I have the connection in Japan sorted 100%. But if there’s not enough interest on these forums, any extra people wanting cabs (especially on the East Coast) would be appreciated bro.

All the cabs will come to the Brisbane port, then duties and all that jazz taken care of.
Locally around Brisbane/Gold Coast, I'm sure that @OsirusANZ can deliver for a reasonable fee.
I will have to start looking into affordable and reliable interstate and rural road shipping. The people have delivered me cabs/monitors before have been horrible. Does anyone here have any hookups or recommendations on people they've dealt with before who are careful and understand what "FRAGILE" means.
Would you perhaps be able to source a number / email for em?

I'd be keen on a NNC with a Toshiba PF if I can afford the price (especially need to take into account that I'd have to get mine shipped from Brisbane to Sydney)
Shipping wise, I've used Hytech twice now - one to pick up an astro from Melbourne and another to deliver my Naomi clone from Highway entertainment (same state, but about a 150kms' from my location). I believe they also do Sydney to Brisbane nowadays.
These guys have also been recommended quite a bit on Aussie Arcade Bill and his BIG ASS VAN for pinball delivery - which we all know is far more fragile than a candy cab.

I haven't used them personally, but I've seen Mark recommended for arcade movements

The guys I deal with know their monitors and hardware well. Will note that down on the spreadsheet now for you and see what turns up 
Thanks for the shipping recommendations too guys, much appreciated. They all look like good options.
I'll be trying to get for myself:
Vewlix F or Diamond
Egret II
and possibly a NNC or Aero City
Then I will move along some of the cabs I currently have, or just open an arcade and finally be done with it

Didn't think these were as "available" as the others... the Egrets seem to be very hot property
Definitely not “available” at all. I have actually been waiting now for 8 months for one to show up. But in time it will.
Did that also with my first container too. But skipped the middle man and ordered them myself. The dude also let me put anything I bought in Japan along with the cabs. Will be taking advantage of that this time around with bulkier items.
Mate I’m interested, will DM you for further info
Japanese Neo Geo Mini cabs are really hard to find, it does show up on lists from time-to-time but rarely, plus the part are hard to come by. I could recommend any of the SEGA cabinets as they're well documented / parts realively easy to find in Japan. I'm partial to the Astro City series myself. Blast Cities are great, then you have NUC and NNC cabs. What kind of games did you want to play in the cabinet?

Cheers for the tips Sheep,
Just keen on something easy to work with that I could change/swap out games without too much fuss. Was thinking the Neo cabs would be good in this sense
I'll do a bit of reading on the cabs you mentioned
Sent them an email and was told “no stock”
