    Why haven't the last of the AKA vikings sold?

    I was talking to AKA the other day and they mentioned they had a couple complete 04 vikings ready to go for like 725$. I am wondering why they haven't sold? Anyone know anything about these? Is there just no one willing to pay that much?

    Ya it seems that you can get a used one for a lot less. As long as there are used ones floating around in the b/s/t sections, no one's going to buy a new one from AKA.

    Either that or people don't bother calling AKA and finding this out!

      They keep making them... don't let those tricky devils fool you. I'm pretty sure you can get anything you want from them.

        Oh really? That would explain why they've had a couple "in stock" for so long! :spit_take

          OK so if they keep finishing them off why are they so slow selling? I mean they can't have infinite stock SP would send in the lawyers. It has been 4 years. The used market can't have everything. I don't remember what they were back in the day but that seems like a ok price.

          Oooh also look here:

          I am wondering who would want a Tadao board.

            that was a shameless plug^^^^

            im guessing its because noone bothered to check with aka to see if they had any new ones left in stock just assuming that they had all been sold...

              did you check and see if they had any more excaliburs?

                Are you sure they said $725? Last time I called I didn't ask about Vikings, but they had NIB '04 Excals for $1200.

                  I dunno I've heard of a few people getting new ones and I see a lot of them on gruntbull's page so I assume that they are still readily available and apparently have been for some time.

                    Because in order to get it from this;



                    To something cool like this;


                    You need to buy the marker for $800+, then spend about another $800-$1000 on it and waste a year of your life waiting.

                      But what is really the difference between the top and bottoms vikings other than some milling and pretty colors? It doesnt have to be pretty to shoot a paintball.

                      I'd be happy with the top pic....but its still not worth 800 to me.

                        Not much, maybe a board. The aka guns are great shooters out of the box. The bottom one is soooo purdy though... yet every time I pick one up (3 to date) I cant wait to get rid of them. Go figure.

                          Yeah that is hard to figure there evil. I picked up my first Viking (first pic version) and I don't think I will ever want to sell it off (although I have said that about a mag or two that I no longer own). All the same they are great.

                          Sorry for the shameless plug. I couldn't help myself.

                            Well, the sad part is I know I haven't learned my lesson. One day I will come across #4 and snatch it up.

                              Nah, wouldn't pay that for one and then have to scour around looking for the parts I want. I really don't care for having to send it off for work...well on the off chance that it needs it.

                              I honestly think it is one of the best shooters I have ever held on to, and REALLY liked my 03, but talk about carrying around a brick. Whew, I was tired of toting it by the time I got to the staging area....
