Problem. I go to the Butterfly Online Shop, first thing it asks for is the country. And mine isn't listed! No other nearby country, either! I tried selecting "U.S.A.", but then the Amicus isn't even listed under Robots. So I can't even get an idea of what one costs.

When I got my Amicus Pro (now called their
Basic model) in 2012, Bowie Martin of Butterfly USA told me that he had no plans to sell the Amicus line. At the time, he wasn't even aware they had come out with a 3-wheel version. Butterfly USA sells the SuperPong robot and apparently they are satisfied with their sales/profits from that model.
If you want to get one, call Butterfly USA up and request they order one from Europe for you. That's how I got mine. Or perhaps an easier way would be to call Attila Malek up at Power Pong and order one from him. His PowerPong robots are re-branded Amicus robots.
Also if price is a concern, you might consider calling Newgy up and seeing if they have any Reconditioned units available. These are units that have been returned to us under our 30-day money back guarantee and have been throughly reconditioned and which carry the same guarantee/warranty/service policy as a new unit.
Regarding Chinese units like the Huipang--don't forget to consider the serviceability of such robots. They don't have a service center in the US so all repairs/service will have to be from China. And cheaper robots from off-brand companies like this tend to have a greater incidence of repairs/service issues.
