Importing a Saturn Virtua Gun?

Post by Mod_Man_Extreme »

Are there any hurdles to importing a Saturn Virtua gun?

I really like the look of it, and have heard that it is more accurate than it's US counterpart so I was wondering if it's at all possible to import it easily, or if it would just get stuck in customs for eternity.

Do you mean because it's a gun? I imported one of my Dreamcast light guns from Hong Kong and the other from the UK without any problems.

*Shrug* I always thought that the Sega Stunner was one of the most accurate lightguns that I've ever used

I've seen plenty of stunner guns on ebay from Japan. I don't see why it should be so difficult to get a hold of one.

Luckily I bought one with my JPN Saturn and House Of The Dead :D

I agree it's my favorite light gun of all time.

I am actually surprised you didn't know the answer already. You and Hobie-wan seem to answer questions on everybody's threads. :lol:

Yay, I know something. :mrgreen:

I'm just checking to be sure, I've been talking with Hashiriya1 about getting one imported in with HOTD and a few other titles and he stated that he'd had a friend's package with a lightgun returned to sender.

Anyhow, I guess I'll be OK then!

@Weekend Warrior: While the US Stunner is great, it's Japanese counterpart has a much more accurate photo-diode for more precise shooting, plus the black and yellow color scheme looks pretty cool.

Good luck in finding the set. I haven't seen Japanese stunners bundled with HOTD for a long while. I usually see them loose going for as low as 200 yen.

Well bundled with any game really, as long as I can get a copy of HOTD too.
