    Default This is just plain sick.

    "Okay", I told myself almost two weeks ago. "You have a vintage, an early modern, and a late modern". You have a nice round collection. Enjoy what you have.

    Then I saw the 2010 Space Cruiser Yamato live action movie on You Tube and one thing led to another...Bam...A Space Battleship Yamato CR in stock at http://www.akimono.com.

    Hmmm... Not much to go by... More web searching and I found this link.

    CR Yamato Pachinko Game | CosmoDNA

    Holy crap that's cool. Especially the Shock cannons that fire and the wave motion gun closing in and shooting you in the face...

    Now I'm getting an invoice for a CR Yamato from Frank at akimono.com and I feel like my collection may just grow to four.

    I need help guys...really.

    Of course if I were serious about getting help, I wouldn't be asking a "den of thieves" how to be a law abiding citizen now would I ???

    I've heard good things about akimono.com. Anyone here have any experiences with Frank...good or bad before I take the plunge?

    I've gotten two machines from Frank. Both transactions when smooth. I would recommend buying a machine from him to everyone. The machines are double boxed and packed very well. No problems at all.
    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    Welcome to the madness my friend. You are among good company, and you won't ever be alone again.

    Bwahahahahaha...

    No really it's cool. The new modern pachinkos are designed by very smart psychologists who know how to make them ridiculously alluring. Flashy lights, Sounds in the key of "C", and memorable characters from pop culture? It's the perfect storm. I would be surprised if you DIDN'T get drawn to them.

    Congrats you're human!
    YAY!!!

    Welcome to the Pachiholic club

    That looks like a seriously cool machine and although I have yet to order from Frank (I am sure it is only a matter of time) I have heard nothing but great things about him and his service.

    Heh - I figured you would bite on the better Fuji Yamato (IMHO) pachinko game once you saw them side by side with the Sankyo. It is a ton of fun and there is plenty of cool stuff to enjoy.

    I've worked with a few of the pachinko dealers and Frank is the best! He's the only one that returned my phone calls when I was having problems!
