Yeessss!!! You're right .... I love the waiting, when I open the package and the smell of the new arcade pieces   
(the smell of sidearts is amazing  ).

[EvilDindon]

Lol

The smell is very important for me too.

I love the smell of new things (books, etc)

....until you're going to install a new rubber mat in your SW cockpit.......yugh !

I'm afraid that rubber smell will persist for quite some time......but it looks great (if I get to install it properly)....

Today I received the third and most important package from US  :



ORIGINAL NINTENDO COIN DOOR (finally) & ORIGINAL DK CONTROL PANEL  :



Control panel (good condition, working joystick e button - a little renovation and is perfect  ):



Coin door (need a full resto, rust and a little bent but no problem - the coin mechs are perfect   ):
