FS Taito Group Purchase Thread - Round 1 (Egret 2 OEM Stickers/Decals)

For Sale
Got mine yesterday. Looks great. I put the instruction papers in place but everything else will just go in storage.
 
I did speed read it and read oem but saw what looked like repro which was confusing

This would be hilarious and sad at the same time. I am also wondering why you feel so. And @ImportantBet you should be able to prove quite easily this is not the case by sharing the responses from OVS / Junko(Yugo)
 
If it's a repro scam or whatever, Taito must be in in on it because the JP buyer's batch was picked up from Taito's office in person.

I think we can chalk this up to a misunderstanding on mug's part - I don't think he intended to suggest these were fakes or otherwise misleading.
 
Lol..... I was the one who started the initial conversation with Junko, before it was handed off to @ImportantBet.

I have my conversations with him as well as having seen some of the other conversations that have occurred.

These are 100% Taito made and @ImportantBet did a fantastic job of knocking this out for everyone, and I can't thank him enough.

One of the COSMO-LOGI guys, @kevinddr met with Junko in-person to pick up the JP batch. I'm sure he can vouch :)

Also, Yugo doesn't work at Taito anymore. He got transferred to Marvelous!

Nooo Junko/Yugo has been the one responding throughout the years. I'm sad now hehe
 
Junko and Yugo are two different people.

I first contacted Taito in 2016. Back then it was Yugo.

Sometime after the emails were signed Junko / (Yugo).

Now it's just Junko.

Ah, I always got both signs like you showed so I assumed that it was the same person with split personality or something :)
 
Junko has been there forever, I remember having some discussions via email in like... 2009? 2010. Something like that.

Legend thank you man🙌
That’s cool . Will be waiting 🤝
Didn’t see my self getting the egret 2’s powder coated but with these Beauties I think I will.
 
Sorry i wasnt implying it was repro just wondered if it was. Are there any left?

And i know taito will reprint stuff but only if you order enough to make it wort it. I reckon they will reprint pcbs and artwork if there is enough demand. Maybe group order for some prototypes or expensive pcbs???
 
I talked to Junko too! Asking for a few vewlix parts. Yikes on that handling and shipping! Has anyone ever done a vewlix group buy?

I did a Vewlix panel and JVS IO group buy a few years ago. It's a lot of work! I don't envy ImportantBet for this one!

Their Vewlix panel reprints were not as good as the originals. They didn't add the metallic effect like they did with the E2 arts.

I would personally take an @alberto1225 repro over a new Vewlix panel, unless they gave it the same treatment as these E2 arts.

That order was with Yugo though, so maybe Junko is better at listening. The JVS I/Os were fine though. And the Vewlix L panels were new old stock, so those were nice.
