My first direct Pachinko import!
Well, I went and did it... I just ordered a Goku Midnight Eye Pachinko from Japan. I have never attempted this since I have always been able to find what i wanted here in the states. If everything works out I will bring in Marvel Heroes, and The Mummy next.

Which method of shipping did you choose? That machine is insane!
This game induces a kind of hypnosis, a strange feeling of happiness. Winning is hardly important. But, time passes. You lose touch with yourself for a while, and merge with a machine and perhaps you forget, what you always wanted to forget.....
Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
I cannot believe that. You my friend, are now the coolest person I know. And by 'know' I mean don't know.
And that is the most insane machine I've ever seen.
Big congrats.
Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
It should be coming by EMS post. I'm not sure how long it will take to get here, but I figure a couple of weeks. My last package from Kiai took about 5 or 6 days but it was light compared to this.
Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
wow EMS eh? I bet that cost more than the machine itself lol

That is correct... it's not cheap!
Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
If it brings you enjoyment that in my book is money well spent & is all that is important.That is correct... it's not cheap!

Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
Well... most of the machines I imported were $700 - $800
I suspect it was in that range.
And Chrish is most certainly correct... if it makes you happy, the money is not that important (did I just say that?)

Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
Well, not completely sure yet... The machine cost is between $300.00 and $400.00 depending on what Kiai can talk the store in to taking for it. The shipping is about $450.00 I have paid Kiai for the cost of the machine, and will pay the shipping once the machine is ready to go. You could easily buy a years worth of Raman soup with the money I'm investing.So... (looks at his feet)
how much
That is for a bare machine; no transformer, volume controls, stand, key, CR ROM, or cleaning. So you can figure once I get the machine, it will cost me about another $75.00 to get everything I need to make it work. Then the time I will invest in cleaning the machine, which is hard to calculate in cost, but I expect to spend about 2 to 3 hours cleaning it to my standards. Glad I picked up the Pica Cell Cleaner from Arby; that should make it a little easier
I will take pictures and video once I get it all up and running.I may even take some pictures or video of the cleaning , and setup process if anyone is interested.
Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
I doubt you will have a lot of cleaning to do. Kiai only buys from high quality shops, and don't lose ONE WINK of sleep, because no one can destroy a Kiai-packed PachinkoWell, not completely sure yet...

Re: My first direct Pachinko import!
Glad to know that... This is my first machine through Kiai. I have purchased other thinks through Kiai, and they were packaged very well, so I kind of expected the same of the machines.I doubt you will have a lot of cleaning to do. Kiai only buys from high quality shops, and don't lose ONE WINK of sleep, because no one can destroy a Kiai-packed Pachinko
I'm just glad it's coming through EMS/USPS, and not UPS. I think UPS would open the box, hit it with a sledgehammer, and then re box it.
Agreed!

Don`t you have to pay TAX in your country when your machine has arrived ? maybe you didn`t thought about it ? , in my country you also have to pay TAX not only for the mahine but also on the shippingcost
