Wanted: Big Bear Shock Box

Here's the deal. I think I found a company that can manufacture shockboxes for me. They are sending me sample in the next day or so, and by the dimensions they look PERFECT. They have PVC spines, the exact dimensions for the Southtown inserts, etc.

I want to compare the sample to an original BB Box, to see if it's of good quality and worth my time to get a lot to pass on through the community.

If you have one, that you can sell or loan me that would be great.

Thanks for checking.

If you're willing to make a haul up to me in RI again, I could let you examine or borrow one of mine if you are just looking to compare quality.

I also believe there are a few sellers here who have games including shocks for sale right now if you are looking for one to turn over to the company for prototyping purposes.

Also, I know this is obvious, but make sure you get the company to confirm buy minimums up front before you commit to anything. Over the past year, multiple people have found sources for shocks, but few have been either able to cope with insane mfg run sizes or the sheer logistical nightmare of finding a place to store 5000 shockboxes.

Thanks Grant, as soon as I get the proto and the shock from Grant I will post up some pictures, etc.

Just wondering if anything more came from this.

Sure did... I got a preOrder going and have almost 800 new shocks spoken for. Thread here: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=205842&goto=newpost
