Buying the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Amazon Japan: What to Watch Out For
  • This is about buying in Japan: Amazon Japan is so convenient — is it safe to buy the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS there?
  • Are there any downsides?

This article is for anyone asking those questions.

My answer: I'd avoid it. You might receive an older A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, and because of that VORZE (the maker) may refuse to repair it.

I don't recommend buying the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Amazon Japan, but if you have to, please weigh the risks first.

Watch out for fakes, and for scams that try to steal your personal information.

What to Watch Out For When Buying the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Amazon Japan

You might get an older A10 Cyclone SA PLUS

The A10 Cyclone SA PLUS page on Amazon Japan said this:

Amazon Japan product description of the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, with an arrow pointing to “micro-USB charging cable included”
Screenshot of the product description on Amazon Japan (in Japanese), August 2022. The arrow points to “micro-USB charging cable included.”

“(Comes with a micro-USB charging cable)” (as listed in August 2022)

As of July 2022, new A10 Cyclone SA PLUS units charge over USB-C (VORZE's current user guide still lists a USB-C charging cable in the box, September 2026).

So there's a chance Amazon sends you an older unit.

The older version charges much more slowly than the USB-C one.

On top of that, VORZE's website clearly stated (in 2022) that older A10 Cyclone SA PLUS units are not eligible even for paid repairs:

“Only Cyclone SA+PLUS units with a USB-C charging port can be repaired. Units with micro-USB or pin-type charging are not eligible.”

Source: VORZE consumer support page (vorze.jp, in Japanese)

It could also count against you if you ever get bored of it and want to sell it second-hand.

Update (September 2026)

Paid repairs: USB-C units only

As of September 25, 2026, VORZE still accepts the Cyclone SA+PLUS for paid repairs.
Only units with a USB-C charging port qualify; micro-USB and pin-type units can't be repaired.
Check the type of charging port before you buy, and check the unit again when it arrives.
I've put together what to do if it breaks in this article.

It isn't the cheapest

NLSAmazon JapanRakutenFANZA
¥32,890¥35,000Not sold¥44,200

When I compared prices, Amazon Japan was not the cheapest place to buy the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS: NLS charged ¥32,890 and Amazon ¥35,000 (FANZA is Japan's big adult video store, which also sells toys).

Update (September 2026)

Current prices and availability

The table above shows prices from 2022.
Here are the prices and availability as of September 25, 2026:
StorePriceAvailability
NLS¥19,800 (about US$126)In stock
FANZA¥28,151In stock
Amazon Japan–No listing for the unit on its own; out of stock (no restock planned)
Rakuten–0 search results when not logged in
On Amazon Japan, all I found was a set bundled with a VR headset and other items (¥49,800 plus ¥472 shipping).
Rakuten requires age verification for adult products, so 0 results doesn't prove it isn't sold there.
I recommend buying from NLS, the official store.
If you're considering the Amazon set, compare what's in it, not just the price.

If you want the lowest price, NLS was the one to pick when I compared.

Remember that even on Amazon, buying from a seller you can't trust is risky.

So it's safer to buy the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS from NLS, which I believe sells more of them than anyone else.

NLS works closely with VORZE, the maker, so if anything goes wrong, you're in good hands.

This is an expensive toy.

If something goes wrong, it hurts both your nerves and your wallet.

Lots of points → a scam that steals your personal information

Amazon Japan listing for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS at 35,000 yen, with a warning about scam shops
Screenshot of the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Amazon Japan (in Japanese), February 2023: ¥35,000, with a warning about overseas shops that promise lots of points, never ship, and try to collect personal data.

For the A10 Piston SA (VORZE's thrusting model), Amazon Japan itself posted a warning like the one above in 2022: a points scam was going around.

The product never arrives, and the scammers pretend there was a delivery mistake so they can collect your personal information.

The same thing could happen with the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS.

People have ended up with no points and no product.

Update (September 2026)
When I looked on September 25, 2026, I didn't see any suspiciously cheap listings on Amazon Japan, or any listings promising huge amounts of points.
Before you order, check the “Ships from” and “Sold by” fields on the product page.

Watch out for shops based in China

Always check the shop's ratings.

When I checked (2022), the scam shop's address was in China.

Shops that do shady things always end up with low ratings.

Buying from a seller that has only just started listing is risky, too.

Check the shop information properly

If you buy the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Amazon Japan, always check the seller's ratings.

For extra peace of mind, check the address as well.

Looking at the address often tells you whether it's a real company.

These days, ratings can be bought, too.

Some sellers really do hand out Amazon gift cards in exchange for fake reviews.

If all that checking sounds like too much work, read about how I bought a genuine unit safely from NLS.

Here's how I made sure I got a genuine unit, and the items I recommend buying with it:

Your family might find out

It arrives in an Amazon box.

That means someone else might open it by mistake.

A shop that puts an “open by addressee only” sticker on the box is the safer choice.

NLS shipping label on the box, with the product described as printer parts and a sender name that isn't NLS

If you really don't want anyone to know, I recommend NLS, which also lets you pick up your parcel at a convenience store or delivery depot instead of having it delivered home.

Update (September 2026)

Have your NLS order delivered somewhere other than home

As of September 25, 2026, NLS lets you change the item name on the parcel and the sender's name.
For pickup, you can choose a post office or a Lawson or Ministop convenience store.
You can also have it held at a Yamato Transport depot.
If you don't want your family to find out, choose a pickup point other than your home.

The popular Oral sleeve costs more

The Oral sleeve for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS held in a hand

The most popular dedicated sleeve for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS is called the Oral.

I got bored of the Medusa sleeve that comes with the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, so I bought the Oral too.

The downside of Amazon Japan is that at times (in 2022) the Oral cost over ¥3,000 there.

At NLS, it costs ¥2,750 (the same price when I wrote this and as of September 2026).

The author

The Medusa sleeve that comes with the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS is far too weak, so please also read my article on which dedicated sleeve to buy.

Update (September 2026)

The Oral: price and stock

As noted above, on September 25, 2026 the Oral was ¥2,750 and in stock at NLS.
FANZA had it for ¥2,717, so the Oral on its own is now a little cheaper there than at NLS.
I haven't been able to check Amazon's current price.
