New SP LUXE

[WingMan13]

SP now has a subsidiary called DLX Technology. Not sure if I'm allowed to post the press release on here, but you can find it out there. Some pics for now.

Why the tiny speaker under the grip panel? Is it compatible with an I-pod?

[WingMan13]

Actually the gun talks, in several languages. But I like your idea better!

The friggin gun TALKS? What in the Hell does it say? ...Hmmmm...possibilities...I wonder if I could get it to curse in French? Maybe get it to swear & taunt my opponent like a drunken Scottish Highlander?

"...ahy, is thaht theh best ewh got, yeh bleedin Wankarrr!!!" "...ahy, yeerr mothers got a wee liddle peckar, yeh bleedin Wankarrr!!!" "ahy, theh ferst & Onleh James Bond was a Bloody Scottsman! Yeh Bleedin English Wankarrr!!!!"

I crack myself up...

looks nice, but judging from every smart parts gun I've seen or owned, it's not.

I think Daze over at MCB summed it up pretty well:

Am I the only one that thinks the milling looks almost exactly like the newer Matrixes?

So it works like a shocker, with a grip like the mini, no lpr like the PMR*, bolt/valve=out-the-back like an automag, and looks like a Matrix. Did I miss anything?

* - forgive me if there is an earlier electro-spooler without an lpr, its the earliest I can think of

Now the price tag is rediculous. The only thing 'new' that I'm seeing here is that the baord 'talks' to you. Now thats kinda cool but not really all that practical. $1500 would probably be a fair price, in 1999. Anymore though it's just not worth it buy new. Heck and 07 EGO that was 1200+ last year I've seen floating around for $600-700, and its been less than a year! The only 3 makes that I've seen holding value over the last couple years are AKA markers, Macdev markers, and AGD markers.

That and SP doesn't have a track record for QC - although to their credit it HAS gotten ebtter over the last year. That said. IF I could find one of these at about $700 I MIGHT try one only so it can talk to me and tell me off. I'd have to know that they weren't using velveeta grade aluminum anymore though. I'd have a real hard time purchasing this over a Droid or an A1 if I was in the high end 'new' market.

No Offense, Yeh Bleedin English Wankerrr!


So what is the proposed price tag on this new jewel from SP. Lookin at the picks, I would guess in the Proto Rail range of $300ish?
(I heard 1500 mentioned, but i'm guessing in Pesos)...

[SN toter]

$1500 american friend...I know...

[questionful]

Can you make it say "SP is the devil. . . SP is the devil. . . SP is the devil. . . SP. . ."? If so, then I'll get one as soon as they drop the MSRP to $5. Shouldn't be too long.
