    Most of us in the UK have got it or had it at some point
    You can try ebay but be more realistic with the price than the one mentioned above. The more balls you have the better as well. I sold the second star wars version (advent vader with the light saber and vader mask that covers the screen) about 2 years ago for £350 But to my knowledge there are only 2 in the UK. This earlier one with the R2D2 is probably the most common machine in the UK.

    oh and

    Welcome Aboard

    To be honest iv'e got bored with it as i never seem to get ant features come up on it,are their any settings in the back that control the features?

    100% agree with this point. Going by the conversations I've had with the guys that were bringing containers into the UK back in 2005-6 about 1 in 10 machines imported were this model of Star Wars. The first few that made it onto eBay got bid up to around £700-800, a few more around the £400 mark, but most sold for around £200-250.

    I think that all the ones originally imported into the UK are the ones with ridiculously poor odds, and you hardly ever see anything come up on them and then get half a dozen back-to-back fever rounds before another long dry spell. There's not much you can do about this short of hacking the random number generator circuitry (or the program code running on the secure microcontroller chip). If you can obtain the control board from one of the versions with the better odds, then it should be a straight swap, but the 'better' odds versions are still quite sparse on the features compared to more recent pachinko machines.

    I've owned Pachislo machines in the past, but never a Pachinko. I'd be very interested in a Star Wars machine if there is one going. PM me if you want to discuss.

    I think this eBay seller must be from another planet with that price !!!

    Cheers

    I think most are the ZF version with 1:496.6 odds
    My Densha de Go!2 has had a hack done on the back with a switch fitted for normal play or high probability. (don't ask me how!!!!) The problem is in High Probability it fevers after about every 10 spins.

    You can buy the latest one in Japan and ship it a lot cheaper than that one. It it looks awesome.

    I haven't tried to, because I doubt I could get a resale in the Uk and still make a little profit. Now if I can get one and ship it at a silly price, I will.


    I don't have any of the other star wars up for sale, But I should have a Urusei Yatsura 3 and a Sea Story in the Med for sale soon. If you like Japan's AV, I might sale the Nao Oikawa, But I'm still waiting to get a refund from HMRC over the mess Fedex did of importing that one.
