Not saying I can try to pull this off, but -if- there's a substantial number, I'm gonna try to see if my HK contact can bring it in.
Edit: Minimum 10 @ approx HKD$3250 (approx JPY Y36,128 using today's exchange rates) + shipping.
Note: In Japan,
Fortress-web they're selling for Y56.500.
I'm very close to put my preorder on eHobby though, so I don't know if my counts lol ^^ (still voted).
Just want to make sure I have one whatever happens
(eHobby sells it for 450$, so obviously I'd prefer your deal).
Edit: goddamit!!! I was just waiting for tomorrow, but eHobby is already out of stock!!! This is f$ckin crazy!!!
This is a really nice idea, I'm hoping folks will offer thumbs up.
Its not a blowback right?
The gun will have G&P internals btw, so should be quite reliable.
Q, I placed a tentative order on WGC but I'm afraid they'll be out of stock too, I'll let you know either way.
I unfortunately doubt though that there will be 10 people willing to buy the Masada right away on TKO, although I'd fully support the cheaper price and bulk order, not sure if it's doable here
I bet if we contacted some of the Japanese teams that we could get 10. Or place the extras on yahoo auctions and make up the shipping and taxes difference. I am sure you would have no problems finding buyers for extras...and you would make a profit.
1: It's not blowback, just AEG
2: eHobby apparently [url=http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=184343&view=findpost&p=2352884]charges $98 for delivery[/ur]. I don't know what RW or WGC will charge
3: No one knows what internals it has actually. On the same thread above, people who have played with it says it looks like Ares but uncertain. But no one has mentioned G&P. Many months ago even Systema internals were mentioned.

I also ensure that I'll definetely buy one and give Q any help to do well at arrangement.
But for now I'm having the same care of Ycare, so I'll call for someone on Japanese teams who's willing to join this via mixi if in the case of lack of numbers
I thought I saw someone, who had the first model given to some resellers, posting that it was G&P, on Arnies, but anyway, we will see.
eHobby was asking 70$ for shipping this morning before it got out of stock, not 98. Maybe 98 for the US but not Japan. WGC never asked more than eHobby before, I don't see why they would now... (hopefully). I'll update you when they get back to me with shipping.
You're talking about
Scuffer on Arnies.
Edit: Actually start
here on the "Yes it's a Star/ARES", "No it's not a Star/ARES". "Yes it IS a Star/ARES", "but no it's NOT a Star/ARES" rant. I must say it's somewhat amusing
.
I'm going to need a favour from someone who's familiar with Japanese Import laws though!! Aside from getting certification letters on power, what are the rules/guidelines on bulk purchase? I'm curious what/how I can deal with receiving 10xACR's in one shot. Will customs think I'm running a business or something?
A friend of mine is an importer. I can ask him about it if you like.
Damn it's so sexy and I want it! But if it's not a blowback it's essentially just a pretty sawing machine how can they call them selfs PTS when there is not even slightes effort to make it close to realistic inthat department...
Well it's PTS, not PTW :-). Gotta remember, Recoil Shock is still pretty new, therefore not many parts and not that many adopters either! No not talking about old EBB style which is much older but also not that popular.
So in general AEG's (unfortunately??) are still the majority of the market here & the money makers.
But there has been talk of a GBB drop in kit coming out at some point. It was mentioned in one of the Arnies posts.
