In my case, I merely asked what was going on with my pre-order via e-mail and the customer service representative "serviced" my order by giving it one-day shipping. However, doing so seems to have pushed me to the back of the order queue, since I no longer have an estimated delivery date.

Anytime I've changed payment info, address, or speed on items that were preordered close to release date I've always been pushed back at least 3-4 days in estimated delivery.

If I need to change any info close to release I usually just cancel the order and go get it from somewhere else. Although in your case you really don't have a choice. Hopefully it gets remedied.

I hope so too. I'm not exactly mad at Amazon that I won't be getting it tomorrow, since I don't have anything on PS4 I'd like to use it with; I'm just infuriated that they gave up my "spot" in the pre-order line and can't correct it. I'm on my third e-mail (second after talking with a chat representative), and if they can't fix it or adequately compensate me, I have Arcade Shock open on another tab waiting for my business.

Just got the dreaded "Approval Required" email from Amazon about the Kai so it looks like they didn't get them after all? Or maybe they only got 2...

Don't doubt that but maybe Amazon didn't get as many as they thought? I ordered mine as soon as it went up on the site

I ordered mine immediately too. I don't think they've gotten them at all yet. Arcade Shock could get them a day or two faster since they're in California and Amazon has warehouses different places. I don't think there's too much cause for concern. I bet we'll have them next week at the latest.

I'm holding out hope too.
I would order from somewhere else, but I used amazon gift cards to buy mine. I 'm ok as long as I get my sticks before MKX.

Amazon stock being what it is and Hori offering free shipping and apparently not charging tax means I just canned my Amazon order and placed an order with Hori. Figure I'll feed the company directly, through no fault of Amazon's.

I also got the delay email from amazon regarding the Kai. The same thing happened earlier this week for the hori duriflexi protector for the new N3DS, so it seems like Hori is just having issues getting their stuff out there.

Ordered a VLX this morning. I am so excited. The wait is going to be painful. Hopefully when it comes out is around when Ultra hits the PS4, I've been waiting for that version to play.

Are those port delays still going on?

I just canceled my kai order from amazon. I am just gonna wait for my te2 till April. Markman I believe said that he will get blue te2 out before mkx for people who pre ordered.

I'm hoping that my USFIV TE2 gets to me by the end of March. Been really wanting to try it out. I remember there was a post awhile ago from MarkMan about TE2 replacement parts like layout panels and also side panels. Any updates on those?

Got an Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 PS3 Hori stick delivered today.

Brand new and ridiculously cheap. Might double dip on a 360 version.

Oh really? If that's the case then I'll cancel my Amazon order.

Edit: ordered through Hori. No tax or shipping. No arrival estimate either, but whatever. As an FYI they do charge when you place the order instead of waiting until it ships.

Thanks for the heads up!

They use UPS Ground, typically. I haven't had any problems. Bought both my fighting edge and some Hayabusas through them.

Thanks. I canceled one from Amazon and went with them. Still have the other from Amazon since I had it covered in credit. We'll see who wins the race.

Why does everyone seem to be freaking out enough to cancel Amazon orders? Do delays like this typically mean major problems?

Good news folks. Sounds like DOA: Last Round for XB1 is now compatible with TE2s with the new patch, according to Madcatz' facebook page.

No, just impatience and/or no tax, really. There's probably not going to be much difference in when people get them.

I don't know. The Madcatz post only says:

But the patch notes don't say anything about stick compatibility at all unless I'm missing something.

Confirmed by yours truly. As soon as I saw the update I plugged the te2 in hoping it would work. Sure enough, it did.

It's not a freak out for me, per se. I want my stick, yes, but after changing my payment method and my order shifting from an expected shipment date to not having one, then Hori selling it through their own site with no tax or shipping costs, $16 and change (and giving Hori my money directly) matters more to me than getting it a day or two sooner through Prime, especially with the way I've had Amazon handle preorders in the past.

Does the rap v4 kai work for PC? I recommend one to my friend, but he only has pc so I dont want to screw him out of 150.
Also if I preorder the TE2 on the mad catz site, will it charge me upfront or when it ships?

It should work on PC just fine. Every Hori stick since the revised design has worked out of the box with PC, particularly the PS3/PS4 sticks. The existing V4 works fine, the Kai is essentially just a slight modification of that.

Anyone good with Fiberglass? I picked up a second cab and the right side shattered when getting it in the door. I did use an epoxy to get it back together. Thinking about using Bondo to see if that will do the trick but if someone has an extra panel or replica id appreciate it.
Click to expand...
Head down to your local marina and ask who does good fiberglass boat repair. The boat guys are the right ones for the job.

If you use bondo body filler I'll just have to head out that way and smack you upside the head. :)

You should look into the Titan One instead of the CronusMAX given the latter is now essentially a knockoff of the former.

Also, apparently there's some bad blood/legal stuff between the Titan One devs and them, but it's kind of a he-said/she-said.
Click to expand...
More like the douchbags at Team Xecuter (of 360 mod chip fame) flat-out pirated the Cronus from its original designer, complete with non-payment, and they "created" the CronusMAX. The original designer has since gone on to release the Titan One.

Aw man, I was in the process of ordering the last PS4 TE2 stick from madcatz, and while I was putting the info in, someone else bought it.

How often do they make new ones? I don't care about what art is on it since you can easily swap it out.

Just got a shipment confirmation/UPS tracking number from Hori for the Kai. Scroll up a bit and you'll see I placed my order with them earlier today.

If time is a factor for anyone this seems like the way to go.

Hm, I wonder what the heck is going on with Amazon then if they're being shipped from other sites. I wish they'd at least let us know what was going on or give us a new estimate so I could decide whether I should order directly from Hori.

For what it's worth, when canceling my Amazon order I noticed the estimated fulfillment was sometime in April. However, I'm sure I placed my order later than most and probably didn't make the cutoff despite being quoted fulfillment at release when I pre-ordered. Perhaps Amazon now knows how many they will initially receive from Hori and are just awaiting reception to their warehouse(s) before notifying their customers when they'll be delivered.

Some of you mentioned that ordering from the Hori site meant no tax, though I'm guessing that must depend on your state since tax definitely shows up for me when I try to checkout. I think I'll just stick with the Amazon order for now.
