I was expecting something around that mark!!!!
OK, well im thinking High-TOP quality...
Something that doesnt have the external bolt type thing...
(Im Not a fan!)
Though i guess i should probably hire a few and see what i like best!!!
Thanks mate!

Did you come to Action on Sunday? We could have answered any questions you had, including the sort of gear you'll need to start off with. But lets just say that you want the top of the line marker with air and hopper, look to save for about $3500. Of course, this does not include all the other stuff like packs, uniform, etc.

Hey mate,
Yeah i came to action on sunday, i sat in the tent and watch you guys play!!!
My MRs was there and didnt want me leaving her, so the guys at the desk just told me to watch from the tent!!!
I watch about the first 6 or so games, got a catalogue, and talked to 2 guys at the desk about getting some gear!!!
But unfortunatly they dont have DYE!!!!
and thats the gear i want!!!
Ill be coming down this weekend again.
and ill definatly come out the back and have a chat!!!
and get some help on what i need to start up!!
im thinking just a Jersey, Googles, and a Pack to start me off!!!
what do you think?
ANd dam paint is expensive until i buy a gun!!!
that will be months away before i have that cash!!!
while you guys are getting a case for $90!!!
Hey mate, how come you want DYE???

I am pretty sure they sell a lot of DYE stuff, but i thought action could get most things includeing DYE in for you.
This would be my order of by things...personally.
Good pair of paintball pants, is a lot more benfitical the a jersey...to start off with.
Googles > Pants > Jersey > Then harness and Pods > Marker :D

Action dont deal with dye any more.
Platinum does.
Check out the Redz Gear as well, they have cool stuff, (pack & pads and stuff)

For the marker check out the Dragun t.e.s which action will or do have I believe. $400 or under retail i read. If your after somethign more upmarket action or platinum will have an array of markers now or soon. Get a good set of goggles, profilers, invisions, proteus's etc. A pack the Redz ones are good. Then pants and jersey in whichever order you prefer. The JT tournament pants are nice, and jerseys are all pretty similar just go with one you like the look of.

Can anyone help me out? (i like the whole $90 a case thing!!!)

Also, with the laws being changed, does that mean, you can take your marker home now??? once you have applied for a licence? And have the required storage facility?

We will have heaps of Dye gear (IN STOCK!) in a couple of weeks including the new DM4s...................................
