Company: Hori
Version: JPN
We've locked down a healthy amount of these amazon.co.jp exclusives. The HRAP3 was released last year around october and sold out quickly within a few months. For these sticks, we had to pay a small premium to grab because our vendors had to spend more labor sourcing from amazon.co.jp as well as other distribution channels (increases price). Pre-orders are welcome at $199.99 and are expected to ship mid June, if demand is too overwhelming, we'll air over a few batches.

As I was up doing p90x last night, I received a message from Japan stating that they had secured a small amount of these sticks and will be shipping some out tomorrow, with bleach 6 psp. Suggested retail price in Japan is 10,000JPY, but to get these, we had to pay much higher because of the scarcity of the item. After air shipping and dimensional weight, we adjusted the price to $299.99. Backorders are expected to ship thursday, and walk-ins to our retail store are welcome to pick one up.
