    Missed some of them and waited to long on others.
    Money is tight for me too, i've gone from about 40 to over 60 guns in my collection within the last couple of months...

    Would really appreciate it if you give me a heads up and dibs on them before selling your Armsons.
    May get a Sleeper and VMX soon anyways, so i might get over blowing my chance on getting yours.

    But back to Topic.
    Anyone else insane enough to pay almost anything for a Micromag X-Valve?

      For me, it's not an issue of insanity...it's an issue of monies.

        Call Tracy and ask if she minds... When she says "OK" to you putting the word "Micromag" on a valve, buy a used (like new) one for $200 and spend $20 including shipping for engraving.

        I'd love to see a PTP Micro shipping with a PTP X-valve, but we'll be lucky if we ever see another Micro after this one let alone a valve accompanying it. People are strapped; a marked up X-valve, even a branded one, just wouldn't sell. One of the main reasons original Micro valves are worth more is that they preserve originality, not that they're branded to match.

          It may sound strange, but thats the one thing i propably won't end up doing.
          Making 1 or 2 custom engraved valves for myself would be simple and cheap, but it would be just as much "not a Micromag valve" as an ordinary X-Valve.
          Beeing from PTP on the other hand would make it collectable to me...

          I don't know why, but organizing a run of Valves on here would make it somehow semi-official and in my mind collectible too, if it would be done with PTPs blessing of course.

          @Tracy:
          Would you have any problem if we'd contact Tuna about making a batch of "Micromag X-Valves"?

            Interested

            I would sell something to get a dust black MicroMag 2009 / Tuna Xvalve.

              I think I would start selling some of my Tribals to pay for a custom valve.

                  Its a good distraction for the whiners
                  Well if its a go and you start another thread, put me down for a dust black one.
                  It would certainly top off the PTP MicroMag if that could happen !
                  I'll sell some stuff.

                      You know, this almost offends me. Only because I've already traded for a dust black X-valve to match my body.


                      GRRRRR.

                        Great, I was already torn between using my EMax valve and my old RT Micromag valve. Now I'll have to consider this too...

                          Thanks for putting up with the trouble i started.
                          If this pics up pace and we go thru with it, we should do so in it's own thread so we don't hijack this one.
                          BTW, do the blanks have serials? If we could put our own on it i'd suggest GFX2009xxx...

                          Based on the last few post we might have a winner with dust black as color option.
                          It has my vote too.
                          But i don't like the idea of everyone choosing their own text...
                          Let's brainstorm first and later on we can have a poll, to decide on one semi-official design.

                          Thus far we've got:
                          - Micromag X-Valve
                          - 2009 Micro E Mag

                          You might wanna drop the "E"?
                          So it would be suitable for mechs too.

                            Just a polite suggestion...

                            Don't bring this up. Don't even ask Tracy for permission to make your own or have Tuna make them until after the bodies start shipping. It will not end well.

                              You've got a good point there.
                              Tracy is taking all the whining quite personal so it might be good to let the dust settle first.

                              I've never understood why to rush custom projects anyways. It's done when it's done...
