Heck, shipping is the easy part. I mean, who cares if you have to spend $300 dollars on a freight train shipment. The harder part is how you transport a 1-tonne wooden crate meauring over six feet tall into your home? You literally need a forklift, and at least a cube van, and then a second forklift to bring it into your home. That's how they installed these in the arcades. And that's assuming it's all in working order too. On top of the $2000 you already spent.

The Dave and Busters near me has the SW Trilogy Arcade bench-seat model, so I figure dropping $2 a month there is better than the god-awful expense and headache of actually trying to buy, ship and install one of these in my home. It would simply be impossible. And forget it if there is even a single stair. These jumbo deluxe versions are simply unfit for residential use, unfortunately.
