Happy STG’mas!
Just took delivery of the above – a nice big box stuffed full of Japan goodies, all the way from our favourite Tokyo STG purveyor, Jeff aka rancor. http://www.sk8tokyo.com/shmup/

Found a heap of random stuff in the studio, anyone interested? (For those that asked, I think the AMI boxes could be knocked out around the €5 mark for Xmas. Also a couple of Akai Katana boxes left, plus heaps of the DLC postcards etc. from the original beer-kits. PM me.)
New cab addition at Ebstg HQ
