Bad times with the new revys...

[Restola]

I picked up one of those new revys. The kinds with a different plastic, clear lids, and xboards. And its a piece of junk!

First halfway through my first day with it the paddle pops off. It apparently was not attached at all. It would not stay down by pushing it in, and eventually I ended up having to borrow another persons revy until I could superglue mine back together.

Then this morning I pick up my gun, revy attached, and the revy just peels off at the feed neck! Now I am not one to throw around my stuff, but I do admit ONE shirt was on top of the revy when I picked it up...

Answer to this problem? $69.99 for a new revy at the local store, or not play in the big game jah had planned...

I dont know what is going on, but I have DROPPED guns with the old style revys on them and have never even seen a feedneck break before (although I'm sure it has happend).

So I'm going to call BE on monday, and plead my case to them, although I'm quite certain I'll get nothing out of them and have to spend more money on a new shell just so I can sell one of these and get some of my money back...

Solution:BUY A HALO B!

I saw that same thing happen to a guy at the MI Monster Game... hopefully it's just one bad manufacturing run and not all of them.
With the Halo A's only 90 or so now, I think those are your best bet for a new loader, mine's worked great.

Im not suprised. See if you can pick up one of the old shells somewhere for cheap.

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE + they are only about $7 for each half for a clear shell I believe. I bought an extra shell when I had my warp, one with holes drilled and one without. So for a new shell that'd be running you $14 or so. And these are the older shells, the ones made of that tough polycarbonite that Warpig did a review on. My two shells are sticking up great...

I'll agree 100% on this one. I bought mine back in May when i was at the Coram Big Game, By the end of the weekend it had already devoloped 2 big cracks in it and also the screw hole that is right up by the hopper lid has borken off. Luckily i still had my old shells, i'm gonna step out on a limb here and say my next hopper won't be from Viewloader.

I've seen this type of post on other forums. It seems that pretty much all of the new revys have fragile shells and are breaking frequently, but not from abuse. Maybe BE needs to do a recall/ replacement with better shells or face another eggo style failure.

i would just buy a used pre be revvy
i have three of them
and i paid a total of 45 dollars for 3 fully functional revvies. used stuff is the best stuff

ahh i was gunna by smoke shells off 888 for my old revvy that is beet (i didnt care about it ) ah.. what to do now...

[~WarpedRT~]

Ricochet always worked perfect for me

[mercury]

You beat me to it. I was just going to say that the Ricochets have always worked well for me. They even sent me a free replacement shell after I went and stripped the screws in mine and that was my fault.

wow, that broken revy looks just like my new one. I did send it in to BE and they sent me a new one to break
