Lan-Kwei updated their page with some news the other day. Apparently they're getting rid of all old stock to lighten the load during the move. They've got some really good deals on loose NGPC carts along with a few other things--Cool Cool Toon (DC) for $11 anyone? wink

I don't trust Lan-Kwei further than I could throw them, I'm on my second email and still I've received no response from them. You can see the long Lan-Kwei order drama here:

I followed that thread as it unfolded and thought maybe they were having troubles due to the moving thing. I've dealt with them in the past and didn't have a problem, but maybe they've got their act together. Who knows?

Worth finding out for a US Last Blade for $4. I'm not in the market for the stuff right now though, so someone else will have to be the guinee (sp?) pig. :p

Yeah, I've tried them before and I got nothing. Anyone have better results with the NGPC games?

People tried ordering before and it turned up nothing as I recall, because I wasn't the only individual who tried to contact them and the same results: unanswered e-mail, and this was more than a month ago. Some people had ordered stuff from Lik-Sang and they had to threaten the company with lawsuits to get their shipment, it was that bad.

Well, the reason they weren't answering e-mails was because they weren't taking orders during their transition. They announced that on their news page on Feb. 13th (<a href="http://www.lan-kwei.com/newsE/" target="_blank">link</a>).

I'm willing to bet they'll respond to the e-mail at the bottom of the page I linked in my original post. If anyone does order, let everyone know what happens. :)

It is kind of a gamble, but for those prices, I think I'm willing to take it.

There's a subtle difference. The US versions came with the ESRB rating, the UK ones don't. I tried placing my order with Lan-Kwei through the webform address on the bottom and I've gotten no answers, I've sent a second one and still none. The phone number on their website I've called as well, I assume it's their old one and no one is answering. Still, gonna keep trying...

Lan Kwei is under new management. I filed a complaint against them a few months ago with paypal, and last week their new owners emailed me and wanted to straighten out all of Lan-Kwei's old problems. I think it would be safe to order from them now.

I certainly hope so. I've sent them 3 emails and one of them had better produce some kind of result.

Lik-Sang is better with the orders. And, they actually answer emails! How about that. But, it's true I ordered a while back and got nothing out of my order, at least I got a refund.

How'd you know Lan-Kwei was merging with Lik-Sang?

Not going to get me all excited about this... fucking Lan Kwei can shove it. I don't care if they have Fun Fun Bros. for MVS, I won't be sending any money to them (OK, maybe if they had Fun Fun Brothers... damn it, I am so conflicted)...

Nah... That's a bit of misinformation by lik-sang: lankwei.com will take you to the lik-sang site, but lan-kwei.com is the actual site...

It all goes back to some bad blood when Lan-Kwei started up - it's all a bit Triad wink

Cheers

Anybody managed to get a response from Lan-Kwei with reference to this latest sale ?
I emailed them two days ago to the email address quoted, but I'm still waiting to hear from them frown
