I'm all for buying things at the cheapest possible price so i'll post the best deals i've come across and you can post deals you find and i'll update the list. I'm probably only going to post items that are hard to find in NZ or are ridiculously overpriced in NZ.
Madcatz xbox360 TE S (white) $246 incl shipping

Blazblue CS (US) around $58NZ incl shipping

I have bought the items above from these places and were both great sellers when i purchased from them i also think the fightstick comes with some sort of warranty if it gets lost in transit but you have to wait i think 5-6 weeks before you can get a new fightstick resent if that does happen but i think thats unlikely, don't quote me on that though make sure you check the sellers website.
If you were looking for plexis for your fightstick this guy does an awesome deal i haven't bought from him yet but am planning to do so. he also does custom etched dust protectors and stuff if you supply the design. to check out what he does check the shoryuken thread some cool plexis he does different colours but beware i think they might be a bit thicker so you might want screw in buttons.
heres his thread on shoryuken

heres the link to his shop ( think its aroung $38 for a regular cut plexi incl shipping to NZ but i think you can bulk order a whole lot of stuff and it doesn't affect shipping to much so you guys can do group buys to cut down on shipping but shipping isn't that bad anyways)

Hope this helps.
BUY BLAZBLUE CS
also the prices stated above are guidelines and represent the NZ doller at its current state so it's subject to change so use a currency converter to get an accurate price i also advise using paypal to do your purchases thats what i used and i'm not sure if these sellers make purchases any other way.

Plexi's (a bit more expensive apparently $70)
-B Boy Draw
Great idea bro
Also just so you know, those aren't "Round 2" TE sticks - they're the MadCatz TE S sticks - still a really good price though!
Yeh, Nice gems you found there bruv!
I've found it hard to find TE S sticks @ a nice price...and especially on Ebay who ship worldwide!!!
But these guys look like the winner!!! (Bookmarking...)
As for the plexi's...I've been hitting the Tek-Innovations option...
http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/
Shipping is madd crazy though...
Your stick was pretty awesome B Boys. I miss the Guile one though, thought that was awesome but the clear plexi looks stylish too :)
Fark. $38 Plexis is a really awesome price. Might be a goer actually. Ive been meaning to get one, but theyre roughly $70 from that Arts Hobbies/Tek innovations place. Anyone else keen?
I wouldn't mind one at that price bill...
Less than $38 a piece. $60 for 2 incl shipping. Keen.

whats the round 2 TE sticks bro? is that the one that everyone has??
how long does the stick take to arrive after ordering?
edit: theres like two sites, gamersbites.com and gamersbite.com lol... im guessing the site that has the sticks is the right one
I ordered another TE stick from Capcom.. i'm sure it's cheaper than before. Maybe not.
$120USD+$80USD shipping. ($280ish NZD)

jeez that was fast lol
Yea holy shit. That was awesome delivery.
I know. I have the most fucked up luck with delivery from the states. In the last 6-7 years nothing has taken longer than 5 working days.
And i've ordered a LOT of shit.
