Worr bought by K2

[spantol]

This would be roughly equivalent to making fun of someone for having a Mercury V12 Vanquish.

Wow... cool.. I have more fodder for squids with cockers... " Hey.. You have a brass eagle cocker "

Soon to come.. the all plastic cocker hehe..

[AGD]

Humm.... interesting, this is news to me too. Well lets see, gun with lots of parts, needs service, can sell lots of upgrades and has no patents. Give it to BE so they can do what? Make it cheaper and cut the service?

Remember, when they bought JT they said the product would not be sold in Wall Mart.....

wow...now if this didn't just come out of left field...good job K2...guess I better start buying some stock now...who better to b*slap SP into submission?

[spantol]

I don't think it's a matter of "giving [WGP] to BE" so much as it's supplementing BE with WGP. With BE, K2 gained a foothold in the low-end paintball market, and BE's existing distribution channels. With WGP, K2 has gained a mid-to-high end line of products and the brand equity and loyalty associated with it.

Look for BE stuff to be sold in your local X-Mart, and WGP stuff to be sold in specialty stores. Two distinct market segments, two distinct brands.

So...who wants to start the AGD bought by K2 rumor now? (they can cover all the markets...including Tom's military work)

[deadeye9]

Maybe K2 has already approached AGD about selling. Maybe AGD was expecting K2 to buy AGD and was surprised when K2 bought WGP instead.

Trust me my jokeing is just... work in a store... kid buy cockers of the net and cant work them.. I spend most of my day flipping bolts around hehe....

And I own a cocker too

[bleachit]

Haha cockers are now officially a 'wal-mart gun'

w00t, its now just a matter of time before I start getting 10% off cockers at wally world.. I guess this may be one reason to keep working at walmart

[milomag]

omg, this is very interesting

[barrel break]

well, guys, if you read the announcement, they say "premium" guns, meaning high-end, i think they will probably keep WGP ona leash, but generally give free reign, they are just here to get a piece of the pie, otherwise, this is a sign of the apocalypse.....

Man, glad i bought my cocker when i did....

[Dubstar112]

Im starting to distrust everyone in the paintball industry.

I wonder if AGD would ever sell out over a money? Its not the right question to ask, but c'mon now . . . We have to be prepared to expect the unexpected?

[CodeMA]

wow... cant really say I EVER saw this comeing...


mabey it will turn out to be a good thing in the end however...mabey....


...ok so we can atleast HOPE right?

[QUOTE=manike] I believe Bud has been wanting to get out for a while to work on his Custom Motorcycles.
[QUOTE]

Maybe you can clear this up,
but i thought that bud ran the machine shop that supplied WGP with cockers? almost like selling product from one company to another while they have the same owner?

So I guess the advantage is Bud gets to keep his infrustructure, machine shop, and sell all of WGP's holdings? Is bud still making cockers and now just selling them to WGP/K2/BE?


Is this the worlds saving grace to SP?

[atm743]

I wonder if AGD is next on the K2 acquisition list?

Everything is for sale for a price.

i hope that agd is going to be bought off by anyone. i have a feeling because they are stopping the production of flatlines e-mags x-mags. i have a bad feeling that something eals will go to. you see all of the smart parts desighs for all of the impys ??
