Well just a little problem if you don't know about it! Donkey Konga is being shipped tommorrow instead of Friday 12th, yes!, sadly if you have ordered an additional drum you should of recieved an email from Play-Asia stating that the drums are so RARE, that there only getting them in tommorrow (one small batch) and next week, if you've only just preordered an additonal drum you'll probably have to wait! So you have to reply to Play-Asia stating that: you want both order's shipped together (meaning a slight delay for you getting Donkey Konga), you want to spilt the order's (i did this) so Donkey Konga is shipped tommorrow and the additional drum follows a little bit later (please note delivery will have to be paid for each item) or you can cancel the additional drum (not a very good idea if there so RARE). I'm a tad dissapointed but it's a Xmas Present anyway so i can't play it till 25th, meaning the delay with the extra drum is not going to make a lot of difference!
Donkey Konga is also going to be released in the UK, around March/April 2004. The drums will most probably be very RARE, like Samba Di Amigo Marraca's, at this moment in time the game and drum set is not, so that's a good thing, i'm a little bit surprised that extra drums are RARE for the Japanese market as they love this sort of thing! My advice to you would be to preorder the game the minute you can in your local GAME etc.. The cost of the set is unknown, but i'm guessing £49.99! Hope all that Info's help's people who have bought it from Play-Asia and want it when it comes out in Europe! :D if you want to look at the official news section please go to www.play-asia.com!

Hey, have you ever ordered anything from Play Asia? I was having a look, but was reluctant to give them my credit card details.
I sure have, delivery is quite expensive but i've never known such a good company (instead of Lik-Sang) that are SUPERB. They answer email queries extremeley quickly, there prices are cheap meaning you can add expensive delivery get the game delivered in a few days and it would come to the same price you can buy it here for but you get it much earlier! (USA and JAP imports obviously). They update there website the minute they get new stuff in etc.. and keep to their word. They also get main games in at least one week before release. They also ship stuff out extremeley quick also.
I've just had an email back stating because i preordered Donkey Konga and the Drum Set so early (Oct 5th) they will take out the additional drums from other Donkey Konga packs and let me have one of those!!! Hows that for service? I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again anytime. Excellent. :)

Right thanks very much. Far happier in ordering from them now.
They get games into stock so early, that even with standard delivery you get them around the time they are on sale in "normal" Japanese high street shops.
Just to let you know Play-Asia also charge Custom Charges on most items. Donkey Konga (game and drum) and another Drum arrived yesterday, Delivery and Custom Charges on both item's = £37, add this to the £40 (Donkey Konga(game+drum) and an additional drum of £23, and you get a grand total of around £100!
Sounds alot, however i'm pleased to say i still have saved quite a bit of money by importing it!
Kingcube: Are selling Donkey Konga bundles for £80 and additional drums for £50, making a total of £130.
Cagames: Are selling Donkey Konga bundles for £100, sadly prices of additional drums still not known, but i say £50 (could be even dearer!), making a total of £150!
I'm going to research more now! Just think if i didn't do Express 1-3 days delivery how much more i would of saved! Brilliant. ;)

Hope these prices help people who are wanting to buy it from Import Shops situated in the UK! Here's another one:
VideogameImports: Are selling Donkey Konga Bundles for £84.99 and additional drums for £40! makes a total of £124.99
So there really does seem to be a amount of around £120-£150 with import shops in the UK, All the companies i have mentioned so far are exmtremley good (in my opinion), so take your pick if your thinking of buying it! However i would act fast, as i believe Donkey Konga will be a great Christmas present to all gender's and Age Groups which would most probably be sold out by the new year! My impressions of Donkey Konga will arrive after a whole day of playing next Friday, Boxing Day . I hope it's as good as i want it to be! :D

The drums will be selling at a premium on ebay by next week - if they are not already.
Bloody hell, I'll have to pick Donkey Konga up before it disappears.
The additional drums still aren't in stock at Lik-Sang or Play-Asia, or anyother Import Shop instead of Kingcube, i would really suggest that you'll buy the additional drums the minute they come in stock as the back-log of order's (in play-asia for example) for the additional drums is pretty big!
