Sankyo - Star Wars - Battle of Darth Vader
After picking up my first machine here in the UK a few weeks ago I have been reading through the forums and trying to find something for sale here in the UK that was a little newer than the Pretty Band machine (which is actually awesome!).
I found myself trawling Yahoo Japan and came across a Star Wars Battle of Darth Vader for just 7000 Yen, which is under £40 here in the UK. I was very sceptical, but decided to give it a punt and placed the bid via fromjapan.co.jp Total shipped total was 48,850 yen and that included 1000 balls from another seller and priority delivery with FedEx. Although the total was a little above my "risk it" budget I was happy enough.
It arrived this morning! I was very nervous opening the box, I half expected it to be a box of bricks. But no, there it was in all it's glory! Double boxed, not very well internally packaged but it has survived without damage.
Unbelievable value! The machine is pretty amazing and worth every penny.
It has come without a key, but they seem cheap and easy to find (I think). The key from my Pretty Band works fine in it.
Just thought I'd share my experience. fromjapan.co.jp were pretty good I have to say. The only criticism would be the lack of paperwork on the outside of the box, caused a 2 day delay with customs here in the UK.
Cheers
Cris
