The Infamous AGD Gun Case- Will You Buy It????

[AGD]

AO,

There have been requests recently about bringing back the famous (well now it's famous) AGD Gun Case. We got it because it made more sense to us to put your whole marker in the case in one piece. The trend went toward taking everything off and putting it in a backpack. I don't know where it's going now but your asking for them. Well here is a pic and I got a price. IF we can pre-sell fifty of them we can sell them for 95 bucks, if our price is still close to the same. Before I jump through hoops how many people will absolutely buy one? I am using this as a test for the Z-Grips, you say 50 and you buy fifty we are going places.

The interior size is 27 x 12 1/2 by 6" deep. They are hard lined with a soft outer canvas shell and will fit a whole warp and rev on the gun as shown.

You want 'em?

I will buy one for $95.

P.S. Thanks again for the warp.
P.P.S. You're still invited to the Detroit meet at the end of the month. ;)

[DrEvil]

I like those, alot better than the overcrowded backpack Im using now.

[Paintchucker]

Let's see $95 bucks comes out to less than 10% of what I got in my gun, tank, etc. and keeps it from getting banged around. Sounds like a cheap insurance policy to me!

Sign me out for 1 please !!!

[Potatoboy]

Tom- Maybe you should edit your post that it holds 2 EMags with Warps, Revs, and Tanks attached! This case is a beast!

[Sir. Foxalot]

I think I could be pursuaded (sp?) to buy one of those:) . It realy depends when they go back up for sale cash is a little tight right now but Ya if I had the chance I would jump all over that!!!

[MajorDamage]

I'll buy one! Although I'd buy mine in like Febuary or March though. I think they could stand to be a little bit smaller though, I don't need to fit two markers. BUT THOSE ARE GREAT !!

ENDO!

[zads27]

Sorry, I honestly can't say that I'd go for one of those at 95 bucks.

Hey Tom, are these gonna be the old ones, or new runs?

Personally, I'd want a slimmed down version of that one. Maybe it's just the pictures, but the case looks pretty beefy for most people's setups.
I would want egg foam on all sides of the case, including the 'lid', to keep it all snug inside (and stop from moving around).
Cut it down in length so that you could just fit the marker and a close set tank in there (one instead of two).
Plus maybe some barrel pockets on the 'top' and 'bottom' sides of the emags, inside the case.

On second examination, you can put me down for 10 of those cases... IF they include two fade emags, two warps, and a revvy ;)

[adlar]

I'd be interested.
For those of you who think the price is a bit steep:

Compare the price of these to the Planet gear bags at $99.99, or the Extreme Rage gear bags at $159.95 at paintballgear.com.

[Dragoon]

I would prefer something a little more square that would hold a single mag with tank, warp, and revy. As already mentioned, integrated barrel holders would be great as well.

Guys,

We're not going to be designing a new case here. This is going to be a limited run of these cases to see if people really want them like they say they do. Chances are they won't even sell 50 of them so it's a lost cause. If they sell like hotcakes, then I could see there being some changes in design or different versions of the case, but there's no sense in trying to design a new case and then only getting 25 orders for them...

Put me down for one.

[Manuel_FZR]

I think, it should hold only one marker (with all the equipment like Revy, Warp, Nitro ... ).
If I get a new marker, it gets it´s own case. ;) If I will take two marker to my field, I will carry the two cases! A good thing would be, if the foam would be like in the pelikan cases a "cubed cell" foam.


original from LouisV in the pictures thread:
... The Pelican case comes with 2 layers of "cubed cell" foam, a final bottom layer and a top "egg crate" style foam; therefore 4 layers of protection. The "cubed cell" foam is a series of rectangular shaped "cubes" that are perforated together. It allows you to "pick and pluck" the desired shape of the cutouts. I traced all my equip on paper and cut them out, then tooth picked the paper templates in place and began to "pluck" the little cubes out. I constantly double checked durring the process to avoid mistakes. Once I was done I sprayed 3M glue adhesive in between the 2 layers of "cubed" foam so they wouldn't come apart nor shift in transit.


here (http://home.earthlink.net/~lvazquez/case2.jpg) is a pic of LouisV´s Mag and case ...

If this would be, I definitely would buy one, and only this one ... for my milled Xtreme ;)

[DiRTyBuNNy]

you can count me out..too big and too 'spensive...

