They're re-releasing the Star Wars cab the 40th anniversary version. Minor changes and a price bump (but does come with a riser) as the first sold out quickly.

£699 pre-order at Game: https://www.game.co.uk/en/arcade1up-sta ... me-2898390

Not sold out yet and been up a little while, so there is always a possibility they have saturated the market and they may go cheaper like their other cabs later (or they're producing just enough to meet demand). As I always wanted an original but never had the space, skills to maintain it and of course the cash (the last one I saw listed at over £5k) I wasn't going to miss out again.

And £699 is less than the V1s were selling for on eBay prior to this. (annoyingly seems to be $599 in the US)

Problem is, still no space and the misses doesn't know! It's coming to the office, so may stay flat-packed for a few years until I get the house move with man cave.

I've seen some modded V1 cabinets that include a lot of games playable on the yoke (which of course would work quite well for driving games too) including Star Wars Battlepod - so maybe I'll do that before I die!

Now we just need to find a Partycade Defender for Deckard...

Yes, not really discreet is it?!

I'm sure I'll be tempted to set it up at work, but the area where it could go I don't technically pay for (I've got away with storage atm), if they start seeing me using that bit it, it could prove costly!
