Tokens in the UK?

[Andy HNK]

Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy tokens in the UK? I've tried 777 Heaven but I'm not getting anywhere and importing from the USA seems a little expensive (I'm a pauper at the moment) but it looks like my only option at the moment.. Any ideas?

PS Tis 'Talk like a Pirate Day' today me hearties! Avast ye swabs!!

There's Pieces of eight to be 'ad on ebay uk - skytvspecials (777heaven), to be sure.

What about buying them from some importer/distributor in Benelux countries? Shipping costs should not be so bad.

Thanks guys, I'm having trouble getting in touch with SkyTVSpecials, have already ordered and payed for some but they just never arrived with the machine.. Oh well, will keep on trying to find out what happened - am also bidding for some on Ebay, I really hope I win it as this back and forth thing with the hopper is getting quite tiresome! In a few weeks I'll have some extra cash so even ordering from the US will be no problem then, until then it has to be the UK really..

Supersaiyan - I had to look up what 'Benelux' meant! I feel quite ashamed as I actually used to live in Holland! Oops!

Haha! There's something like five active importers in that area. I guess the largest harbors in Europe are the reason why so many(??). Maybe someone there is willing to sell tokens. You can ask Dragonfly amusements also. He is here with nick Dragonfly if I remember correctly.

Phew! I got some extras in the end off an ebay auction.. The dabloons are flowing! Don't know what happened with Steve but will keep on pestering him, next time I get a machine maybe I'll get them? It's such a relief to be able to play away without refilling every BB round - Hokuto No Ken can be a real beast for payouts, no wonder it was so popular!

Going to get another Pachi in a week or two.. I like my video game based machines but am also open to a Spin Luck style game.. Does anybody have any recommendations based on whats about now or may be in the next few months? Thanks!

Glad to hear you have managed to source some more Tokens,

Steve does have a container shipment of Pachis on its way, not sure if it will be November before they get here though

He may have some titles you would be interested in??

Here's the Thread, just in case you missed it...

Thankyou Hanabi, you are a star! I must say I'm patiently awaiting this new batch, I'm hoping Hokuto No Ken 2 will be in there (I prefer the first one, am playing number 2 on the PS2 but want it for completions sake).. Either that or some SNK based one, a Metal Slug or King of the Fighters..

I'm playing 'Aladdin' on my PSP (good for the kids I'd imagine) thats pretty cool and also, is it 'Yoshume'? I don't quite remember the name but its the pachi with that little Samurai guy sitting there wafting his fan next to old dude, it has the shutters just like Osu Bancho (same company) - its an AWESOME, fun little game, I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on on of those I can tell you!

We had a recent post from a member here in the UK with a Metal Slug for sale,

he was even including 500 tokens...

Eeek!! Oh I wish I had seen that straight away! Oh well, I have let the chap know I am interested, I'm skint for a week or two but could give him a deposit to make him feel better (!). Yeah, thats just what I was after and with the volume control (perfect for me in my tiny bedsit) AND the 500 tokens! Well thanks for letting me know about it whatever happens!

If that doesn't come through, in the short term I'm looking to invest in one of these Japanese Pachislot controllers for the Playstation 2 - I'm quite into these video game versions, obviously not as good as the real thing but they are a little kinder on the pocket and space is also a major issue for me - I have room for one MAYBE two more.. That said it is very hard to find, only one place on the net has one for sale at its £55!
