FarEast Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Ok guys just noticed the story on the front page of the site regarding Echigoya's new international ordering pages, I have to say the Echigoya is probably one of the best Airsoft shops in Akihabara Japan, if not the whole of Japan it's self. The prices are awesome at the moment with around 30-40% off all Tokyo Marui guns and parts. There upgrade service is professional and very well done, this is through personal experience (All but 1 of my guns was bought and upgraded there). So if your worried about thier credentials don't fear they are a very trustworthy company and if you have any problems with them I'd be willing to go down and fight your corner for you!

Magsz Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hiya! Im always excited whenever i see hong kong retailers or japanese retailers opening their arms to international business. I cant wait to see what their prices are going to be like. Hopefully they will accept credit/debit cards unlike WGC and most other retailers which have extremely small daily charge limits.

oikoik Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 that sounds like a recommendation to me! yeah, its rare that japanese businesses would open up to western or global orders, so this is very cool news. the only shame is that it comes now and maybe too late for me to take advantage of..

Catchv22 Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I too have been to their shop and it was nice. I didn't end up buying anything although after a few tries in broken Japanese, I did get to hold a Hudson M14 model gun. Just don't bother with H&K/Taiwan manufacturers there, as they're imported to there are a higher cost. Imagine a G&P midcap costing more than a standard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psaldorn Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Their "Gamer" packs look like great value, sanyo battery, charger, discharger, BBs, bottle and Hi-cap for an extra £44 If you dont get held up by Customs then it seems like a mega-bargain G36c with all the gubbins to start for £155. Just the gun stock is at least £175. Not too keen on ordering from abroad though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not too keen on ordering from abroad though <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes thier starter packs are great! they also do an upgrade offer as well, i got my M4-S System upgraded to 96m/s plus the exrtas still under the recommended retail price. As for beating customs you should ask Echigoya to mark it as either a gift or a sample to beat having to pay customs Also the Japanese postal system is simply excellent its the UK end you want to worry about!

18Bravo Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 I've just bought the new WA Marsoc from them its not arrived yet but the whole order process was painless enough I will buy from them again I think as they stock a few more rare parts than the HK shops.

But let us know how it goes and when you get your kit....if there are any problems let me know as they know me in there. Edited June 19, 2005 by FarEast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 They have a very small range of products on their international site compared to the bigger HK retailers, its a shame as im sure they could put up very rare and interesting parts if they wanted too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Looks like today they posted something up regarding international orders, im really considering ordering from these guys for parts for my custom gearbox build.

AirsoftEngineer Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 How much would shipping be to the UK, roughly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rbx6jm7man Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 if i was interested in one of their custom guns, like their aeg mg42.... how would i go about purchasing that? it isn't on their english page Quote Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 You should ask Shane: sales@echigoyaint.com, Although he was just here in California this weekend for ASHbash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 What kinda dinero do you think that would run. Does Echigoya have any other kinda of custom guns we arent aware of in the US, i tried to navigate the japanese site but no luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 have you guys been going to the english page? http://www.echigoyaint.com/englishmain.html It's out of date compared to the japanese site, but a good place for you guys to ask the cost q's and such.
