Nova Phantom Duckslide kits

[Trbo323]

What did they make like 5?

It's kind of sad that they have people wanting their parts but are just not making enough

It’s that fomo drop culture that is utterly pervasive in the sport right now. They will hopefully make more runs because of how fast the first one sold out but it really does annoy the hell out of me.

Well... yes and no. Sometimes it's a capital question, and not wanting stranded inventory. Even for consistent production, small batches are often more cost effective when carrying costs, cost of capital, shop space, etc. are considered. Especially if changes may occur - obsolescence gets expensive.

But sometimes it's just driving attention through a limited release flavor, like it's a chocolate bar that only comes out for Christmas.

I'll bet it's typically risk management for small shops, and a marketing strategy for big.

Just have to wait for more from the shipping container to arrive lol

[Jsc5150]

Where are you guys getting your slides anno’d?

[Chaos]

I would reach out to KMDPB for having it done. He's the least expensive route and does great work for the money

[iamthelazerviking]

2 more are going up for sale at 5pm Eastern

[Riot]

Instantly gone.

I had it in my cart five seconds after 5, express pay, and it said, "no longer available."

Ok that is really annoying. Reminds me of trying to buy concert tickets. Something I’ve also given up on.

Well that's a rip off

[screwloose45]

I think they got stocked like a minute or 2 before 5, not fair but I got 1. What kind of phantom do I need to install it?

[iamthelazerviking]

Vertical stock class

[Riot]

I refreshed it each minute from 455-500 and it didnt pop up until 5:00.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Screw this I’m not playing this game. Im just going to find a Duck slide and machine it to the spec I want. Nova Half assed this anyway.

I hope they produce thousands of them. So the real ones drop in price and I can build what I want.

They didn’t listen, replicated the flaws, now they playing games. I’m out.

[Riot]

Allegedly.*

[Chuck E Ducky]

Nah I’m Over it. Word is they reneged on what they agreed to I can’t support that.

[XEMON]

The lack of effort on Nova's side is staggering ...

[$L!mBo]

annoyingly, theres a lot of folks who grabbed these posting that they dont even own a phantom.

give it a few months, there will be a ton back up for sale.

its only a matter of time before the hype beasts realize they dont have a good time when they cant shoot ten dollars a second.

in my experience, Pistol setups have a steep learning curve and most folks just want one bc it looks cool.
i loan my duckslide out to anyone that wants to borrow it for a game or two and overwhelmingly more end up hating not being able to shoulder their marker and make consistent longer range shots.

[Grendel]

I could not agree more with the fact that pistol setup have a steep learning curve. While my "real" Duckslide is my main Stock Class marker I will not say I have come anywhere near mastering it. I am way better playing open class or my stocked stock class Phantom then I am my Duckslide but it it nice to have something to improve with.

[screwloose45]

I bought mine knowing I have parts for 20 builds I haven't finished, but will one day. But I also plan on the duckslide being open class.

[$L!mBo]

open class with a tank?
or open class with a hopper?
to use a feedneck body or flyweightnate 's adapter, you need to widen the slot

[screwloose45]

Open class with a hopper, was hoping it would fit but apparently not :-(

[$L!mBo]

to me, a hopper on a duckslide doesnt make much sense. the balance and center of gravity will be all out of whack. a hopper will stick out like a big bulbous sore thumb on what is, otherwise, a sleek slim package. Youre taking something that was always meant to be one of the top stock class pistols and pulling it into Samurai/Talon territory. i dont mean to be rude and End of the day, its yours to do with as you please but its not something 99% of us want. would definitely hurt the resale value too.

[Drcemento]

I guess I somehow got very lucky - or unlucky depending on who you talk to here 🤔. It shipped yesterday. very interested to see what shows up now. It will go on a phantom right away. My son is particularly excited about this kit since he saw his first duckslide at Bacci's. His phantom is already set up in a shorty pistol configuration with no stock and is he pretty handy with it.

[Jsc5150]

Ngl i got the phrame and the duckslide just for the Bacci game

I agree with this. There will definitely be people dumping them after they use it once. Pistol play isn't for everyone.
