If you have any info you would like for us to pass on please email us on: Germany = shop@paintball.de UK = info@planeteclipse.com If you do not want to give your name then you can anonymously contac...

First up, let's talk spares - stay with us, it'll all make sense. We have a vast stock of Eclipse spares–old and new–that are compatible with every marker we ever did. So whether you need an o-ring for your EGO05, or a POPS bonnet for a CS2 we'll have something to help you out. Unfortunately our UK HQ warehouse is only so big, and with the increasing number of great products we design and build we're fast running out of space to store everything. We even use our pool table for storage... which hasn't gone down too well at all. 14 years of marker spares kinda takes up a LOT of space, so we made a change. Our sister company in Germany, Paintball.De, specialises in distribution so we decided they should be our designated Eclipse Spares Hub for the UK/Europe and the USA. So no matter where you are you can get your Eclipse spares directly from Paintball.De. To tech nerds this Spares Hub is filled with pure Eclipse gold. Which is now kinda true, because we...

At Planet Eclipse we design and manufacture our equipment to perform at the very highest levels, but we also want our equipment to be super-reliable so that our players never need to worry about anything other than what they do on their field of play.  A by-product of this design ethos is that our equipment–paintball markers in particular–has a very long lifespan.  We have always kept a substantial stock of spare parts in our hubs, as well as at our approved service centres Worldwide, just in case.  But as we have grown and developed as a company and our project numbers have increased it was important to move the older historical spares management away from Planet Eclipse HQ to allow us to focus on design, manufacture and project management. Which is where Paintball.De come in. Paintball.De (based in Germany) operate a very efficient and impressive warehouse and as part of the Planet Eclipse family it made sense to move spares management and sales to their central...

Paintball.De have been part of the Eclipse family for over a year now, since we acquired them and merged certain operational parts of our businesses to form a beautiful, multi-cultural partnership. So we decided it was time to send a few of us over there to have some high-powered business meetings; talk about the present, the future and most importantly drink German beer with a giant serving of German sausage. Firstly, who are Paintball.De? Paintball.De have been operating in Germany for over 25 years and have been a major Eclipse dealer for a good chunk of that time. They have a fantastic warehouse and operational set-up with a vast range of products and paintball brands all delivered by outstanding customer service, which as we all know is massively important when you're parting with your hard-earned-cash. They also boast a very strong tech support service and are now officially THE largest stockist of Planet Eclipse spares in the World. Which is pretty awesome for us ...

That's right, our friends over in Germany at Paintball.De are giving away FREE tickets to 3 lucky winners for the awesome Scenario Big Game 19 in Poland at the end of August. Now, we all love a big game and we have some fantastic sites and games in the UK but if you want more from your big game experience then traveling abroad is something you've just gotta try at least once. Different locations, different scenery, different styles of play (not to mention different beer) all lead to a pretty amazing bit of fun. We caught up with Paintball.De 's 'Butch' to find out more about the contest and the event itself. Hey Butch, how are things? For those who don’t know you – apart from being a massive dude – who are you?  Ha ha, I'm not THAT massive... ok, maybe just a little. I work for Planet Eclipse – the world leading manufacturer of Paintball markers – in the German/continental Europe office and I'm taking care of B2B customers and traveling as a Planet ...
