Avoid Fake A10 Cyclone SA Shops: How I Bought a Genuine One for Less
- This article is about buying in Japan. Which online store sells the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS at the lowest price?
- Where can I be sure to get a genuine one, not a fake?
Watch out for fakes and scams.
Because it's such a popular product, there are several suspicious sites claiming to sell the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS for less than half price — I actually found some (2022).
Here's exactly how I made sure I bought a genuine unit.
I also have clear reasons for recommending the store I bought from, so if you don't want to make a mistake, read on.

[Scam Warning] The Cheapest A10 Cyclone SA PLUS Will Never Arrive
I found a scam online shop selling the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS for ¥7,000 (2022).
They turn up when you search for the product name plus some other word.
Hunting around for a cheap online deal is dangerous in itself.
If you want a guaranteed genuine unit, pay the regular price.
The scam site I came across had the Nishimatsuya logo and was a copy of Nishimatsuya's online store (Nishimatsuya is a Japanese chain of baby and children's clothing stores).
Nishimatsuya would never sell an adult toy like the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, so you'd notice if you thought calmly — but when you're turned on, you can't think straight.
Nobody can sell it that cheap.
You will 100% never receive the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS.
A telltale sign of these scam shops: they make you pay by bank transfer.
Only shops with a certain level of trust can accept credit cards, so scam sites are often bank-transfer only.
Check the price and the seller
Don't decide on price alone — check the seller's company details too.Avoid shops whose company details are unclear.
If you're not sure where to buy, check the price on NLS's official product page.
Even on Amazon Japan, some sellers are scammers, so be careful.

Why I Recommend NLS for a Guaranteed Genuine A10 Cyclone SA PLUS
I recommend NLS, the official Japanese online store for RENDS/VORZE, which has been in business since 2000.
I bought my A10 Cyclone SA PLUS at NLS too.
I'll go through my reasons one by one.
Buy from the wrong store and you'll struggle later with breakdowns and returns, so be careful.
[1] They handle problems properly
There are a few reviews reporting breakdowns of the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS — not many, but some.
When I wrote this, one advantage was that the store stood between you and the maker and handled problems for you (this has partly changed — see the update below).
NLS once told me they would handle warranty claims for me, even for adult products from overseas makers.
Another time, when I emailed them saying “I think it's broken,” they sent me detailed steps to try, and that solved it.
I think you'd struggle to get support this thorough anywhere other than a major adult store like NLS.
So it was reassuring that if anything went wrong with my A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, I could contact NLS first, before the maker.
According to NLS's information I checked on September 25, 2026, NLS exchanges units that arrive damaged or defective if you contact them within 8 days of delivery.
After that, the maker's warranty (3 months from purchase) and repairs go directly to RENDS, the manufacturer, through the official VORZE website.
Paid repairs for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS are still accepted as of September 2026.
💡 Test it as soon as it arrives, and if anything seems wrong, contact NLS within 8 days.
For breakdowns and the warranty, see this article:

[2] You can buy it at the lowest price
When I compared prices, the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS was cheapest at NLS.
| NLS | Amazon Japan | Rakuten | FANZA |
| ¥32,890 | ¥35,000 | Not sold | ¥44,200 |
Amazon Japan was about ¥2,100 more expensive, and its listing also carried a warning about scam sellers (quoted below):
Prices and stock today
The table above shows old prices (2022–23).Here are the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS's prices and stock as of September 25, 2026:
| Store | Price / stock |
|---|---|
| NLS | ¥19,800 (in stock) |
| FANZA | ¥28,151 (in stock) |
| Amazon Japan | Unit alone out of stock (no restock planned) |
| Rakuten | 0 results when not logged in (can't tell if it's sold) |
■■■ Warning ■■■ Malicious overseas direct-shipping sellers that keep changing their store names and hand out excessive points have appeared.

