I know I should probably post this in the hardware forum, but couldn't resist since I just purchased mine from Wal Mart for $470, plus free shipping. Unbeatable price!

Walmart! Are you serious?
I was just at one yesterday and ask a employee where the velcro was.He just stared at me with a totally blank stare and said I should probably check in gardening. I could only imagine asking someone there about if they had a Thrustmaster Warthog hands on throttle and stick.:isadizzy:
I imagine they would probably call security on me.

LOL, I know the feeling. It is on their website, not in the store and through another distributor. But, they accept Paypal and credit cards and free shipping to boot, though did spend a few more dollars for 2nd day shipping. Besides, I think they may think you are talking dirty to them when you mention Thrustmaster, so be careful. Now, to find those MFD's and start rocking on my DCS A-10C, woohoo and Iris' A-10 for $5.00. What a great month!

Thanks Boom, much awaited and looking forward to taking her for a spin. I am hoping we get one final winter storm to make a longer weekend.
 
Hi !

Do you know if there is a good place to buy one in Canada ? I live in Montreal but Walmart Canada doesn't propose the stick there, even online.

Thanks in advance,
Mat

Just do a search on Google or Bing for the joystick. I was sticking to conventional sources which were still selling it for $499 and up. Best of Luck Mat.

Oh My Gosh! It came in today and got to try it out on DCS A-10C and will try FSX tomorrow. What a fantastically constructed, finished and overall designed joystick. It's the most fun I've had with my two hands in a couple of weeks (last two dates were sorta boring). Would highly recommend this purchase when you are able to. Now, off to find some profiles for it, especially FSX and potentially the Superbug. Anyone have any good links to hook me up with?

I also ordered one from Walmart on Monday, but FedEx came to late today so I missed it!!! :(

But tomorrow is another day... of phone calls to Fedex

Thanks for the well wishes about dating. Honestly, have kept my options open while in Ohio, but now that I am moving back to Fort Lewis, WA, the women there like huggin trees, Birkenstocks, dogs and Warriors. Good thing I dug out my sandals and am buying a house with many trees, will capture all the hugs then.

Also, thanks for the links on the Warthog. It truly has been my best purchase so far as joysticks are concerned. I am now debating on buying the MFD kit by Thrustmaster as well, but am out of USB ports to run them. Also, be forewarned, the Warthog needs 2 USB ports for both devices, which my available port was going to be for an MFD. Guess I'll have to buy a keyboard with USB ports.

As for a review, may be some time before I get situated, as movers pack me the week after Christmas and will not see simming until I get to Tacoma and re-established.
