« on: December 08, 2007, 09:57:08 PM »
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a set of these? I live in aus and the dc wasn't big here so they're rare as hell. I remember playing it when it first come out and it was funny as hell....

Dagnabbit...anyway after a bit of googling I think the best I can do is third party maracas from china/hk. They are supposed to be more accurate than the official sega ones. Beggers can't be choosers....

If you're interested - www.hkems.com

I guess if you manage to order it will all be fine though. :D

I know, its a shocker!! but I don't have a lot of options... It all works out to about 50 dollars au anyway, so its worth a shot. I'll keep you posted

I have the EMS ones.  I don't know how accurate the official ones are, but the EMS ones aren't that accurate. 

You'll wish you spent the extra $20 or so to get the official ones off ebay.

Don't get me wrong, its still fun to play ;).

play-asia.com also offers a set of 3rd-party maracas, and they're very reliable (the site I mean, I haven't used the maracas)

Hey Giggity, did you order those from that website?  If so, what's your opinion on them and the website in general?

No I didn't but that site has a very good reputation. The third party maracas are pretty good, but nothing is as good as the originals. I have both and the official ones are about 20% more accurate

the 3rd party ones suck =(

I can probably hook you up from trader2 in akiba, they usually have a set on display, like everything else there its used but looks and feels like new. I guarantee its cheaper than 125GBP ;D im going there on thursday to check the price so let me know if your interested, I used to work for PayPal so I dont accept that since im not covered (swedish account but living in tokyo) so an IBAN transfer would be the best solution, let me know if youre interested :)
