Wanted: Hori Real Arcade Pro Special Edition
It's a long shot, but maybe someone can source one ......

I am looking for the arcade stick in the title. I've searched all over, and apparently they were only released in Japan in limited quantities. I want the blue one as shown here to use with my shooters:

Anyone that has a source to one of these, prob. in Japan, let me know if you can get it and how much. Much appreciated. I hear it's prob. the best non custom stick ever released, because of the genuine Seimitsu parts.

Just in case you can't find the blue one there is a green one on Ebay:

EDIT: Nevermind, that's not the special edition, sorry.

The usual import shops carried them too. They might have some left. If not, Shoryuken Hardware Forums is a good place to look. Evem of you can't get a Real Arcade Pro, for only a bit more money, you can get a custom made one w/ the exact same (Sanwa) parts.
