My current stick (not VKB) is almost completely worn out. I really need to get a new one. USA will ship and I would buy it right now if it were not for the potential to buy in Europe, plus threat of import duties/taxes. How difficult is it to get a price for EU?

I don't think that you can buy it in USA. There is no delivery option to EU.

Which country are you from or importing to? I have the same problem with my MS FF2, it is already EOL really, center is very bad, precise flying in P3D is almost impossible and using non-gimballed weapons in E:D is unthinkable. I always thought I'll go for TM Warthog, as there is really nothing else that can replace the quality of MSFF2, and then I found out about VKB. I really hope VKB would get more attention, I don't have the stick yet, but I read only good about them, so there's that.
I'll probably do a review on the stick and put it on my flight simming blog when I get it.

Its not worth the hassle for me, the import costs,customs clearance,shipping costs to Belgium is not going to be worth the costs... i once dealt with it, and NEVER again.

I once ordered A Leopold Keyboard from China, take a guess how long my package sat at the customs office.. 2 freaking months.. plus the costs on top of it.

Hopefully the Gladiator pro arrives soon in the Netherlands.. been waiting for a very long time.

I think only Eduard can speculate that since he's in charge for EU market, i expect it to be 300-350€ for normal gunfighter. just my guess comparing other products
EU taxes always bring price way above US and RUS market

Hello Andy and redribbon,

I would like to be careful about pricing at the moment. The pricing on EU market depends on EUR/USD rate, transportation cost, Custom tax and production cost of course. We do not have buffer in price in order to sell the VKB products with most affordable price and do not make loss as well. So, the price will be announced when we know all costs. It will be higher than US/RU prices but hopefully not much higher.

We have chosen the most cost efficient way to ship Gladiator Pro and T-Rudders to Europe - via sea. It takes extra time and I have to reply many emails with the questions when Gladiator Pro is available and how much would it cost. But, finally, we should be able to offer Gladiator Pro with lower price than before.

For Gunfighter it is the same story. But also, please, note that the production batch for EU is not yet ready. So, please, be patient.
