    MarkMan is probably right, Poofta. the good news is if you put the TE stick on Ebay, you're looking at something like 200 percent profit. The bad news is, there's a long wait for arcade parts right now. Street Fighter IV blew up in a big way.

    If you want to build your own, one of the best places on the web for parts is Lizard Lick Amusements. They're closed to new orders until later this month, but their service is great.

    If you want to just buy a custom stick, check out Arcade In A Box, Norris Arcade, or Electric Trouble. Just be aware that the wait times are starting to get into the two or three month territory.

    Yup. Google Katryns Kustoms, Electric Trouble, and Norris Arcade Sticks. Or, if you're looking for something quick, check out the tech talk forum on SRK.

    Be aware though that you might be better off just buying a hori stick and gutting it, cost-wise: a nice custom case can set you back between sixty and one hundred bucks, or even more depending on what you want.

    Prepare for a three month wait. Seriously.

    It's worth it, but they're hundreds of orders behind right now. Street Fighter IV Arcade Stick Apocalypse.

    The custom stick guys are usually operating out of their basements, with employees ranging from none to three or four. It takes time to make a nice custom stick. Add in the fact that it's a side business for a lot of them and there you go.

    As for Madcatz failing to meet demand for the SFIV sticks, it's not like they're an enormous company with limitless resources. They probably just budgeted for the number they could produce and re-budgeted(and began to make more) when they saw the demand.

    Big, expensive joystick... guess more people than they thought were willing to fork for the cost on it!
