Madcatz SF4 Fightstick Tournament Edition

[Katashi]

Hey all. I've been meaning to buy this stick for the longest time but something else's always come up. Now I'm finally ready to buy one for myself and I hope you guys can help me out, seeing as how many of you have the stick. I have a few questions which I hope you can address:

For those of you living in Pakistan, where did you buy the stick from? I only know of Amazon and Play-Asia to be the most reliable places to get one from. Problem is, Amazon does not ship electronics to Pakistan and the stick is out of stock on Play-Asia. So, if you guys can suggest any alternatives, would be great.

How much does it end up costing you WITH shipping etc.? Is using regular shipping reliable or should I pay extra for priority shipping? Would be useful if you guys told me what you did.

How long does it take for the stick to get delivered? Do you have to do any sort of follow-ups with customs or the like or is it delivered to your house without any hiccupts?

So yeah, if you guys can point me in the right direction I should be getting mine asap.

Oh yeah, bear in mind I'll be using a Pakistani credit card.

Contact amaga through the market section bro he can guide u better in this respect , as for which stick to buy that depends wats the purpose of u buying one.

an image or a link to which arcade stick u want would be make it more clear

Well, as mentioned in the thread title, the Madcatz SF4 Tournament Edition stick.

It has different versions yeah but at the core it's still the same stick so any one of the 4 variations will do.

I was actually kinda hoping people who already have the stick could tell me where they got it from, how much they ended up spending and what was the whole process of getting it shipped to Pakistan like.Any and every detail will be helpful.

 

[sephi22]

I live in the UAE and got it in Dubai, so anything I contribute won't be much help for you.
Amirparvez has ordered a TE himself. As he points out, you should contact Amaga.
So, what are you waiting for?

 

[Bad Mofo]

Well, I got mine through a relative. I bought it an the US Amazon and he brought it back to Pakistan. You'd save on freight (which is a lot since the whole fightstick, when packed, is around 4 kgs) and duties and stuff. If you know someone who'se coming back from abroad, then it's a fairly good option.

If not, Amaga is your man.

The TE is probably the best stick you can get. So go for it.

 

[Roark]

Yup the TE is the best factory made stick ... most users mod thier sticks themselves to improve them but as far as i know TE has everything fitted by factory, i.e. sanwa buttons and stick.

I myself bought a Hori Real Arcade Ex Pro 3, and modded that with sanwa parts. My sister was coming back from canada, i had it delivered to her and she bought it back to Pakistan for me.
