UK pad fix?

So, all you lucky people in the states get the fix as of now right??
Well, 4 weeks after i emailed akai product support here in the UK, I am still waiting for a reply on how i can get my hands on the new pads.
Has anyone else in the UK or europe gotten any yet? If so where from?
cheers.

Nope...

I emailed the us support and they just linked to VST....

I'm in UK. i ordered them from mpc-stuff.com. 2 weeks delivery. they work a treat. dunno what too do with me old ones though?? one or two of them work

sorry guys, but is it sounds crazy ?

where is f@@@@ bloody wAKAI ?

heheheh,
they f@@@@ us up and then in EU you can't even buy pad upgrade....

i can't believe it !!!!

same here in germany.....

the exchange rate betwen euro and dollar is really interesting for us european so why not buying them from mpc-stuff ?
they charge 20 dollars for shipping and i had to pay 10 euros of customs fee.
i'm sure they will be 180 euros instead of 180 dollars when they're available here

The swekrona is strong compared to the USD and with some tullavgifter and moms the padfix will endup under 2000 kronor if you order from VST.
just don't use VST webpage to make the payment.
their shippingcost calculator estimate a price of 10000 USdollars wich is slighty high to end up on your credicard bill
shipment is about $30 manually calculated

anyway, i am thinking about get rid off old mpc3000.....after that pad upgrade and new JJ os 2.0.....
well...
who knows....

Anyone inside EU, did you have to pay taxes when the pads came from us to europe? Hope mpcstuff is writing on the package that it includes a "gift"

I think somebody said that they do that.

I emailed thomann.de and they didnt know anything about that "upgrade"

mine wasn't marked as gift. I'm in the UK
