Raider pro's still available?

[menace]

I want to include one in my (proposed) new 1Up/frostillicus cab but haven't seen them in best buy recently--are they still around even?  Anyone see one in their local store?

[crsdawg]

here's an ebay search for them, there's a bunch on there. probably be cheaper than retail as well.

You can have my old Raider Pro handles if you want to pay for shipping (should be about $3.20 for priority mail)  Still have glowire in them too (if you have a driver...)

If menace doesn't take you up on it, I'd like them.  Is that okay with you?

Well let's at least give him the rest of the day to claim them...

Seriously    That's awesome I would very much appreciate that--I only need the one so somebody else could enjoy this fortune    You are too cool man!  I will PM you with the details and you can give me your paypal address.

I found mine at a local MediaPlay.  However they were closing them out and I got the last two.    Good luck finding them.

I have 2 Blue ones and 2 Black ones.

Best buy has stopped carrying them and marked them out for clearence...that's when I got mine. all 4 for 20 bucks.

After I get my tron handles, I'll be selling mine in the Buy/Sell section...

Menace, Sasquatch, check your PM's.

I have 2 of them.  One black one which I've had for years lying around and one blue I got on Ebay for $3.

Pros: It's symmetrical, so it is good for a dual stick setup, it's translucent (for a pseudo Tron-like look) and it's cheap (or was cheap, they're not made anymore)

Cons: not exactly arcade authentic, no longer in production, some have comlpained about the "rubbery" feel of the grips.

All in all, a decent cheap solution for a DIY trigger stick hack.  BTW, we aren't really using the stick as is, the handles are usually hacked to mount on Happ joysticks or the like.

1UP:  what did shipping work out to be?

Been watching E-bay for this stick myslef. Havent seen a blue in  a long time    BestBuy had them for $4 and I forgot to buy one, now they are OOS. Media play Alos carriied them (as stated above) and would be a good place to look. Getting harder to find. I see the REPO Tron/Satens Hollow sticks are on E-bay alot now.. so if all else fails look for them.

I see those tron repros and they look good--you get what you pay for with those thats for sure--I would still prefer to go the cheaper avenue and get the raider but if i ever came across a tron joystick i would be passing the raider on to the next guy on this board.
