Got it!!!!

Stickers "on" the cabinet:


Next steps:
- remove the stickers
- paint the sides
- apply the new stickers

Many thanks Andre  ;)

Well...my feeling was right....

Package just arrived 5 minutes ago, had to pay €25.80 tax etc....

Weird because it was indicated as Gift !

They labelled it under the category: "Games with picture screen, operating with coins" Now who on earth would think they still HAVE that category !  ;D ;D

They charged it at €70 customs value so......I guess it's not too bad in the end :)

I'll see how we will share these costs guys...PM's later


 Geez, guys, help me remember, did you guys ever pay your share in the tax costs ?

Can't remember, but I didn't find a PM from you in my inbox with regard to this. So better safe than sorry and charge us!  :)

Hey guys, I sent you guys 2 PMs.

The second is the correct amount....

Thanks and sorry !

And so.....my turn to the Dark Side has completed.

I have sold the stencils to one who has The Force to do stencils, even the most complicated one's.....

And in return, I have returned to my original plan to use the Dark Side:

Today I picked this up from the mail (after paying a whopping €57,34 of import costs and taxes (Sadly it was valued at 300 bucks....without shipping costs) on the form. :(

O well, everything for the Ms. !!!


It looks much sweater in real life. It _is_ a bit more shiny than I had expected though.

Yes, you guys can all burn me, but I simply thought I would still have those stencils in the box over 10 years...and THIS is a project that I think I _can_ install....

There was also another item in the box:



I figured....once I bought Jrok's FCPGA and a couple of weeks later I had a Joust cab....maybe this will work again ?!? ;)

If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Darth Nuno.

... Is the dark side stronger?

No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive. 

 ;D ;D ;D ;)

damn, almost 60 bucks import taxes - that sucks big time. honestly, i still can't understand why we have to pay taxes on stuff like that at all. can someone explain this to me, please?

good luck with those decals, attaching huge vinyl like that isn't a walk in the park either, but much easier and of course less time-consuming than stencils. i wonder who bough those ... 8)

Sure: we have to pay for countries like Greece and Portugal who don't know how to manage their finances....and so they borrowed loads of money from our banks and because these MULTI-BILLION EURO earning machines are now at risk, we have to pay.

Actually I din't have to pay import duties but VAT (Value Added Tax). That is 19%. The customs set the value at €236 so over that I pay 19% = 44,84 Added to that is 12,50 costs of the declaration or whatever it's called....

Bottom line is that this could have been a lot lower or even 0 with the right "precautions". But I was sleepy too this time...

O well, let's focus on the positive stuff !
