Hot damn those Alpacas.
Edited:
Holy shit that EO tech was $15? That's insaaaane.
I want an Alpaca now god damn. They're fucking cuddle muffins, look at those smug motherfuckers.
-
Do those alpacas attach to standard 20mm rail.
-
Do they take regular batteries or do I need to buy those damn CR123's?
Also buy me one please Taiwan
Edited:
Taiwan pretty please? I'll wire you the money right now.
-
will you have another oppurtunity to get another eotech?
Edited:

-
I think it would be nice of you Taiwan to get me a SpecterDR. :3
-
EoTech Alpaca
-
I think it would be nice if you got me a C79 Tai C:
-
the red/orange one looks like fire camo from mgs3

That reminds me that I need to get some orange camo... for reasons.

MEGAREPLY TO EVERYONE BECAUSE THIS COMPUTER IS SLOW AS SHIT AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING
That gear store with all the BDUs and whatnot was actually pretty fucking expensive. None of that was Chinashit, all of it was the legit stuff. A multicam jacket was $260 USD. A flecktarn jacket was $170.
That giantass airsoft store, War Mart, that sells everything for really cheap, is unfortunately closed at the moment because its owner went to China to do business. BDUs there, including Taiwan ERDL and Multicam, are all sold at the flat rate of $20 USD for a set.
The EoTech I bought was considered the "entry level", and was advertised as easier to use for small children. That's why it lacked trades and was so cheap, apparently. The people that run Gunheaven are really special. They seem to charge things according what THEY think the price should be and what THEY think it would be the easiest to sell en masse and make the biggest profits.
The Taiwanese airsoft community is always trying to get more players into the sport. There aren't the spectrums of airsoft like how we have in America (48% noob, 48% elitist, 1% nice people that want to help new players). Everyone in Taiwan's pretty accepting of everyone else. What really got me going back to Gunheaven (and why I will continue to return to buy things) wasn't the low prices, but the service.
The first time I went, a dad and his son went in to buy the son's 10th birthday present: his first gun. After browsing around for a good 15 minutes, the kid told the guy at sales that he picked out the one he wanted: it was a G&P M16 VN (it's normal for kids to have G&Ps as their first guns, as Crosman, Echo 1, JG, and Cybergun don't exist here). The dad went to pay for the gun, and I overheard the shopkeeper point out his worker's union card, and strike up a conversation about what the dad did for a living. He was a miner in the mountains in Central Taiwan, and was in Taipei to visit his parents. The sales man then said something along the lines of "Hey, times are tough..." and came out from behind the counter, took the kid to the gear section of the store, and picked out a set of Vietnam BDUs, a helmet, boots, and load bearing gear, and told the dad that he was only willing to charge him $5400 NT ($180 USD), and told the kid happy birthday.
G&P guns aren't cheap; it's saying something if an employee just wants to do this to make a dad and his kid's day. I saw that episode and I decided that I would be a return customer. Just for that act of kindness. I'm sure lots of others felt the same way. This story basically sums up the Taiwanese airsoft community in a nutshell.
Not sure if Code wants EoTech or Alpaca. I'm going to go ahead and guess he wants an Alpaca because he can just pull an EoTech out of his wallet.
That's something I'd be willing to do for you, after all you did for the subforum, but the easiest way for me to do it is buy a $5 flat rate shipping box when I get stateside and stuff everything I get for you (probably derpshit and velcro-backed Nazi flag patches and subdued Japanese Naval Ensigns) in there or something.
As for buying sights and airshit for everyone else, that's doable, but my mom might be like "why the fuck are you buying another EoTech you already have one" or "why are you buying two C79s? Is the other one for Jonathan Stokes? No? Put it back."
I'm only 15, afterall :C
-
multicam for 260 dollars holy RIP off
-
and over here in colorado my friend sent his FPG over to the airsoft store for them to fix and they lost the nozzle return springs and an important pin and basically stole $40
...i wish i was in taiwan
-
The Flecktarn for $170 is even worse.
-
but wow my heart is now warm
-
Yes please get me Alpaca thank you I love you
I also prefer Japan-Man stuff over Nazi stuff. c:
-
I won't be upset if you can't get me the SpecterDR.
Just try to get me a hooker at least.
-
Dads and Grads sale in Taiwan is buy one get one free. Makes sense, no?
Also, buy a C-more sight, get a TM Hicapa 50% off
-
actually ignore my earlier post as i want to see more before deciding on any one thing
-
If there is anyway you could get me this... (DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED I HAVE NO INTENT ON MAKING YOU DO THIS)
-
Hey taiwan...
I hate to bug you about this, but i could really, REALLY use an EoTech if you can get me one. If it's too much difficulty i understand, but i've been meaning to get one for a while and i'd really appreciate it.
Thanks either way man.
-
I'll see if my mom lets me bring back potentially over $100 worth of stuff that will only slowly get paid back to me for people all over the continent.
Mini L85 thing demonstration:
-
Well if you or your parents have a paypal, or the ability to set one up, I'll be happy to pay you while you're still over there if there's anything I really must have.
-
mini gun too cool
-
the only way i can really pay for things is paypal
-
I feel bad asking for stuff now =< You're too nice.
-
don't, i feel tempted to ask taiwanese for stuff too
-
Nvm, I dont really need it.

MEGAREPLY
Still unsure if my mom will let me buy lotsa things for other people who aren't school friends, my girlfriend, or Ender. She's a bit anal about how the airlines are very limiting in their regulations and whatnot, but like I've said time and time again, I'll do my best.
Miniature airplane capsules might not be possible anymore, because the kids here have moved on to these little toy guns after all these years, and these guns come in GIANT capsules like, 80% bigger than the tiny capsules those planes came in. I'll do my best to get little gifts for the really contributing, helping, and constructive members that have really helped the subforum grow. You guys know who you are.
I went ahead and bought one (two, actually, but the second was a repeat of the first and I'll probably end up giving it my classmate) of those grenade launcher gashapons. They're actually pretty cool.
Today's loot was real simple. Just a 4D Master F-15E Strike Eagle ($4.6 USD) and a pair of gashapon grenade launchers ($2 USD). Total of $6.6 USD.
-
Tai, you're fucking cool. (And I'm totally gonna buy you some useless shit when I go on my next vacation.)
-
Grenade launcher is the most badass thing ever fuuuuuckk
Edited:
take my money all of it
-
Can you cancel my two gashapon requests?
-
Sure!
-
Alright next time I go I hope it is still there, GBT is Gundam Base Taipei its a huge Gundam Model store that has the DVDs, Models, Kits, Magzines, Tools etc.
-
If you buy another one of the Gashapon guns that shoots, I would pay you for it and a little more to make it worth your while. I have a paypal too. Thank you and enjoy your trip!!!
-
If i get some money i'll see if you're still taking requests for the gachapon machines with the UM grenade launcher thingies
-
Also, everybody who wants a gashapon but doesn't want to bother our generous friend Taiprick, you can get the takara guns online: http://www.etradersplace.com/osc/adv...&Submit=Search

Gashapon total: $5.00 USD

Total: $24.6 USD
