I've heard this before. Anyone remember the FAMAE SG-542 rifles? TI was first to advertise (at an absurd price). ERE was first to market by nearly a year and even though they also gouged, they did so far less than TI who had to lower their unreasonable price targets just to compete.
If I had to guess, I'd bet TI will not be first to market. Past performance IS indicative of future performance much of the time, in my experience.
I too agree with you but I really want one of these bad and so be it if I buy one at 1000$ that's fine by me and if another company brings them in at cheaper, well I'll buy that oNE too!!!!
