    pity :( as we were never going to have one closer to home ,still interested in a noir (hd or full hd) if you are bringing stuff in , at least my room got a clean up from the exercise and a kickstart to finish restoring the one I neglected !

    Candy prices have being rising for a while now in japan and dino kings I don't think were ever viable from Japan as they seem come in about 3-400 eur before internal shipping ,which considering sega uk offloaded most of the ones in the uk for 100-150 at the time puts it into perspective.

    Cheapest candys that I've seen over the last while seem to be net citys ,new net city.

    also am amazed there was little interest in the gbalance , the french seem to really like them and tateable with jamma and jvs

    It's a large undertaking and not easy to pull off, unfortunately. Maybe things will clear up with taxes and all that after Christmas.

    Yeah I'm fairly sure it'll happen at some stage just when is the question. Have been involved with sharing containers and have brought in plenty of stuff from the US and Japan but doing a dedicated one here sounded like a plan especially now with the UK leaving and hopefully more interest here down the line. I can get some stuff from China and probably will shortly but they don't usually have many Candys just Vewlix's mostly and are brand new, and newer drivers like Initial D, Mario kart that wouldn't interest many.

    Jap prices are difficult, I don't want to list games that'll rip people off (if the prices I'm getting are expensive) so still the UK and Europe will be best bet for some stuff, but should be able to get a good lot of games for cheaper still. They also offered classic games from the 80s and 90s but again, would probably be half the price here after import. New Net Citys do seem to be the cheapest cabs usually, as for Dinos yeah prices have gone mad there. New Net Citys can be got for around 4-500 on buyee, but adding in fees, handling fees, shipping, import tax, insurance, and potential for other hidden fees it'll be close to probably between 800-1000 landed here.

    There will also be some new stock in a few months hopefully too, there's a few good rhythm games I wanted to bring in like Sound Voltex and a few others not in stock yet.
