Seems like a US price drop only at the moment (Thomann.de confirmed "no" price drop in EU at the moment).

So, thanks for this tip! I just ordered this ARX-01 at the Midi Store :-)

^^^ Actually, they do...

I bugged Nate Edwards there every day last week...they were trying to find out from Roland if Roland was going to give them a subsidy on the units they already have in stock...turns out Roland won't...SO, they are stuck with their units at $399 or at least whatever they paid for them...I was going to oder from them if he could do the $99, but once he heard from Roland he said he can't do it...so I bought from the Midi Store...!

I even tried to get Roland to sell me one directly for $99...dude said, NO. Lol...he did confirm the price drop though...but said they are still retail on the Roland store...makes no sense, but what ever!

I love that ARX-01 by the way...!

YEA....of course they know now... I told them!!!!!! the guy actually noted it in their system while I was on the phone. and said he was going to have someone (in some department) check in on it.

Maybe I should have said.... "they had no idea"

^^^ Huh??

That's what I'm saying...they knew for sure on Thursday that Roland wasn't giving them a subsidy on the cards cause Nate had been trying to get an answer from them all week...he called Roland early in the week (Monday I think)... but didn't get an actual answer from Roland until Thursday...that's the day I ordered it from the midi store...

That's sucks for them actually, they've got alot of these in stock that they are going to have to take a bath on... :(

True...I saw an ARK-01 sell on ebay for $127.50 and it was used, without the bo or anything...

Mine is showing up Wednesday and I ordered it a while ago from BHPhotoVideo. My shipping confirmation came in the day you messaged about the Midistore.

Without the BO? How can that be? I thought Roland's SuperNATURAL technology modeled everything. Body odor is a critical part of the drumming experience!
