pepin1234 Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Hi VKB. Do you have plan for more replica grips? I really miss the old flanker replica Black Mamba. Something like Mig-29, Mig-23 (for the RAZBAM module). I am sure will be some collectors out there happy to purchase these grips. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
AeroGator Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Nope, we don't for now. We want to finally deliver what we promised, and have a smoke and a drink on the porch. We will of course make more models, but for now no plans for replicas. I am not saying 'never', I'm saying 'not any time soon'. > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator
Waxer Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 We want to finally deliver what we promised... That would be nice. ...and have a smoke and a drink on the porch. More like a smoke and a drink in the Porsche. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
streakeagle Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) If VKB could reach the point where they weren't out of stock 90% of the time on 90% of their products, that would be good for some of us. But of course, having stock laying on a shelf collecting dust is not profitable, and this is really a very small niche market. So, it is understandable that a small company would rather churn out products over time to have steady income instead of selling everything to everyone in a month or two, then having very little business over the long haul. But if you can't meet demand, someone else will. At this point, I would like to buy the two stand-alone grips I don't have: the KG12 and the SCG Premium. I could get the complete SCG Premium with the base, but I would much prefer the Pro version and only the desktop version is available. I am not going to pay the extra cost when I could get the grip for a lot less or get the Pro version which has all the components I prefer: small base and stick extension.

AeroGator Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 If VKB could reach the point where they weren't out of stock 90% of the time on 90% of their products... With all respect, your news are from yesterday. We're closing up with that, and the difference between last August and August this year in terms of stock and availability is more than obvious. I would like to buy the two stand-alone grips I don't have: the KG12 and the SCG Premium We don't do sales on forums, and I am a wrong man to ask sales questions, but I believe writing to sales@.... (our sales dept email is easy to find) may pretty easily get your need served! :) > Best Regards from VKB Lair, AeroGator
streakeagle Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 I check the us website every single day. I know exactly what I can order. I have got the VKB MCG Pro and SCG grip that I already have because I pre-ordered right away and waited forever. I have been following all of the stand-alone grips and complete stick setups available for some time and it is very rare for anything to be in stock, except for a brief period following announcements on this very forum. The only things in stock are either items that few people want or items that have just been released. You can say otherwise, but I know what I see when I visit the USA VKB website and click on a particular item and click on every possible combination just to see what my options are. Right now, the items I want are either out of stock, or can only be bought by choosing a combination I don't want or need... which is actually better than it has been most of the time, where nothing I wanted was available in any combination. The products are designed very well, but availability has been a problem for many people, and VKB has lost some sales to the competition. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