They hold no stock, arrange forced cash-on-delivery shipments of unknown contents, and have even been seen getting buyers to scan a LINE QR code on the pretext of a delivery mistake in order to steal personal information.
Check the [Seller] and buy from a store based in Japan.
If you want to buy safely, I recommend NLS, which has been in business since 2000.
[NLS original] You can buy the holder at the same time
If you're buying the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, this holder is a must-have.
It's NLS's own product.
It's only sold at NLS (as of 2023).
| NLS | Amazon Japan | FANZA |
| Not sold | Not sold |
The holder now costs ¥2,156, and NLS lists it as “restock date undecided” (checked September 25, 2026).
Instead, these two holders are in stock at NLS (prices as of September 2026):
- Electric stroker holder (¥2,288): NLS's description says it also holds the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS
- Fabric holder for electric strokers (¥594): according to NLS, the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS only just fits
Buying a holder on its own later is a hassle, and you'd pay shipping again.
To lose yourself without holding the machine, you need something to hold it in place.
Hold it in your hand and the realism of VR drops to one-thousandth of what it could be. Seriously…
You can go all the way in, and it holds everything firmly.
It also makes working your VR headset (fast-forwarding and so on) so much easier — I'm really glad I bought it.
Holder for electric strokers
[3] They sell the most A10 Cyclone SAs, so you can count on their support
I'd say NLS sells more A10 Cyclone SA PLUS units than anyone (my view in 2022).
That's because it's the online store with the most reviews of it.
One reason is that they're close to the maker, so they get stock first and rarely run out (as I understood it in 2022).
Selling so many means they're used to dealing with problems when they happen.
When I bought a toy costing nearly ¥30,000, I emailed them about a fault and got a reply right away — and following their email fixed the problem.
NLS has been in business since 2000, so there's no way they'd risk selling fakes.
They'd never throw away that kind of track record by taking such a risk.
Bad reviews spread in no time these days, so choose a store that handles problems properly.
Generous points
In my experience (2022), NLS gives back more points than other stores.
Even on your first purchase you get 3% back in points.
At the price back then, that came to over 700 points for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS.
As of September 25, 2026, the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS earns 594 to 2,376 points (3% to 12%), depending on your member rank.
My rank is high, so I got 1,500 points.
On top of the purchase points, I've spent over ¥100,000 there in total, so I also got a 3,000-point bonus (2022).
You'll probably keep buying things like extra sleeves, so it pays to buy from a store where points add up fast from the start.
I'm still deciding what to spend my NLS points on (lol).
Once your total purchases pass ¥50,000, you get 1,000 bonus points (as of 2022).
Between sleeves and the holder, I hit ¥50,000 in no time.
A huge range of products
NLS has a huge range of adult goods.
When you want something else, you can use your points on it.
They already know all about discreet shipping, which is reassuring.
Some people mod the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS so they can use NLS strokers that aren't dedicated sleeves.

They're serious about discreet delivery
You can pick your parcel up at a convenience store or post office instead, so nobody has to know.
You can also ask for a “kizukai” sticker asking that only the addressee open the box, which lowers the risk of someone else opening it compared with an Amazon delivery (it's a request, so it can't guarantee nobody else opens it).
On September 25, 2026, NLS's product page offered pickup at a post office, at Lawson or Ministop convenience stores, or at a Yamato depot.
Changing the item name and sender on the parcel, and the “kizukai” sticker, are all still available.
My Experience Buying the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS at NLS
Ordering
It's popular, so it was limited to one per customer (July 2022). If you're interested, I'd buy it sooner rather than later.
As of September 25, 2026, I couldn't confirm on the product page whether the one-per-customer limit still applies.
Check how many you can order on the official NLS site before you buy.
You can also check out as a guest without logging in.
You'll need a credit card and your address.
If you've ordered before, you don't need to enter your address or card number again, so it's quick.
By default, the item name on the label is “PC parts.”
So you're safe even if your family looks up the sender on the label, you can use a made-up company name.
By default it's “Daiwa Logistics.”
You can change it to any company name you like.
Because it's a precision device, you can also have a “kizukai” sticker put on, asking that only the addressee open it.
You can ask for a phone call before delivery.
You can also have it left in a delivery box if you're out.
I have them put it in my OKIPPA bag (a parcel bag that hangs on your door).
Note that this only applies when you're out — they'll still ring the bell.
Asking for a call first gives you peace of mind.
You can also skip the address and pick it up at a delivery depot or a convenience store.
You can choose the carrier, too.
You can choose Yamato or Japan Post, and pick the delivery date and time (still true as of September 2026, though the time isn't guaranteed, and Yamato doesn't deliver to Okinawa).
When I ordered (July 2022), these payment methods were available:
- Credit card
- Cash on delivery
LINE Pay- Pay later at a convenience store
- Bank transfer in advance
These are the four payment methods NLS listed on September 25, 2026:
- Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, JCB)
- Cash on delivery (¥300 fee)
- Pay later at a convenience store (¥440 fee, up to ¥55,000)
- Bank transfer (in advance)
For my A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, I used 2,446 points and earned 1,501 points.
I entered my credit card.
Once it's done, you see this screen, and a shipping notice arrives by email.
The same-day shipping cutoff is 2:00 pm (10:00 am on Sundays and holidays) — still the same as of September 2026, for orders whose stock and payment are confirmed by then.
As of September 25, 2026, shipping costs ¥590 by Japan Post and ¥840 by Yamato.
On orders of ¥5,000 or more, only ¥590 of the shipping is waived.
Unboxing
It arrived the very next day.
It had the “kizukai” sticker on it.
I slid off the box sleeve and opened it — here's what it looked like.
It's about the same size as a 2-liter bottle.
The only accessories were the user guide, a cable and lotion.
The dedicated Medusa sleeve was already set in the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS.
The sleeve came in a bag.
What comes in the box today
According to VORZE's official specs, it comes with:- User guide
- USB-C charging cable
- Smooth Lotion (50 ml)
- Dedicated sleeve (Medusa)
See my comparison of the dedicated sleeves.
The dedicated sleeve feels stickier than the A10 Piston SA's.
I get the feeling it'll wear out quickly…
I'd been using the A10 Piston SA for a long time, so this felt really small.

