the guy at my local shop told me today that theyre going to stop production on the E2's. Are they going to replace it or what?

**CoolHipJim56** · February 7th, 07:43 PM

I heard after the development of the EGO planet eclipse is steering away from Autococker parts and accessories.

**fenix_freak** · February 7th, 08:04 PM

That would be stupid on PEs part. The eblades bring in a ton of money. Not as much as the ego, but still...money's money.

I don't get it, all the design is done and they already invested into making them. Why stop already?

**pballa12** · February 7th, 08:51 PM

Well they might say they r. Stop producing them for a little while. Demand will go up they will still have sum of them and they can madly overcharge them and make a ton of money. Its probably gonna be sumtin similar to the xbox360 thing. But they might not make the e2 again. When xbox360 came out there was limited supply and people payed tons of money for em. Some where on ebay going for like 1000. So they sell the remaining and overcharge them they make money and they still got the ego rolling in the doe.

They are stopping production on all cocker parts and accessories. If you have noticed, most stores are out of stock on the nexus rams and other parts. PE is continuing to make limited quantities of the eblade for the time being, but eventually they plan on stopping that too.

***ThrottleJunkie*** · February 8th, 07:10 AM

i dont understand that. didnt PE make a ton of money off cocker parts? i mean, what other commonly used markers do they make parts for that could equal the sales of the eblade?

**sick_dawg** · February 8th, 02:20 PM

They used to make tons of money off it, but now they arent selling as much as they used to. If you have noticed, the price of eblades have been going down a lot over the past few months. Usually that means that they werent selling like they had planned at the old price, so they lower it in the hopes to get more sales. Planet Eclipse now has the ego to worry about, and I can guarantee that it is doing 10x better then the cocker, so they decided to put their efforts into that instead of cockers, which are not as popular as they used to be.

**pballa12** · February 8th, 02:56 PM

low stock= high price instead of mass producing em and selling em low they dont mass produce and probably plan on brging prices up

Not always. That only occurs if there is a high demand for the product, and there isnt a huge demand for eblades right now. Most people are buying used because it is so much cheaper.

this is true. but maybe PE is developing a new eblade or E3 so to say. and they want to stop production of the old parts to build suspence and up the demand for this product.

***Frozen Paint*** · February 8th, 05:45 PM

I honsetly dont understand why no one else makes a good electro cocker frame. It is kinda retarded. I also dont know why peple are willing to spend so much on an eblade. Is a worrblade the same as an eblade? I never have found out the diff between them? You say that cockers arn't as popular as they used to be, so what has change and what has taken it's place?

**bobide** · February 8th, 06:03 PM

raceframes they will still be around and they are good. And the cocker platform just hasn't been "the" thing for a few years. All the big money spending players have moved on to different guns.

doubt it, it's been said before, and i even remember making a thread on this a while back but PE is quitting out of the cocker business...the Ego is one hot marker and they have a better chance of making more money off of releasing a new gun then by making parts for a type of gun that is slowly dying off.

It's not always the case where they cut off the product to raise a demand, the demand for eblades is already really low and with cocker demand low as well an opportunity for selling eblades won't be very high.

i was reading through this thread...i don't remember who said it but they were talking about the xbox360 thing...well that little procedure right there was what business people like to call price skimming. It worked for them because thanks to the original Xbox and the games for the xbox, the demand was set insanely high and microsoft and everyone else who makes a profit out of the xbox360 were basically milking the potential customers for some ridiculous price.

Thanks to a couple products that are very fast and in the same price range as the cocker, cocker resale dropped even more...which means you have the opportunity to buy already used electronic cockers for cheaper than getting an eblade alone

No, one of their reps on PBN has said that they will continue support for the eblade, but there are no plans for any new products or anything. They never even finished everything that was going to happen with the e2. There was supposed to be software and a harness so you could hook it up to your computer and do certain things with it, and also the break beam eyes were supposed to come out. It is possible to use ego eyes, but PE was originally planning on making a kit specifically for the e2.

**Cockerkid63** · February 8th, 06:57 PM

Do you think e1's and e2's prices will raise or drop?

PE, I can't believe it.

**bobide** · February 9th, 06:40 PM

every gun is as customizable as a cocker. bodies, rams, boards, noids, valves, bolts, pullpins (backblock) the cocker has no advantage.

and your post on bps and slow parts is very off. A e-cocker can go as fast as any gun out there. The problem is the price for a e-cocker brand new is WAY too high when compared to what it has and what other electonic guns have.

**sick_dawg** · February 9th, 07:58 PM

Even a completely stock cocker with an e2 can easily break 13 bps. I dont think we really need any new parts. I cant think of any huge improvement they could do to make it any better, except for maybe a different style valve. The mq is a great valve, but I am sure that somebody could come up with a better design or something.
