Airsoft.nu – Nyheter

Den första januari avslutar ActionSportGames och tillverkaren Classic Army samarbetet med varandra, efter tio år. Därmed slutar ASG att vara distributör av CAs produkter i Sverige och flera andra länder. CA får inte längre tillverka vapen som ASG äger licens för (beroende på licens så upphör avtalen 1 januari eller 30 juni).

I stället så kommer ASG att fokusera på sina egna produkter och varumärken. CA kommer fortsättningsvis att ha möjlighet att tillverka och sälja vapenmodellerna (bortsett logotyperna) men ej kunna sälja i Europa eller USA då ASG äger licenserna och ensamrätten till föräljning av dessa modeller i nämnda världsdelar.

Så här står det i pressmeddelandet från ASG:
After many years of partnership ActionSportGames® A/S (ASG) and Classic Army have decided to end their cooperation from January 1st, 2013.

By this date ASG will no longer act as distributor of Classic Army airsoft products.

ASG will sell its remaining stock of Classic Army airsoft products as soon as possible, and will keep servicing Classic Army products bought through ASG.

The sub-license cooperation between ASG and Classic Army concerning ArmaLite, Arsenal, B&T, D.S. Arms and Steyr Mannlicher also terminates by January 1st, 2013. This means that from this date Classic Army is no longer authorized by ASG to utilize the brands and trademarks mentioned above, and these licensed airsoft products can hereafter only be legally obtained through ASG and its network of distributors.

Further, the sub-license agreement between ASG and Classic Army regarding Concern Izhmash airsoft products ends by June 30, 2013. By this date Classic Army holds no sub-licenses authorized by ASG or any of its licensors.

From January 1st, 2013 ASG will be focusing exclusively on developing, promoting and pushing its own brands and its portfolio of licensed products.

Since ASG holds the worldwide exclusive licenses to replicate the firearms and components of ArmaLite, Arsenal, B&T, D.S. Arms, Steyr Mannlicher and Concern Izhmash, ASG will keep distributing these licensed airsoft products worldwide.

Matt Furey-King som är ordförande i European Airsoft Association har skickat ut ett e-postmeddelande till flera företrädare för airsoften i Europa. Vi har fått tillstånd av Matt att delge er meddelandet. Sveriges representant hos EAA är Sveroks airsoftgrupp, om den finns kvar.

Hello everyone,

Just a quick update to tell you where EAA stands. My apologies for not pushing things this year, things got unexpectedly busy for me. Anyway, main thing is we are still here. I’ve got some plans for 2013 and over Christmas break I will be sketching out a progress timetable for 2013. Principally I’m thinking about getting us registered in Brussels as an international association. This will lend us credibility and possibly open the opportunity for EU funding, but its very complicated and will take me some time to read up before I can tell you how we are going to achieve it. Of course, we will need a constitution, which I am working on now.

Very soon I will hold a new logo competition.

Before the end of January I’m going to hold another Skype meeting. There are a few items I wish to put on the table to help us decide the constitution and structure of EAA. After that is settled, we can look towards some projects, doing something proactive. But first, I’m afraid, we have to get bureaucracy sorted out. At the meeting I will fist call another presidential election as I’ve stood for a year now. I hope you will elect me again. We will use Skype again as it is the most convenient method but we will only use text.

What I ask all of you to do is a small, easy task before the end of 2012. Please can all association presidents/chairmen log in to our forum (or send a delegate) and make a thread telling us about your national association and any on going problems or projects in your country. Just email me back with your forum name if you don’t have committee forum access. It will also help me know you are still interested, have forum access and I have the right contact details for you. I would like to get lots of interest in this quick and easy task which will indicate bright prospects for the whole European airsoft association project.

Here is where I ask you to put your thread http://www.europeanairsoftassociation.eu/en/forum/64-national-discussion.html
Please check in every few weeks to discuss and get updates.

Hope to hear from you soon and have a great Christmas.

Regards,
Matt Furey-King

För er som har förhandsbokat kommande GK5C GL hos någon av butikerna så bör de ha dessa hos sig och redo att skicka ut inom några dagar.

Airsoft.nu fick en paketavi idag (måndag) för att hämta ut bland annat en GK5C som testgruppen i Västerås ska testa och recensera.

Pga hemresa och Postens öppettider så kan paketet först hämtas ut på onsdag och därefter kommer ni att få se några bilder. Men det kan ju hända att någon butik publicerar bilder före oss 🙂
