Not sure if any of you get your parts from here, but here is the link:http://www.lizardlick.com/index.shtml

The Sanwa Sticks are a little higher than Ponyboy over at arcadecontrols.com, but I noticed this seller carries Sanwa Joystick Shaft Covers and Sanwa Octagonal Gates. And the buttons are priced about the same. I ordered some misc parts a couple of days ago, and he gave me a partial refund, becasue he put some Sanwa stuff on sale today.

I placed a small order to see if this seller was legit, and so far it seems that he is.

I received a response from lizard lick amnusements over the weekend. He also mentioned if I had any special inquiries to let him know. I am guessing he was refering to Sanwa Parts. Since thats what I ordered.

I received my parts yesterday from Lizrd Lick. I was dissapointed with the 30mm Sanwa hole plugs. They weren't Sanwa, they were cheap 3rd party plugs. I have legit Sanwa plugs on my cab CP, and they are a hard sturdy plastic. The ones from Lizrd Lick are soft and cheap. I am assuming the buttons are legit, I can't imagine he advertises Sanwa and sends something else. Button plugs are a little easier to get away with. I thought I would mention it, incase any members order plugs from there.

I sent an email to Lizard Lick Amusements and he apologized for the mix up. He told me his distributor advertises them as Sanwa, so he is going to correct the description on his website, so he doesn't mislead people.

Overall shipping was fast, and the dude who runs this website is really cool and answered all of my emails.

Lizard Lick Is Great. I use them. I made the mistake of ordering from Himura Games in March. They can kiss my ass. Never sent anything to me and never responded to my e-mails. Lizard lick is a little more money, but at least you actually get the product.

Hey Guys,

Sorry about those hole plugs... I guess I should've know when they came in without "Sanwa" stamped on them that something was fishy, but I've never ordered them before, so I didn't know. I spoke with my supplier, who swore up and down that they were Sanwa, but they finally gave in and are looking into it. In the meantime, we still have them, but they are being sold as "generic". We also have some Yenox plugs which are actually much heavier and cheaper, but they are the long style with the nut.

Thanks to everyone that has given us a try, and let me know if there's anything else you think we should have on the site...

I looked into stocking them, but I can't get a good price... I'd have to sell them for like 250, which seems a tad steep to me... We're still looking though...

Welcome aboard! :) Always nice to have a reliable Sanwa supplier around. I'm sure I'll be ordering from you in the future.

Hey Guys,

Another update, and now I need some feedback from the group here... I've got a bead on a supplier for Seimitsu parts, and I'm going to place some kind of order this weekend. They have pretty much the same stuff as Sanwa, maybe a little better color selection. What I'm looking for from you all is what would you want to see us stock the most? I can always add items later, but for the initial order, I just want to go with the most popular items. Include color choices also, if applicable... Ok, let me have it...

They have a new one that's a black case & gray plunger, should be easy to swap out the plunger if you need a different color. I believe it's the one used on the Virtua Stick High Grade for PS3.

Yup, Kickin' is right, I just got the latest catalog today, and they have them in there. I'm working on getting them as we speak... Seimitsu has a few models with the black body/colored plunger, which could make for a bunch of SKU's to carry, that's why I'm looking to see what is going to be most popular before I go too crazy ordering this stuff...

Thanks for the feedback,

I just want to add that Lizard is the man!, my order came in a while back (super fast shipping), nonetheless everything was in excellent shape, and the products speak for themselves.

I'm going to jump on those sanwa black grey, and the seimitsu black rimmed buttons, also if you are reading this LL, would you get different colors for the Sanwa JPFL shafts?

Electric,

Glad to see you got your order ok, and that you're happy with it. We aim to please (you aim too please, hehe)...

I don't see that part number in the Sanwa catalog... can you be more specific for me?

And I just have to say, it's nice to see there are still Maiden fans out there... I saw them live quite a few times back in the day. I'll never forget Maiden opening for Judas Priest at the New Haven colosium, way back in the 80's... Number of the Beast/Screaming For Vengance tour. My ears are still ringing, hehe...

Up the Irons!
