Forget about Japanese and/or Chinese retailers for now. (if money does matter) Most are much more expensive than the stuff offered on the forums. Especially with Cave stuff.

Maybe you can find a nice deal on Japanese auction sites but you have to invest a lot of time in that.

If you're really looking for something special you better try your luck on the forums (not just this one) and put up a wanted add. But before you put up a wanted better do a pricecheck first.
 
I was at Mak! Japan today, bought a 3rd Strike kit (No CD version w00t!) :D

Mak Japan, Gfront and Try-inc are PCB shops in Akihabara, Tokyo.
They won`t ship to Europe. The guys at Mak! are awesome, I`ve known them for some years now and they always helped me out with nice deals.
Try-inc and especially Gfront are a bunch of arrogant idiots.

I know Fujita has shipped to Europe in the past, and their prices are OK.
I`ve had some e-mail contact a couple of years ago, and they are legit.

There are 2 problems at the moment though.

1. The Japanese Yen is very high.
2. Shipping from Japan is expensive.

The best way to find arcade games are at this forum or even better from countries with a larger community, especially France and the UK. Check Neo-arcadia.com, shmups.com and arcadeotaku.com for the better deals online and forget about Japan (or you should visit Tokyo).
 
Not sure about stock for cabinets, Ronnie knows all about this.
