NonEx Posted August 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 What hitman said on the selling points. Full metal, full travel, licensed markings also, and big nozzle for big boom No word on CO2 mags that I have seen on Instagram or Facebook. Only black and chrome for now but people are of course requesting a gold one EDIT: Wait, this isn't the Desert Eagle thread. for fukks sake man http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/216681-we-desert-eagle/ Link to post Share on other sites
The Disavowed Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 My bad, I get easily sidetracked and go so far off topic sometimes I feel like I should turn up on lost, especially when I get excited over something, like the Weagle. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Notice the rather large disparity in price between the color models? Understandably WE's plated finish has always been more expensive, but never by this much. I'm guessing that extra padding is Cybergun's licensing take banking on the thought that more people will buy silver because shiny. So one way to stick it to them is to buy the black one instead.

blobface Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 So one way to stick it to them is to buy the black one instead. Or only buy from Taiwan companies, what I've found with these licensed stuff is that the price is significantly lower when bought direct from them, like the FNX45 was $225 (still is on Redwolf), but the Taiwan price is $155, feels almost as if it's dealt straight from the factories.

renegadecow Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Even lower in some cases. I remember spotting one of those for around $110. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 They'd shift them a hell of a lot quicker at $110. I'd certainly jump off the fence for one at that price. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I am actually a bit surprised that the price is not higher considering Cyberguns involvement. I can't be sure but I am fairly certain that when KY Airsoft announced the first round of pre-orders for this, it was the same pricing and IIRC that was before Cybergun was on board. Because the early preview pics did not have full markings, right? All things considered, compared to other recent WE pistol releases, the size and amount of angles / cuts and what not I think it is reasonably priced. Compared to a TM + Guarder aluminum kit or a sub-par (IMO) looking/feeling KWC with plastic lower and metal slide. Dangit, still not the Desert Eagle thread Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 From KY: "Basically DE .50 is awaiting for Cybergun license before we can start sending them out and limited QTY left on stock." https://www.facebook.com/kyairsoftgun/videos/1441378235940738/ ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 They said that like two weeks ago as well. Looks sick though Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 So how do we sum up this topic and discussion? I suppose it is no longer a conspiracy theory in regards to the WEagle and Thompson but more a question of how much Cybergun will control WE releases and licensing in the future?

The Disavowed Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hopefully without some sort of stupid licensed by rubbish ruining it. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hopefully without some sort of stupid licensed by rubbish ruining it. No wall of text garbage, but if you want to be technical about it, the one they're making has the markings of a Mark XIX model but the gun itself is clearly a Mark VII.

CZFan Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Cybergun owns a lot of licenses. Last time I looked at them all it made me dizzy. The potential is astronomical. They have had decent success with using VFC as the manufacturer but the models they have put out have been less than a miniscule fraction of all that can be released. Also since VFC is only compatible with VFC, aftermarket is a huge issue which is killing sales... Since WE likes to copy marui, think about it.. full metal, properly trademarked marui clones for cheap? win win. Link to post Share on other sites
CZFan Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hopefully without some sort of stupid licensed by rubbish ruining it. only umarex and asg do that stupidity (and kwc but who cares about them). with umarex being the worst offender, which is why there is a distinct lack of anything umarex on my shelves.

The Disavowed Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I personally don't mind paying a bit extra to have the correct trademarks without them being bastardised in some way. But....in doing so I would also want my toy gun to live up to the trademark. I don't mean that I expect it to be flawless, but if I buy a car with a silver lady on it I expect it to at least work like a rolls Royce. The full travel slide on the Weagle is a perfect example, please make the dimensions correct to the real gun and not just made up close enough will do, and make it work pretty well, which I am positive that being WE it shall, and I will be a somewhat poorer but happy man.

renegadecow Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 And there's the rub: it's still not out despite already being in warehouses awaiting shipment because Cybergun says so. Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Wondering if there are legal problems / licensing issues or if they are just trying to build up hype to boost sales... WE are posting pics almost daily of the Weagle "Coming soon!!!" ... Getting old. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Either way. *Ubarflock*. Told you this new leaf was . Same old Cyberscum. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 For all we know they could be leveraging for a higher cut after seeing people's reactions to the teaser vids. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 Man, that would be a *rickroll* move. Even for cyberscum. Hopefully WE didn't enter into a contract where anything like that could happen. 'You're not allowed to release unless we get and extra x%' Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Oh? WE posted yet another teaser on FB today last I saw. Nothing on it actually being out. https://www.facebook.com/weairsoft/posts/1727228393967928 Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 A few hours before that they posted "available now". If you click the KY link it's changed to "add to cart" from "pre-order". Link to post Share on other sites