Other Online Stores That Sell the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS
Amazon Japan
Amazon Japan wasn't the cheapest when I compared (February 2023).
| NLS | Amazon Japan | Rakuten | FANZA |
| ¥32,890 | ¥35,000 | Not sold | ¥44,200 |
Buying on Amazon Japan cost more, so I don't recommend it (the table shows the prices from when I compared).
As of September 25, 2026, Amazon Japan showed the unit on its own as out of stock, with no restock planned.
The only listing was a bundle with a VR headset and other items (¥49,800 + ¥472 shipping).
It was sold by a third-party seller, not by Amazon itself.
Compare the unit alone and bundles separately.
The risk of your family finding out is higher, too.
I explain what to watch out for on Amazon Japan in this article:

Rakuten
Rakuten didn't sell the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS itself (as of 2022).
Only sleeves for the old A10 Cyclone were sold there (as of September 2026, Rakuten's listing for the old A10 Cyclone R-1 shows it as no longer carried).
Rakuma, Rakuten's flea-market app, had used ones, but I don't recommend them because of the STI risk.
On September 25, 2026, a Rakuten search showed 0 results when I wasn't logged in.
Adult products aren't shown until you verify your age, so this alone doesn't mean it isn't sold there.
Check whether the unit is listed after verifying your age.
Also, Rakuma doesn't allow listings of adult goods such as strokers.
My roundup of the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS on Rakuten is here:
M's (Otona no Department Store M's)
When I wrote this, M's, a Japanese adult-toy chain, sold it for the same price as NLS.
I couldn't confirm M's current price on its official site (September 25, 2026).
So “the same price as NLS” above no longer works as a comparison.
Check M's price before you buy and compare it with NLS.
Unlike NLS, M's didn't offer convenience-store pickup (as of 2022).
M's didn't sell the holder for the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS (as of 2022).
It may be sold in their physical stores, which is a plus if you'd rather buy in person.
In-store prices are a little higher than online.
There are also fewer reviews to help you choose, so this site recommends NLS.
What about FANZA (DMM)?
FANZA (Japan's big adult video store) sometimes sells it too, but it's pricier, so I don't recommend it (as of 2022–2023).
It's sometimes discounted, but even then it cost more than NLS.
Back then, FANZA's dedicated sleeves also cost more than NLS's.
Dedicated sleeves can actually be cheaper at FANZA.
On September 25, 2026, the Oral sleeve was ¥2,717 at FANZA and ¥2,750 at NLS.
Can You Buy the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS in a Physical Store?
Don Quijote
The Don Quijote (a big Japanese discount chain) I visited in eastern Saitama didn't carry the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS.
It was a weekday afternoon, so nobody was there, but it gets busy at night, so be careful.
The adult corner was a tiny space, about four tatami mats (roughly 6.5 m²).
Someone on X said Don Quijote sold it, but there's no telling whether that was the old A10 Cyclone.
And it's old information from 2019.
If Don Quijote sold it, word would have spread much more, so it probably isn't sold there.
The A10 Cyclone SA PLUS is made in fairly small numbers, so there probably isn't enough to go around.
I think it goes to the big adult-goods online stores and dedicated shops.
Adult-goods shops in Akihabara
You can also buy it in Akihabara, Tokyo.
M's Akihabara store seems to sell it in person (as of 2022).
But many shops there charge more, so be careful.
Adult-goods shops
Some shops sell it in store.
You won't know for sure whether they have it until you go.
Calling ahead is the surest way, though they might find it a nuisance.
Physical shops often don't sell the holder.
The upside is that you can pick it up and see how it feels in your hand.
Stock is limited to begin with, so it's unlikely to reach every adult shop.
Chances are they won't have it.
Adult-goods shops in eastern Saitama
I went to check whether my local adult shop carried the A10 Cyclone SA PLUS, but it didn't.
