Planet Eclipse HQ Blog

As I’m sure some of you will already know we have posted on for Auction a couple of SL91’s on EBay. I have been sitting on another item that might be of interest to someone out there that again we are going to post up on EBay. The item in question is the First Production EGO10… It has the serial number 60001 (the 6 th Year of the Ego serial number 1). It is, at the moment, in a raw state and the lucky winner can have it marker Anodised in whatever colour they would like (within reason and as long as we can actually do it). We are going to start the bidding at $1. Before anyone asks there isn’t anything special about this EGO10 except that it’s serial number 1. I will enhance the package by putting a Shaft 3 Barrel upgrade kit in with the Marker so you get everything that you would normally get plus a .685 and a .689 Back. For a detailed specification, please visit this link: http://files.planeteclipseb2b.com/ego/EGOTEN-SPEC-EN.pdf To place your bid please visit www.ebay.com item...

Here is something that, well, if I’m honest makes me want to puke. But you would not believe how many of the production staff think this is a little beauty. At the end of each year’s production run we end up with a bunch of odd mismatched parts. This year is no different. We have a bunch (about 15 I believe) of EGO9 markers that have some weird and wonderful colour combinations that we have or will be putting up on line on the Planet Web site for the bargain price of $799 (first come first served on these). But this ‘Frankenstein’ EGO9 we are going to put up on EBay so people can bid on it. Again we will start the bidding at $1, as because it’s Christmas any monies over $500 we will split 50% / 50% with the Charity www. cancer researchuk.org/ (so for example if the final bid is $600 we will donate $50 to Cancer Research UK, if it’s $1000 then we will donate $250). The maraker is just a regular Ego9 marker but with a very different colour scheme. Here's the spec: Eclipse Ego...

OK... One more just before I go to Sleep !! Part 2 of Last years Un-Employable Feature (that came out on the EMORTAL DVD)... Is now up on YouTube... Check it Out. Part 3 should be up and out on Christmas Eve. LEDZ

Well, this is my last Blog Post of the year. I’m off Snowboarding tomorrow for Christmas so I’m not going to be able to post anything else... Sorry... (Eilidh might though). I would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year. Paintball is a great sport and I’m very fortunate to be involved in it. It's an industry that I feel proud to be a part of from the Planet Eclipse point of view. 2009 has not been a great year for anyone involved in Paintball but we have a strong core and where there is heart there is also stubborn determination. Let’s all hope that 2010 is set to bring back the good times for everyone. See you all in 2010 !!!!! Here is a little festive Mini ETV for you :-) LEDZ

ETEK3 Mini site is now up and running… Just in time for a Pre Christmas Drool… http://www.planeteclipse.com/etek3/ The ETEK has to be one the fastest selling Eclipse Markers we have ever made; critics are giving this Marker some pretty high praise. Everyone here at Planet HQ is very happy with the finished product. If you want to get your hand on one then you might have to look high and low as demand has outstripped supply at the moment even with production ramping up build. So if you want one I’d get your name down on a waiting list at your local store…. If you can find one in stock somewhere I would bag it while you can!!! Enjoy.

The second and Last SL91 is now up on E-Bay. The first one sold for a staggering $7000 making it, as well as one of world rarest markers also to our knowledge the most expensive marker ever sold. Will the last one go for more or less than the $7000 benchmark?

Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas if it weren’t for drunken fumbles under the mistletoe (Ledz, leave Stoney alone!), gallons of ale and more food than you could shake a Yule log at, which is why Ledz and Jules kindly decided to take us all out for a night on the tiles to celebrate the Season. And, wow....what a night it was! We kicked off the night with a couple of cocktails, then made our way to a fab little rodizio style restaurant, where we ate and ate (....and ate... .. and ate !) Phew. Not one for the veggies, we feasted on every type of ste ak, sausage, chop and chicken and even chickens hearts. Yum. :-S After that we waddled over to the local comedy club where we saw a great line-up, including our favourite female comedienne, Sarah Milican and the brilliant up and coming Russell Kane. Then we hit the bars and danced the night away with the help a few sambucas courtesy of the management  The hardcore party animals among us then went on to the nearby Casino where we finish...
