    Posted: 04 June 2009 at 12:36pm
Ok so my online bidding of the TPX is over. I decided not to blindly follow them to the point of paying retail price for a non-retail product. I logged in to tippmannparts and ordered this product and then got a message stating it would ship within a couple of weeks. Anyone waiting on their TPX from this site? I checked a couple of other sites who boasted having it in stock and I am sort of wishing I would have shopped around a bit now. Just curious.

Actionvillage has them in stock. Also see several on Ebay at actual stores. A couple of forumers have already gotten theirs as well.

Ha Rodent, funny guy. No that's cool. I have been thinking how silly people will think the double-wielding TPX players are until they get smoked in the face as they get rushed. I have been wanting to get ahold of one to check it out then maybe order a second for fun.

Ya they are a good gun I had a guy b*#ch at a game on the weekend that it wasn't fare that I had 2 guns I was like buddy your gun hold 200+ rounds. Mine hold 8 shots each how is that not fare for you???? the ref told the guy to stop b*#^hing and smilled at me . So when the game started I made sure to go after that guy first I had two friends pin him down and then I went in for the kill. The ref busted a nut laughing at him and after the game I told him I only used one gun the ref said see what happends when you **edited**. All the other guys playing wanted me to run around shooting with 2  they called it gangster style LOL

I love pistols....when theres a ctf game, I am usually the only with a pistol so I take it upon myself to be the flag runner. but i am allowed a shield and it is usually a 30v30 game (and indoors too). so i feel that having a shield and a pistol is fair.

Ok now since emailing tippmannparts.com to make them aware of the issue with their posted availability and shipping as of 5/29. I placed my order on 6/3 as previously mentioned. Today they updated their site to show availability and shipping as of 6/15. Is this grounds for a legitimate cancellation of my order? I guess my patience has run dry on an item that was listed as in stock and shipping several days before my order. Any thoughts anyone?

Hi,
This is Ken from TippmannParts.com

Many people have pre-ordered the TPX pistol pistol from us over the last several months. 
During this time, there have been several push backs of the release date of pistol while Tippmann fine tuned the final product.  When the pistol was at last released, it was shipped out in small quantities.  While we had many of these pistols ordered, in the end, all dealers received the same allotment.  This means that dealers who do not sell many guns may have the pistol in stock.  This also means that some people that did not preorder from us early, did not get pistols shipped to them when the gun was first released.  We have been receiving the pistols a few times each week and have been sending them out to pre-orders the same day they arrive.  Tippmann has informed us that all back orders should be filled this comming week.  When this happens, we will have many additional pistols in stock for new orders.
All orders placed with TippmannParts.com do not have their credit cards charged until the day of shipment.  If anyone needs to cancel their order because they found a locally available TPX, we understand.  Just give us a call during normal business hours and we can cancel your pre-order placed with us.

Ken thanks for the information. Don't mind my ranting and raving you guys have been there every step so far on this process and I applaud you for that. I am going to wait it out as previously mentioned. My shortage of patience was due in part to wanting to get it and play in time for this weekend. Thing is it rained today and I didn't go anyway so joke's on me. Normally I would support the local shops but they don't expect one of these for at least a month so congrats on getting some of the initial ones and then being able to fill the back orders so quickly. Again I appreciate the information and did not mean this to sound as negative against the site at all.

I went into my local store yesterday and found that out of the 10 they ordered they got 5. One of them was immediately snatched up. I however am not sure I want to pick one up just yet. I am getting an A-5 and as well as trying to sell one of my 98Cs to a friend in order to fund a potential TPX purchase. I certainly hope that the TPXs at my local store don't get snatched up too fast before I have a chance to get the money for it.

Anyone have any updates on Tippmann's ability to backfill orders this week? I am hoping they are on schedule! Can't wait to get ahold of one of these. Chances are I will want a second one as well.
