I heard you can buy stools from Taito directly? Can someone link me the information?

I heard you have to buy minimum of 5.

Thanks.
 
You can order Taito stools directly by e-mailing Junko or Yugo from Taito Corporation at "OVS@taito.co.jp"

Minimum order is 5 pieces of each size, and here at the two applicable sizes (and their stock number) available:
490139510 TT STOOL T50(43CM) BLACK LEATHER @JPY5500/pcs 5pcs/CTN JPY27500/CTN *Lead time 30days
490652810 TT STOOL T50(48CM) BLACK LEATHER @JPY5500/pcs 5pcs/CTN JPY27500/CTN *Lead time 30days

The 43cm ones are designed in height for Candy Cabs and the 48cm ones are for the Vewlix.

You can also ask them for any other Taito parts, and you never know your luck on what they may have stashed or found in their warehouse!
 
It works out a lot cheaper if you’re not in Japan to contact @rancor and get in on his quarterly shipments. Taito’s direct postage overseas is extremely expensive.
If you're getting all 5 stools it's really not that different, I've done it. Main advantage of rancor's buys is you can get smaller quantities.

Taito have changed the method they post their big boxes out of Japan over the past 18 months, for example here are their rates to Australia (we're relatively close). One carton = 5 Stools.

2ctns JPY119000 ($1088 USD)
3ctns JPY170000 ($1555 USD)
4ctns JPY223700 ($2046 USD)

That's just for the shipping, not the actual stools... so yeah, in 2019 @rancor is still cheaper by a long shot than doing it direct.
 
Oof okay, that sucks. I got mine early 2017 I think. The final cost was a little over $100 a stool all said and told as I recall.
 
Yeah. I contacted them in October 2017 and they actually apologized for the price.

I believe they used to use regular post or DHL however that service changed the guidelines to the physical size limit of packages before shit hit the fan for postage rates.

I was contemplating trying to get some Taito stools but that shipping... does the CEO personally hand deliver them :D
 
My order from July 2018 to the USA. Shipping had no options other than something fast and expensive, fedex or ups or something. They did at least arrive very very quickly. And they are absolutely perfect for a vewlix (48cm) and a blast (43cm).

490139510 TT STOOL T50(43CM) BLACK LEATHER@JPY5500/pcs 5pcs/CTN JPY27500/CTN

481008010 TT STOOL T50(48CM) BLACK LEATHER@JPY5500/pcs 5pcs/CTN JPY27500/CTN

Shipping: JPY57000 for 43cm
Shipping: JPY60000 for 48cm.

Total: 172,000.
 
Rancor deal is the best for new. Went ahead and contacted him. Thanks @SabreAZ!
 
@ekorz your price was 2,000 yen cheaper to the USA for 2 boxes than what I was quoted. So I'm assuming it's roughly the same around the world.

So I guess if people want stools quickly: order direct from Taito. For a better price and smaller quantities/mix and matching heights, order from @rancor
