TRIBAL GOING UNDER????

[Phaelon Veritas]

I walked into my local PB shop and the guy I usually deal with (always tipping me off to different thing) tells me that he has heard that TRIBAL has gone under he says he hasn't had it confirmed yet (They Carry Tribal) but he has heard it circulated from other PB manufacturers and distributers that Tribal has gone under can this be??? Hmmmmm I hope not...

wat u mean tribal is going under??? u mean...no longer manufactered???

[Phaelon Veritas]

no I mean claiming bankruptcy it doesn't mean that someone won't buy them out or that they won't be acquired by another company it means the comapny is in a very bad financial state which could lead to them not making any guns anymore

Best case scenario, Tribal goes bellyup, have to liquidate stock, Flusters and other cool Tribal markers get big price reductions, everyone's happy, except company Execs who have to take jobs at McDonalds.

...then your gun breaks, no company exists to honor warranties or supply factory parts :(

[MuckRaker]

Still no problem ... Proshop in town has a very well equiped and staffed machine shop. If it exists, they can make it. If it doesn't, well, they can still make it.

well yeah it's good and bad I would love to get a tribal but look at the manuf. of the air nova they went belly up and 375 dollar guns are still being sold at 275 thats rediculous ..... if anything major goes wrong it would be expensive to fix and with a tribal if same thing applies 475
gun goes for what 350 with no warranty and no inexspensive options.... hard consideration

It would be nice to get a mephy for 300, but impusles and bushy are much better, but i'd kill to get a mephy over a rainmaker

If it is true, I hope that another company will purchase them. If they go under and noone continues to manufacture there products it could become bad for the sport.

hopoe fully either wgp or kingman or pmi, any one but BE....BE mephestos!nnnnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[PBSouLjAh]

heck no. i dont want BE to take over. hmm....i kinda want wgp to take over it. dat would be tyte.

yeah look what they did to the cocker. MIRACLES...imagine what they could do with a pretty decent gun like the Tribal. I mean noone thought cockers would really be a major gun in the paintball market today..but that's completely wrong. WGP would know how to make the Tribal better.

[Richy_C]

yeah, wgp also purchase the bruizer line, if brice goes down for those (yey!) than they would be great backups
