I'm doing my best to not make this update half-hearted, but not much I can do. I'm so buried ;-;
The stuff people care about first I guess. I have Noirs and budget Vewlixes for sale, for immediate shipment. Also, reflecbeats, project Pop'n Musics, Sound Voltexes, Love Lives, and Nostalgias for rhythm stuff. Finally, may be letting my current pair of Wangan 6 cabs go immediately.
Significant stuff added for incoming: restock of jubeats, starting to import NAMCO Grigios, and a big stack of PRas 3. Grab 'em, some of this I'm picking up now because of requests for them. I think pretty much all types of Vewlixes in some form are coming as well, honestly half of a number of the incoming containers, just loaded up on them. Later containers have more Blancs, another pair of Pokken, plenty of BishiBashi Channel, Densha De GO! HD (Compact), newer model CRT Pop'n, Wani Wani Panic.
As for updates, container prices are dropping and exchange is great, but costs per cab have been going up, balancing things out for now. Delays are still SAVAGE, though; I have one container that is 5 weeks late and hasn't even left Japan yet. I've also had containers show up frighteningly on-time. Trust me, they go out of their way to be a pain in my ass, ruining the best laid plans. There's a high possibility SIX CONTAINERS will show up in November. I'm going to be in Japan that entire month, so yeah, shit sucks.
I'm spending all of October to catch up on backlog and tackle some reverse engineering projects, structuring the warehouse, etc. to prep my partner to handle November. Anyone that has outstanding small requests or whatnot, I'm doing my best to get through that list for you until then.
I DID order more stools and benches to the best of my ability, but it is EXTREMELY limited, as well as getting more expensive. I am keeping requests for this stuff CLOSED. What little I've taken from people already buying cabs or long-time friends has already overtaxed that supply. That and B1/B2 frames, don't expect any orders from me until 2023. I have too much backlog to catch up on from work, if the 6 weeks it has taken me to make this update didn't make clear.
Under a huge amount of financial strain at the moment since a lot of this has been ordered for a long time, or even already paid for and shipped since I had to keep it all moving despite not having time to make an update. Sorry I haven't gotten a substantial update to you guys sooner! It's a bit of a sloppy update, I'll try to tune it over the course of October. Feel free to ask away for things! Especially the stock I have on-hand, looking to move that stuff out. I have to get another offsite storage to handle November's incoming cabs, so anything out really helps. Now's a good time to pick up some of that stuff with no wait, as well as being able to get detailed photos and discussion in with me as to what you are getting!

CHUNITHM - $2,750 - Prices are rising, this is on waitlist now
Dance Rush - $11,000 - High demand, low supply, resulting high price
Initial D: The Arcade - $6,000 - High demand, low supply, resulting high price

TAITO 48cm Stool* $105 - NOT TAKING ORDERS/WAITLIST, INDEFINITE
TAITO Bench** $400 - NOT TAKING ORDERS/WAITLIST, INDEFINITE
* These are recommended in batches of 3-5, there's little to no difference in shipping cost ordering fewer. These can be stacked on a cabinet to save shipping cost.
** I only order these at special request. If you are buying a cabinet, it will only cost around $25 to add it to the freight shipment. Otherwise, I will only personally deliver these on my normal delivery routes (see 7th post) or ship FedEx (got the rates lower, but still around $140). In the case of FedEx, be prepared to lose all insurance claims, they have proven themselves tenaciously against accepting ANY fault.
*** Recommend ordering these in quantities of 6-10. Any less is a very large cost per frame, I have no way to lower this cost to you. I will also pack with delivery routes (see 7th post) and on cabs when possible.
