I am in Maryland.

Rockville, MD 20852

Sorry if this seems so annoying to keep asking questions, I just want to know exactly how much $$ i will be paying for a box if I get one

Also, any ETA on when your next batch will ship out?

System_1 · April 7, 2009, 9:59pm

factor in gas prices, food, and your time before you drive. Might be cheaper to wait for the shipping.

arr4ws · April 7, 2009, 10:01pm

Well roadtrip is fun and meeting people too. If you have time go pick it up!

dancing_destroyer · April 7, 2009, 10:33pm

Damn you, Joe.

Also, my box arrived - I’m so excited I may have to leave work early and flex my hours for the rest of the week.

purbeast, I’m in Gaithersburg, and I paid ~$86 USD all told.

Also, If you ship items between US and canada and slap a fake RMA # on the outside, you are able to skip tarrifs

wussmonster · April 8, 2009, 12:38am

cases look really nice joe . saw that support of snap in buttons only works with a little modding (saw your link on the 1st page), however. Still need a couple screw ins to hold down the top. will future production be compatible with snap ins completely? thx for taking the time to answer questions.

System_1 · April 8, 2009, 12:41am

ok, so im tempted to purchase one off of you, but if i were commit to buying one by this friday, would it be ready to be picked up between 24th-29th of April?

i ask this cause i will be in Toronto between those dates for Flash in the Can conference

EDIT:
Also i would be also planning to buy a stick, buttons, and PCB and assembling it together
basically how much would it cost for you to build me a stick and how long it would take?

nuropa · April 8, 2009, 12:41am

you can always drill 4 holes and screw down the plexiglass, not sure how you would handle the back 3 buttons though.

arr4ws · April 8, 2009, 1:08am

I bought a Cthulhu PCB from toodle : 51$ shipped
I bought all my parts (8x30mm sanwa buton , 3x24mm sanwa button from , ls32-01) Akihabarashop: 63$ shipped

With this blank box near 80$ you can add and see its near 200$

System_1 · April 8, 2009, 1:20am

This is true. Can always stop in Mississauga at the titty bars. Private Eyes comes to mind…

gns · April 8, 2009, 1:33am

I think that is in Canadian $ so it would be about 170USD not counting labour.

System_1 · April 8, 2009, 1:36am

I personally don’t like pop ins because then you need something to hold the plexi down

maybe if i find a way to do it without screws for that clean look I will

nuropa · April 8, 2009, 1:57am

it’s US$. cthulhu assembled is $40 + 11 shipping. the custom stick is going to cost me close to $300 cad. blank box, cthulhu board, buttons, stick, paint, clear coat, screws and nuts, rubber feet, quick disconnects, 10 ft usb cable, sandpaper.

gns · April 8, 2009, 2:15am

Thank god I never added the cost together first before getting into this hobby … otherwise I would never started.

dancing_destroyer · April 8, 2009, 2:17am

Joe, this is truly a work of art. Thanks so much once again! hugs his box

System_1 · April 8, 2009, 2:58am

told you not to fight the urge

now you can spread the word (or not, and keep buying them for yourselves)

-joe

System_1 · April 8, 2009, 3:00am

seriously considering getting one of these

catchafire · April 8, 2009, 3:14am

True, but it’s a very short term hobby if you ask me… After this, i’m done… (at least for a whole year or so…)