[masterninja]

Yes, I'd love one of those, The only thing I haven't liked about my warp was that my gun wouldn't fit in a bag anymore. But, hey built in stand, right?

[damageinc54]

95.00 is too much for that case. I only paid 124.00 for my Pelican 1600 from cases4less.com. It is much bigger and has the pick and pluck foam to custom fit my gear. It is the same case in the pic from louis.

[ThePatriot]

I dont have 95 bucks so i cant really get it, i need to save some money for those AO jersies and the Z grip, and i dont think i would spend 95 on a case no matter how nice it was...my sport duffel bag thingy does just fine for me

[Shaft]

For $95 - No, I'd want more features at that price
For $50 - Sure, sign me up.

Worry not about these things... I'm waiting patiently for that Z-grip still.

[alf]

are the zipper "fobs" big enough to run a small lock through? if not, can bigger zippers be used for this run?

black already said that a redesign wasnt going to happen, but maybe bigger zippers are an option.

lockable case: yes, sign me up
unlockable: no, ill wait

-alf

[Daniel Morse]

sounds like way too much money to me. :p :D :) :p :eek: :confused:

[datapimp69]

count me in for 1

would you add a E-Mag patch like the classic and mini mag patches ??

[shartley]

I agree with the “too much money” folks. It is not a bad case, but when compared to other options, it is just not worth that amount of money in my opinion.

Reasons:

As damageinc54 brings up:
95.00 is too much for that case. I only paid 124.00 for my Pelican 1600Very valid point. $30 more for a nicer case… no hesitation on my part. You are already planning to spend roughly $100 anyway on a case, make the better investment by adding the relatively low (in comparison) extra cash and get the Pelican. This seems like a no-brainer to me.

As Shaft stated:
For $95 - No, I'd want more features at that price
For $50 - Sure, sign me up.I agree. For the $50 it would be worth it. But unfortunately I would bet that at that price it would not be worth AGD bringing it back to life. Personally I know of several fantastic (and SLICK looking) footlockers that fall in the same $50 price range and they are “armored” and lock (both with standard built-in lock and your own lock). And foam inserts are too easy to get a hold of to even worry about.

Again, this is just my opinion. Each consumer must make that determination for themselves.

I understand the interest this generated, but I feel that those who “would” buy it would do so simply because it was from AGD.. which in itself is not a BAD thing, just not what I would do. I prefer to shop around for the best bang for my buck.. and I just don’t think this would be it. And after all this is not a bad thing either, this is a CASE not the Markers….. shoot AGD, tote and store someone else….. should not be that big of a deal.

It would be fantastic if AGD and Pelican could “hook up”… maybe offer them at reduced prices for AGD consumers? ;) Ahhh In a perfect world.

[cledford]

Count me in...

Great idea!
And with a AGD logo ... for this, I would pay 130$ ;)

[TITAN]

id buy one whenever i get money

[ronron2112]

damn, i wish i had the $95 and didnt just put it in the bank... they're really nice

[LaW]

Depending on the price yeah I'd love one :)

[Restola]

i will not buy one. nothing will make me give up my giant plastic tub

[Butterfingers]

Giant plastic tubs cost 8 dollars in wal mart.

[Phil]

Ditto Shartley's post. I would buy the pelican and stick your free AGD stickers there abouts.

[Tom Sparkman]

I have one that I bought years ago for my Automag and I'm currently using it for my Angel. I really like it an would definitely want another for an Extreme (hopefully the Ex will come out by the time my tax refund gets here).

As for plastic tubs, I've already got 7 of them plus other containers full of equipment - I sure wouldn't want to just toss my 'babies' into one of these. :)

Tom

[datapimp69]

ronron,

you know that when you put money IN the BANK the do let you take it back OUT

hehe....

[davej946]

Hey Tom,
I was in contact with Sqweezer a while back about getting one. So that would be a 'Yes Tom, I would buy an AGD Gun Case for $95, maybe two'

Thanks,

[LaW]

to change my opinion for 95 yes I'd buy one

[ChrisRT]

Tom when are the zgrips coming out, I would love to buy one with the capability for intellifeed. Sorry don't want the case I will keep my redz bag

[FaSSt]

Eithe rmake it longer so that it fits my backup gun as well, or sell it as is for $45.

