loki4101 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I'm helping a friend build his first MAME cab and after trying a few joysticks and buttons of mine he decided that the liked the HAPP competition joysticks and the competition PB convex buttons so that's all well and good, he places the order and its Going to be $66.70 plus $91.31 for shipping (discounted from $166) After he told me this and asked if that was right I tried to log into my HAPP account to check and it turns out that it no longer exists. So the point of this post is does anyone know where in OZ or NZ I can get some New Happ Joysticks and possibly some of the convex buttons, I checked the sponsors section and saw that austinamusements.com.au and gamedude.com.au both have the joysticks (not the buttons) but no option for shipping to NZ.

loki4101 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 Have you tried Aliexpress or Paradise arcade Shop ? Aliexpress HAPP style joysticks are crap. Hadn't heard of Paradise arcade Shop, jut had a look and it was looking hopeful till they wanted $153 for shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttersoft Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 This is what i keep going on about! Paradise Arcade have a better range than anyone out there, they even make a few of their own bits. When they were based in Hawaii i could email them and get cheap shipping with USPS and they were really nice. Then they relocated the business and all their stock to Pennsylvania or something a few years ago, stopped answering their emails, and jacked the shipping so high it now looks like a bad joke. I don't understand what happened; I'd dearly love to be able to buy from them again. Focus Attack are second best, with second highest shipping. And they do answer emails, they just don't give a shit. If anyone wants to look at a group buy, count me in. Problem is, the more you order the more these places charge to ship, so it might not make sense even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limorange Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Would a postage forwarding company help like Shopmate or Shipito? Depends on their shipping cost within the US I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hey Errol, I'm not trying to change your mate's mind but I have the Sanwa JLF and JLW joysticks. Also the Sanwa convex buttons. He could try the 'feel' here if the Sanwa parts if he's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i think their shipping inside the US is quite reasonable. Might be worth a look, cheers. Apologies for thread hijack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3tro381 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Sorry to bring an old thread back from the dead, however, if you are after a Happ style joystick, the IL Eurosticks are much better quality than original Happs and significantly better than the knock off happs. They use Nylon (better material) rather than cheaper plastic in a few places. About the same price as Happs, available in a wide range of colours.

loki4101 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Happ are just re branded IL Eurostick, or at least they where back when I got my last set, but the shipping out of Europe was to much. I ended up getting a pair from oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGiTaLJaM Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Wait till you can’t throw fireballs or upper arts with the happ sticks there not very good for beatem ups either as they feel like 4 way sticks the IL euro stick is the best out there by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
