I love that guy. He always has what I want, has it at a good price, and is awesome to deal with. I just ordered parts to restore a candy cab I have and some stools. Those stools he has a freakin' cheap and perfect for candy cabs. Here's a pic of them:

Anyway, I just got my stuff and as usual he sent me a bunch or free candy. What wasn't usual however, was that he also sent me a TON of other free stuff. In addition to what I ordered, he sent me loose candy, 2 candy bars, a huge case of Ramen, an Initial D Manga comic book, a espresso soda, another free stool (awesome!), and and two awesome ball tops (one clear, and one clear-purple). I have never seen transparent ball tops, and I think they are pretty cool! Has anyone else seen those? I can post pictures if anyone wants to see them.

Anyway, Rod is awesome, and I highly recommend his store (himuragames.com)

I got some free sweets too, I do wonder if this guy makes a profit or he's rich & does it to pass the time.

Rod is great!

Just got a parcel from him, I only ordered 2 sanwa Octagonal restrictor gates, and there was a large box of Pocky, various candies/cookies a can of coffee, fridge magnets and stickers.

I certainly will be getting some more stuff from him soon, Great seller!!

I got me 2 of those clear ball tops. Apparently they are made by Seimitsu too. They rock.

I just ordered from him again and he sent a bunch of candy and a bunch of trasparent buttons for free as well. I love this guy. Here is a pic of the trasparent ball tops:

yeah, Same here. I ordered 2 sticks & 12 buttons from him. Got a free clear pink ball top, some candy & stickers.

The clear ball top is visualy nice but has a strange feeling to the top I dont like. Yet still great free gift to leave on my work desk since i'm an arcade freak!!

That stool looks like the IKEA Forby.... best $5 I ever spent. They are ideal for candy gaming. Incredibly inexpensive yet suits the need perfectly and can even hold up a fat ass like mine.

That's because it is an IKEA Forby! There isn't an IKEA where I live and they won't ship to me either, so Rod really helped me out! Fantastic stools! My sister made some awesome cushions for mine so my butt doesn't fall asleep anymore!

He's behind on all of his shipments.

He says he's putting goodies into everyone's shipments.

I wonder what I'm going to get. :mr_t:

I got another shipment the other day. He gave me a free sanwa stick and 5 clear buttons, plus the usual candy! Oh, he also gave me a $38 dollar discount on the order. I may have to marry Rod.

I've dealt many times with Rod. He's slow on shipping (Sometimes), depending
how bad he's behind, but he makes it up with the
Japanese candy.

Has anyone heard from Rod lately?
I have about 2.5 weeks since I put my order in, and only 1 reply.

I put my first order in using the PayPal system, and haven't heard a thing. I'm sure it's because of the thanksgiving holiday. I placed my order Friday the 18th.

I was going to place an order for some sanwa stuff, but I guess I should wait. If anyone hears from him I would appreciate it if you could post here.

I think it's time to find a new retailer, even if it's in Japan.
If he doesn't have the parts in stock, he shouldn't have his customers
on a (Pretty much) 'Wait List' of 2-4 weeks.