[LaW]

he put that it would be 95 dollars and in limited amounts...45 is way too low

[Snooky]

Well tom i asked for it and you made it happen so count me in for one. With those bags i wouldn't need to carry more than just this one bag.

[AGD]

Looks like about 10 people are takers.

AGD

[Potatoboy]

About 1/5 of what it would take to get one...
Looks like the "nays" have it huh Tom.

:(

[Snooky]

Ok tom just send me one and ill bring it to the local stores and fields and people will be like OMG who makes that awesome case and ill sell um and give them the address. Its a 95 dollar investment u cant go wrong.

[Camo]

This post died a long time ago but I thought I would mention that I would love to buy one if you still have any. I have been looking all over for the AGD case but I only found one on the Euro site. I don't know if this will get back to you since it was posted so long ago but I thought I would give it a try. I want something to put my newly constructed mork of art minimag in. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know if I can still get my hands on one.

its koo no doubt but not worth 95 bucks if it cant hold my goggles. right now im usin my 20 dollar k-mart camo backpack that holds everything xcept my harness and paint. so im gonna stick to my 20dollar back pack just my .02

peace

[mykroft]

I missed this one the first time through. This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I'll probably end up with the Planet roller case though, tehy're sold locally. If it does go back into production, I'll order one.

[SHAG]

Hi,

If I didn't already own one, I would say yes. Personally, don't do another run since they are rare already.

People the price of 95 is good considering AGD once sold them at $125 or 130 a few years ago. I bought myine on E bay for $85 shipped. So $95 is a very nice price forthe case.

[Kaiser Bob]

I got mine from an automag package on ebay, it also came with a BOA concealer, so i guess I got 2 collectables in 1 :). Its actually too small for my gear since i also have alot of tools and odds and ends, so i may end up getting on of those HUGE redz bags to put all my stuff in. But im definitely keeping my case because its neat :)

[irbodden]

I used to have one, and everyone was like "dude your hardcore I wish I could be you! Killer case man! I'll give you 10 trillion bucks for it!" at the Chicago AGD meet..

[845]

If I buy this i cant afford the i-z. Also I am saving for an Xtreme Emag by IAO.

[petefol]

id buy one if i wasnt saving up for the lvl 10 and intelli-z

[Cliffio]

i will not buy one, i need something bigger, something with wheels, something that can hold mask,gun,freak kit,tank,pack,case of paint

:)


Cliff

you all think im joking

[aut911]

um, i think i could fit one of my friends brothers in that thing.

in fact on one occasion in a trourny, i wanted to go luke skywalker style and wear him in a backpack like yoda, but i didnt have a strong enough one.

aut

[ChuckWag78]

I'd take one for $95. Unless the Intelli Z came out around the same time b/c I'm saving up for that. I'm SO BROKE! Really nice bag though

[slushee]

well it seems that you don't have enough ppl to actually make the run Tom, but I will definatly buy one.

I have so many patches and nothing to put them on! That, and i just got my lvl 10 so now i need something else to spend money on .. and the bag i'm using now does more damage to my mag then good!

anyhow, if anyone has one to sell, email me straight away, and if any are made .. i will be first in line.

regards..

[Top Secret]

<--- Will buy one

[liigod]

i wouldnt pay that much for a bag...

[Tack]

I am interested in one. My only problem is that I usually carry 3 markers. My E-Mag, Angel and Retro-Mag. With the size and depth I don't think it will be an issue.

[Steve Crush]

i already have one :)

steve

[rhetor22]

NO!

:)

[scrambler]

well 95 is a little much, bought mine at lowes for 18 on sale now 24, and cut the inside out to my liking and put agd sticker on it its also hard shell and lockable..pic

[Jonno06]

ive been looking for a nice gear back/thingy.....

i wouldnt buy one right NOW...cause im getting LX...but yes,i would buy one....eventually

[nuclear zombie]

how old are the original agd bags , I have a friend selling me one in brand new condition. Just curious as to how old it is , what they originally sold for , and if $90 is a fair price for this case ?

if anyone sees or answers to this i would be very happy .

later
nuke

[Splathappy]

Ya i would buy one in whatever form they come in (some one mentioned a Pelican case that sounds cool) ... it would be nice to put my marker in somthing to take to the local store without haveing to lug my big gear box around.

[Hobbs]

yeah, i'd be up for buying one. Is there any chance that it might still be a possibility?
