TheKurodaVagrant Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 All I have to say is: That lucky ######! I'd love to have a loadout like that. It's just too rich for my blood, though. Unless I want to postpone my college education... Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtrot Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Alright here's the story behind this carrier. I know it, because I know who's it was orignally. As said - it was a guy from Irene III. He orignally had it out at Northern Wind II. His name, Nick Maas. He is/was/claims to be a US Army Ranger, and apparently on the side trains LE SWAT teams. He goes by BlackOmega~Whisper. After Irene III, this vest was E-bay'ed starting bid was 2500$. There were 2 of these vest's produced - some how Nick got one, and the guy on MM/LE got the other. They were both prototypes, but they will be out soon enough to buy. (I beleive, the price tag was in the 500~ish dollar range.) How do I know this? I've played with/against Nick Maas a few times, trained with him for Irene III as well. Decent guy, but some times takes things lil too seriously. Link to post Share on other sites

DarkLite Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I don't really take offense at this, apart from the astronomical waste of money. His money, fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites
TheGambler Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 In the end of the day its not exactly worth arguing about, if he wants to buy this gear then so be it, if anyone else can get theres hands on the gears and wants to pay that amount on it then so be it, if you just don't want it so be it...its just down to the individual. Now lets group hug Link to post Share on other sites

TheGambler Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 How do you know this fluffly bum ain't shaved, we seem to have gone off track abit Seeing that i'm pretty new to all of this i didn't know certain thing meant so much to some people, does it it really bother alot of you that he spent that much...in all honesty it down to him and if he fancies wearing $2500 worth of kit then its up to him. No one dictates what we wear do they ?? Just my 2 pence worth, not worth much but worth enough Link to post Share on other sites
Purity Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well maybe its just the good 'ol jealousy. "If I had that much money, Id use it way better" I wouldnt spend that much, either tbh but if it makes him happy Link to post Share on other sites

nobody Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Personally i think that vest looks the *beep*. As for the amount it cost, i guess you hvae to put it in context. At the moment there are only 2 of these floating around on the market, 2. If you are into your gear and had $2500 you would get one if you had the opportunity. Even though when it goes into mass production and loads of people pick one up for a 1/5 of the cost you are going to be walking around in the orginial one. Now, say *insert airsoft manufacturer here* released an FN SCAR or F2000 but there were only 2 of them around there is no question that someone would pay $2500 for it. Probably more. Personally, im looking forward to when guarder make a cheap kockoff of this. Link to post Share on other sites
MORGUE Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Again Crye makes me cry.... price is steep because production is minimal at the moment. That being said the multicam pattern is f'n horny. We use it here all the time and it performs flawlessly. Crye is also very strict on quality control, thus you are getting a serious piece of kit, should you choose to spend the $$$... PS - this is my virgin post on these boards so hello from Canada...

Sledge Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 It costs more, therefore is CLEARLY better. Perhaps it has fewer visible seam lines? Link to post Share on other sites

Haji Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 $500 for the vest WITH ballistic inserts? No. That's the carrier only. The least expensive level IIIa panels we carry are still over $900, and they're a good bit less than most of the others. That said, is this carrier worth $500? Hell no. Single stitching doesn't last over the long haul. The Bongwater gear is made by Uncle Mikes-they're not known for their quality in the gear world. I've seen Blackomega "train" at a couple of Ops. I guess its meant to intimidate the opposing players. My boys wernt skeerd. Nick apparently has a really high paying job. He's got a lot of expensive gear. Whatever makes you happy. Geardoism is about cool toys. There is no such thing as spending too much on gear. Never. That someone may not have as much to spend on gear as someone else is irrelevant. What is relevant is more and better gear. Always and forever. Link to post Share on other sites
