My first 'OzBargain' deal listing :D

Same as 1UP Arcade ALDI previous deals but some stock has resurfaced.
As of 20/01/2019 ALDI stock says there is:

x6 SF/Rampage - ALDI Leongatha
x5 SF - ALDI Lilydale
x4 SF - ALDI Cheltenham

If you ring 13ALDI to confirm stock they tell you there is no stock anywhere which is incorrect. I just picked up 2 SF machines today from a store they said had no stock. So best to go to the store itself or try to get your local ALDI store manage to call the other store to confirm.

Good hunting!!!

      Just because something has limited stock doesn't mean there's no deal. Last I checked $149 is cheaper than $299…

    Still to expensive in my opinion. Saw these and the Gauntlet cab at my local a week ago for this price. Reviews for the Gauntlet cab arent great as the controls are messed up with the combo of games they have on there. Prefer to put the money towards a real full height cab at some point.

    • ShortyX on 20/01/2019 - 22:19

        Not sure about those two, but I know a lot of people who have thrown a raspberry pi inside with new buttons, joysticks and all and they look and play great!

  • Twisty on 20/01/2019 - 22:26

    I’ve went to two Gold Coast Qld Stores today and saw some at both and they were priced at $299

    I’ve tried price matching in the last for $149 but all stores I tried at 5 in total all said no as Gold Coast have a different region

    • ClawShrimp on 20/01/2019 - 22:37

      Well that sucks.
      I was hoping this was national price and it was just a matter of hunting stock down.

      • Twisty on 20/01/2019 - 22:46

        Apparently this price is only in Vic at some stores

        Not in NSW or QLD
        Don’t know about the other states

      • Cave Fire on 21/01/2019 - 09:44

        Doubt people are going to pay $300. Just a matter of time if you are keen on them.

    • corehaza on 20/01/2019 - 22:49

      Try speaking to ALDI head office as they are supposed to have a national pricing policy so prices should be the same across the country.

      • hazzad on 20/01/2019 - 22:57

        Pretty sure mark downs are up to the store. Heard of plenty of people going in and asking for a best price on a item thats been on shelves for a few weeks. So i suspect its manager discretion.

      • Jackson on 20/01/2019 - 23:04

          +6

          Yes this is correct
          Alsi does have national pricing but only on their normal stock and new release special buys. Discounts are up to the regional manager that’s why NSW & QLD don’t have this price

      I hate profiteers like this. Middle men are parasites that put themselves between the producer and the consumer and make enormous profits in the process. Take this snippet: "The Music Industry Generated $43 Billion in Sales Last Year. Artists Only Received 12% of that."

      True comments and love the comparison between the original NES and the minis, but a lot of what was said becomes a different story once the price is reduced to a third of the original price.

      End of the day, this is a toy. I got mine and love it.

  • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 21/01/2019 - 08:44

    If it helps anyone - I saw about 6x of these 1UP Arcade (unsure which ones) at the Rosebud VIC Aldi about a week ago. They were marked at $299 or so tho.

    Last one gone in Lilydale, winning. Thanks OP :)

    • AjsGuns on 21/01/2019 - 09:45

      Lasted a while considering it was posted here, I got in around 8:45am (was worried I'd miss out as I tried to get in at 8:30am but was late) and I assume there were 4 left when it opened at 8:30am. I saw one bloke walking out with 2 in his trolley as I was walking into the complex and I grabbed 1, you're lucky I was going to grab 2 but didn't know if any of my mates would want one and I didn't want to Broden it.

      I did leave the one with the damaged box for you though ;)

      According to the manager the stock was from another store that couldn't move it, probably why it was reduced to $149 and other stores are $299?

      Probably all out of stock now at those 3 stores, can confirm when I left Lilydale there was only 1 left (which this guy bought)

      • gunslinger on 21/01/2019 - 12:33
        +1

        Lol, thanks for leaving it for me, much appreciated.
        Saw the damage, inside was fine though, plays great and the small size isn't a problem for me, takes up less room but still great, sitting on a stool.
        Saw the guy with 2 trying to squeeze them into his car as I turned up, must have been just after you.

        • AjsGuns on 21/01/2019 - 18:24

          Just glad someone who will use it got it and not a reseller :) don't usually care as much as most people but something with only a handful of stock is a little different.

          Yeah figured it would be fine, my box had a few dents also but nothing compared to yours so hopefully it's fine as well.

          How long did it take you to set up? I was busy today so haven't had the chance to unbox it yet.

          • gunslinger on 22/01/2019 - 13:55

            @AjsGuns: I had it done and playing by about 11.
            Was only looking after 2 kids, they're fine :)
            Think I need to mod it now, joystick seems glitchy, would have taken it back if I'd paid $500 for sure.

  • RocketSwitch on 21/01/2019 - 09:38

    Absolute steal if this was full size. If you MOD it, still good buy.

  • Reverse Snorkel on 21/01/2019 - 09:41

    Good if you got kids but for that price you could buy a raspberry pi, some arcade controls and make your own for less that will play a lot more. You would be angry if you paid full price and now they are at clearance.

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 21/01/2019 - 09:48

    Overall it's a good deal, so +1 and all, but I can't be bothered until it hits 50 or so. Got me a full size Xbox 360 store kiosk thing that fills my needs for such things. If I didn't though, I'd still probably wait until this hits 100, they charged waaaay too much out the gate for it I think.

    • AjsGuns on 21/01/2019 - 09:53

      I'd be shocked it his hit 100, let alone 50. At $150 I assume there at a loss.

      • hazzad on 21/01/2019 - 10:57

        Absolutely. Doubt we will be seeing more of these in the country again. Clearly not enough of a market here. Though seems they have a heap more machines coming out in the US plus extra merch.

  • Twisty on 21/01/2019 - 10:12

    SF fans, dont forget, you can choose secret character AKUMA for super sf turbo. google for more by pattern of moving the characters for 3 seconds, finalising with press/hold start button, half a sec later press 3 punch button alltogether to achieve easire success rate.

    got 1 on chaddy for $149, return product from someone else on the weekend.

    built it last night, very good quality built, the pieces was packed very carefully to avoid scratches, unlike those furniture packs without any wraps or smallboxes.

    instruction VERY clear, printed on good quality of paper.

    The packing system and the quality of the case + the way it packed, is heaps better than IKEA.

    unit case is medium size…

    downside, video quality a bit poor, but acceptable. joystick is a bit hard to use, maybe my hand is to big for a small unit case.

    for 2 adult to play sitting next to each other is a bit tight due to the location of the joystick.

    overall for $149, bring back those childhood memories is worthed. life time memories come from great moments !!!

  • crazyj on 21/01/2019 - 12:00

    • AjsGuns on 21/01/2019 - 18:28
      +1

      What time did you get there? The 4 or 5 left sold out by 9am at Lilydale. Apparently according to the manager they took on another stores stock and only had it there for like 2 days (meaning many staff wouldn't know it came back in stock for 24-48 hours).

      The OP was pretty accurate about the Lilydale store, I saw a guy walk out with 2 and I got 1 with another poster saying he got the other (that's 4) Might of been another someone else got or one that sold last night after the OP got his/hers.

      Would be considerate if people could take 20 seconds to report stock if they buy/visit a store though.

      Thanks OP, I'm chuffed. You're a champion!

      • corehaza on 21/01/2019 - 19:03

        Yeah the staff are a bit clueless. 3 stores I went to initially didn't even know they had an arcade machine for sale. Same as the ALDI number you can call according to them no stock since before Christmas as well. Cheltenham must have just sold them since my initial post :S
