What do you make of this? Is it a modded Mini 2.1 or what?

[Tony Spectacular]

I'm not sure what's going on here at all. The door and button are obviously Reos, but the body is not. Is this a modder from our community, or a heathen thief trying to make Rob's work his own? What say you?

That spring is fully compressed. Someone is going to get hurt.

Ask Rob whose been buying blem doors/delrin inserts in bulk orders

 

[patrao_n]

That's not a mini. It's made to look like it though. Also the delrin block has the wrong screw. Not sure if this infringes on robs patent.

Yeah, I noticed those things too. This whole thing is fishy as hell. I don't like it one bit.

That is one fugly looking rip off attempt. What's up with the humpback on it?

I'd love to pay more money for a .... quality product with probably .... customer support.

What a tool

 

[redeyedancer]

I would be ashamed to show my face if I did something like this .

You can't copy perfection.

That is simply disgusting! How DARE he make such a blatant copy of the Reo!!!! And he's so dumb that he posted a pic with a collapsed spring

What a first class jerk!!!

 

[Tony Spectacular]

I'm trying to suppress my rage and be as 'reasonable' as possible on that thread so that I can convince that tool to get me more pictures of the inner workings (pin, firing mechanism, etc...) as well as to find out who the manufacturer is. Figure that those will be important things to get to Rob in order to strengthen his case for patent infringement. The guy is claiming that this thing hits HARDER than a Reo now. Grrrrr.

He must think we are stupid???

 

[Chowderhead1972]

Wow the clone is more than the original. Nice business model, here's you ticket to FAILsville; party of you.... Safety and blatant copy aside; looks like it has a 6ml bottle in what would be a mini. The LP mini is $156 the clone is $200 but better and cheaper? $44 shipping?

 

[tmel]

If he had half a brain, it'd be cheaper then a Reo.

Yes, make a knock-off and try to sell it for more, dumbass.

 

[Chowderhead1972]

I'm not sure what Rob plans to do about this but if I were him I would leave it alone but keep and eye on this company. I believe this fire will put itself out. If he drops the price to $100 or less it would be worthwhile to sic the lawyers on it. Lawyers cost money but at the same time Brand integrity cannot be bought.. It would be a hard Decision for me to make; $10k to shut them down or just wait until it flames out.
