So excited about what Alien has to offer the spool valve market place!

Alien has set the bar very high in reguards to smoothness...my ND is just as smooth as any spool valve out there.

Consider it sold jack. I would love to be in on the first batch when ever that may be!

Brings to mind the 007 theme song from "They Spy Who Loved Me"
Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best

That song was from 1977 so perhaps some won't recognize it or appreciate Carly Simon, but ...

As soon as we have all the features for everyone - and get it priced (nothing on $ now - so if you ask that will be the answer) then we will start to take deposits. As usual we will offer the lowest serial numbers to the first that order starting about 003 or 005.
We usually have about 10% request a deposit refund because it takes longer than we think - but that's OK too. I understand that most just want to play paintball and waiting can get old. Have to add that the Invasion is great gun at a too low a price.

Invasion took crazy longer, but this time I'm confident we we be more timely. We are still a few weeks to that point.

asfaraslogic · 06-05-2012, 03:44 PM

I would like to put my name on either the lowest serial number, or 007... so consider me in, you know I got your back.
now if you ever decide to sell that prototype invasion that didn't make the cut.....

Tek2974 · 06-06-2012, 12:10 PM

If we're doing serial dibs I want 013 in black/red, just let me know the price

asfaraslogic · 06-06-2012, 01:11 PM

Damn I didn't think about 013

spypaintball · 06-06-2012, 02:43 PM

I disagree, oled is for fanboys who don't know how to read an instruction book. All oled does is jack up the price another $100 and add more complications to design. Set your marker to 12.5bps semi or your psp ramping and leave it be. You don't need to tweak your dwell every time you hit the field.

l1ryan1l · 06-11-2012, 03:20 PM

OLED is for people like who me who constantly switch between different modes and do so on the fly, (semi-15, semi uncapped, psp 12.5) and cant afford penalties in tournies because i miscounted a blink or two.... it also makes tuning much easier/faster... and there's no more complications in the design with OLED.... so i dont mind paying the extra $100 or so for it... besides im sure like always, jack will release two versions, one with LED and one with OLED.

Don't bash an option or it's users just because you dont understand or have the need to exercise the full use and purpose of said option, that's what we call, bigotry

Note he said he disagreed. Let's go with he understood - just doesn't feel the need for it.
Disagree without be disagreeable
and yes it will be optional.

MstrKey · 06-11-2012, 03:39 PM

When I was younger and had more time to dedicate to paintball, I didn't need the OLED. I still don't but...it sure is nice to have now that I pretty much just grab my gear and run if and when the chance to play comes around. OLED optional is the best choice.

insixdays777 · 06-11-2012, 03:56 PM

I dont count blinking lights. I will take one with an OLED!

TOS Bravo · 06-11-2012, 06:17 PM

So Jack, you ARE taking preorders or no?

Well I haven't yet - because I don't have the final price - we are thinking the cost for us to make this first run will be a bit more than the Invasion, first run is always more, so price reasonably close to Invasion, OLED adds $100

Cash flow is always great - so if somebody wants to make sure their guns gets shipped the first day we release - or really wants a certain number I would be happy to start a preorder list (which for me is a clipboard by the desk phone

). $500 down and the balance when we ship.

We usually run the first 20 or so Black so lowest numbers are all black - but I talked to the shop and maybe, and only maybe, they will take some out of sequence - but it's $50 to get your number and your color and your color has to be a color we running anyway.

Thanks

true, but it probably could have been put in a nicer way

very true - just didn't want to see anything flame up

As far as LED's because I'm using more Virtue now than Hater I have 4 that I can think of that I have to program - so I do see how OLED is a good thing - just that I only play semi and wouldn't have the need to switch.
However Virtue has 2 positions on their board so "with the flip of a switch" - done.
