Gigueand Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Howdy, I've read the reports of the KART (?) M-14 which is now in the Philippines, but I thought that this would be of note as well. "Matrix" M-14 @ Evike ( Pre-Order ETA : 1/1/2007 ) Matrix 2007 M14 Exact Replica. $199.99 USD.

evilliboba Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 $200? I'd rather spend the extra $130 and get a Marui. I hoped that it would be cheaper... Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 matrix, isn't that like evikes "homebrand"? or am i remembering this wrong? 200$ is indeed very steep... wonder if the are just rebranded KART M14s... on a side note, i just got an email in from gunner, saying his M14s will be DE M14s (double eagle?) the plot thickins...

Md0ggyd0g Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Really? In that case maybe I should just get a TM off trinity when I scrape the funds together. Link to post Share on other sites

DeathCarrot Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 With a $200 dollar price tag and the hit or miss of the Chinese CQ it seems it would be a better idea to save up a little longer and go with the TM. It's really a shame too I was planning to get one to help stave off my M14 lust till I could afford a TM. Link to post Share on other sites
absolut0 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I completly agree- at $200 it may be worth it to just go with the TM. hopefully that's just their guestimate and not the actual cost. If gunner's m14's are not the kart ones that were floating around, i have no idea what to expect. should be exciting either way tho Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 In england the cyma CM028 (s version as well) is around £95 and the marui AK is £170 so when you look at it that way, the $200 for a cheaper M14 compared to $340 for the marui, that is roughly the right price for the cheaper version. Roughly saving 40 percent on the cheaper china airsoft versions of popular AEG's. But remember you also get a cheap batt and charger not that there great but my one for the cyma 028s still works fine. Link to post Share on other sites
n00bTard Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Evike's prices are horrible. As soon as a few more stores start getting this in, and using the actual brand name instead of Evike's "Matrix" rebrand, I can almost guarantee this will be anywhere from 30$ to 60$ cheaper. Evike is just doing what he always does - get it first and sell it high for as long as he can. Link to post Share on other sites
Erestheux Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Evike sucks, why don't we just wait to see what other retailers who don't rebrand it "teh matricks" sell it for? $200 is way too much for one of these though... Link to post Share on other sites
Diego4112 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I tend to agree... Unfortunately, unless our airsoft "Sir Galahad" (Gunner) manages to settle the price to some reasonable figure, I believe 200 bucks will be prohibitive to most purchasers, without even considering the shipment/handling fees (for us who live at the far end of the world). Gunner.... you´re our last hope! Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Gunner has them for $125. Rejoice! Link to post Share on other sites
