I have the chance to purchase a Foxdata complete set (console and 4 controllers).  Basically, I am going into this deal blind besides the fact I know that they are quite rare and were produced in very limited numbers.  I am just curious as to any information members of NA have, along with any members here who own a set/controllers/etc.

Thanks!

There were a number of these available in February and March of this year. The controllers were 250 pounds and each console was 350 pounds. There are 2 different sets of 4 controllers. The first set was solid colors and the second set of 4 all had different designs. The e-mail correspondence that I had said that 10-12 of each set 1 controller were available in Feb/March. The second set of designs was produced in lower quantity, and those were not available this year.

Pretty sure you can still contact the company and order these. I know there were a few people who bought them this year direct from the company. I'd make sure your not paying more then what it would cost to just buy them new direct from the company.

Also worth clarifying that these were newly sprayed controllers and not old stock leftover from twenty years ago.

Are you buying from Conker, OP?

I wouldn't buy them at all. If you change your mind on them it'll be tough to get back what you paid.

What set are you looking at purchasing since there seems to be several.

Just the chrome ones... not the sweet design set.

Anyways, I decided not to go for it.  I was told Foxdata was allowing orders for a few sets they had left, yet they are charging around 200 euros per controller and 350 per console... so not the old prices, which I thought was lame if they were coming directly from the source, but oh well.  
Thanks for the info, guys!  Defiantly badass items, yet not worth the steep price in my eyes.
