they should have seen the writing on the wall for their old business model after CA managed to get it's brand out there, instead all they did was continue on the slow-methodical path towards obscurity
meh, companies that believe they can do no wrong all end up the same.. bankrupt.

They don't even play to the same market...CA is HK based, Marui is like WA/Maruzen/Maruishin/KSC, all of their market is in Japan and we just get someone from there to export them out. They don't need the market oversea, but now they see the oppotunity to do so....
Not sure why the TM hate-fest everytime they announced some new products, yes compare to the abundance of clones out there now their guns are now looks like overpriced. But TM is like the definition of appliance in airsoft world. You buy them, charge it, and it'll run, sure your ACM clones might do better, some might even work for a while out of the box, but lots needs to be tinkered to run reliably, and not everyone is going to do that.
EBB might not be my cup of tea, but there are people who use them, and its nice that they are coming out with a brand new gun, with the recoil engine, uses their new gen M4 mags.
Nothing needs to be said for their GBB pistol, they just work....
