GG Hard to find

[david231153]

I have been thinking of adding to my collection, I already have the TW Tornado, The Lavatube and Puff Diddy tanks, now I am thinking of getting a Golden Greek, but they have been sold out for ages. This is frustrating and is making me look at other mods that are readily available.

I want the GGTS as it is completely user serviceable, in other words if something breaks or needs replacing I can buy the part and replace it myself, being a bit of a geek this appeals to me, but cannot get one in the UK. Anyone got any news on these hard to get hold of mods, or can anyone suggest a good solid alternative with replaceable parts?

Have you tried to get GG from Aus supplier?

They seem to get more or have more parts on hand at times than we here in states.

You also may try Canada sites as I believe they ship worldwide except to us here in states.

You could also try the classfieds here and seek out sellers willing to deal to yous in the UK.

There was two GGTS's pop up in the classy's here just today.

Perhaps ask the man himself in the suppliers forum?

Yes very good suggestion.

Also monitor all GG supplier sites that deal to UK, David.

Get on notify lists and check sites daily till GG supplies arrive and then strike like shark.

If you persistent you get a GG in time.

Hopefully soon Imeo sends more out to the masses.

I agree that the gg is very hard to come by.
All my gg stuff have been bought from the classies
for the simple reason that I can't find a dealer that has had any in three weeks.

What's tough with GG's is limits because of contracts to sales to different countries.

Here Bruce of COV is exclusive US supplier and will not honor orders from outside US as well as outside foreign suppliers won't ship here.

UK I believe has better opportunities to get GG parts and mods than anywhere else in world to my knowledge as well as australia.

I like this system as it gives everyone a chance to get GG's without hoarding going on from other places

How does that help countries that have no designated exclusive dealer?

 

[Serpent67]

Because some dealers outside the US are worldwide, EXCEPT to us here in the states.

COV is US only supplier.

This means I cant buy or hoard Canadian supplies or supplies from elsewhere, nor can others elsewhere do that to us here

How can others be worldwide and others be just a certain country?
As I understand it, all dealers in their respective countries are exclusive.
So, in that regard, they can't ship out either.

Been looking to add one of the GG,s to my collection !! The only supplier I found with any availability was in France and they have 7 GG Stealth's in stock at present !!! Looking on the GG Forum,there does appear to be a new model on the horizon (VV ?) so will probably wait for that to make an appearance !!

 

[martinc]

From what I`ve gathered,the VV will be an add-on,not an electronic gizmo GG.

GG are modular piece of art,you add/substract from your existing kit/piece of kit to change things.

 

[Bahiaboy]

Do you mean something like the "Kick" that will maybe transform it into a VV Device ??

 

[jpracing]

The GG is to some a work of art. To others, a work of ingenious mechanical talent.
I belong to both camps. A vv GG would only work if the electronics do not interfere
with its form. imho.

Imeo is going to make his own VV drop in like the volt. Yes.
