you got for $150 or something?
The one we both saw on eBay, right?

I remember an eBay link for the Capcom SFIV Panel last year.
It was really cheap.

219

I had won one of those capcom panels. Unfortunately , it came almost bent in half. I had to return it.

220

Yes, you were the one.
I remember you telling me it bent. :sad:
