I dunno.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
I've been a WA man for a loooong time- However that was primarily because they were the best visually as well as functionally- They had the best trade marks, a larger production run and more reliable than the Tanakas, and the models and versions that I wanted. But that was in the days before they made metal slides and frames, or before they started making full metal guns right out of the box! Now you can pretty much get any popular handgun in a full metal body with upgradeable parts and they are increasingly well-built as well! I mean even KSC is pretty much offering full metal in their whole line- So, with all the complaints I read about the newer fixed-hop models from WA, what the heck are they thinking with $300+ ABS guns?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Maybe they need a bailout...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) -------------------- "Objects in Mirror" ...are behind you! |

They do need more SVI's. They need to bring back the IED and start making the TiKi just to start.
I'll start looking at other companies' 1911's when they start making them as realistic, as simple and/or as robust as the WA's. So far nothing comes close. $300 is a lot to pay, especially for me because I typically spend about $1k on my 1911's and the only WA parts I keep end up being the plunger w/ plunger tube and spring, firing pin spring, BB chamber, safeties and inner barrel assembly; but it's still the best.

Wow, $323 is a lot, especially from a Hong Kong webshop. WGC TRIES to match HK street prices a lot of the time too. All told, that'll be close to $400 shipped to some places. Wonder what the US shops might carry it for?

That price for all intents and purposes is outrageous. Why did the price jump 70 dollars, is it the HW slide?

The exchange rate with the yen must have something to do with it... The switch from ABS to heavyweight can't cost that much. Back in the day when airsoft makers used to offer two flavors of the same gun (ABS and Heavyweight editions), the price difference was maybe 2,000 yen. Or... Western Arms is trying to recoup the losses on guns like the Mini UZI by charging a brickload of cash for a gun everyone has been drooling over. -------------------- www.collectorairsoft.com THE source for hard to find and out of production airsoft guns

Agreed on the IED's and the TiKi! On the second part, Ive owned WA's since the turn of the century- lol and I'd agree completely if not for the TM 1911's Slainte! -------------------- "Objects in Mirror" ...are behind you! |

QUOTE (darryl zero @ Mar 27 2009, 03:09 AM) The exchange rate with the yen must have something to do with it. I'd guess it was that. I was looking at the price of TM AEGs on japanese sites yesterday, a TM MC51 which last summer would have been about £80 in japan now converts out to £180 with the fall in currency! Not sure how HKD has fared against the JPY but it must have dropped a fair bit with all the price increases that are showing, doesn't seem to be a case of the manufacturer/retailer whacking prices up for the fun of it anyway. -------------------- QUOTE (GuzziHero) Well, I cant see a customs person really going "Oh dear, that looks like a banana mag and its not an AK mag... CALL THE UMAREX HOTLINE!"...somewhere in germany, a lawyer picks up a red flashing plastic phone, V1s are launched at your house...etc etc  |
