Title: Gearbox store hours
Post by: searscr on August 29, 2007, 01:38:10 PM: Does anybody know the hours of operation for The Gearbox, formerly JT? And will they be open on Monday?
Title:
Post by: Nil8r on August 29, 2007, 06:01:32 PM: We're open Monday through Saturday, 12pm - 7pm. Closed on Sundays.

We'll make an announcement on the official opening of the store once we get all of our new merchandise in stock towards the second week of September. We're currently open now, but it's mostly older JT stuff that we kept with a few higher end parts and items scattered through the store.

Post by: Native_Airsoft on August 29, 2007, 06:20:27 PM: Props for Ron for turning the old JT into a great store (Or, it will be a good store).
Title:
Post by: Sergeant First Class Keenan on August 29, 2007, 07:26:00 PM: Yeah congrats Rob! I'll be stopping in soon. :D

Post by: Nil8r on August 30, 2007, 05:55:38 PM: Jungletoy no longer exists in Arizona. All of their stores are gone from this state.

Hey Ron, are you going to be selling higher end stuff; more AEXish or go for the same ol' JT merchandise?
Title:
Post by: Native_Airsoft on August 30, 2007, 06:28:21 PM: They're going to carry CA, ECHO1, and other better airsoft replicas. Along with better tactical gear, and batteries. Or, at least that's as far as my knowledge goes on the matter of better items.

I know they won't hold the JT items though.
Title:
Post by: Sergeant First Class Keenan on August 30, 2007, 06:47:06 PM: Ron is the man. I'll stand behind his shop 100%! from the first time I met him he bent over backwards to get me started in airsoft. And think about the doesn't just sell stuff, he also goes to the field and uses it. That alone says alot. I know were my money will go when it comes to Airsoft.

And now he'll be carring more high end guns and gucci gear what more can we ask for?

Post by: Morgann0 on August 30, 2007, 07:25:50 PM: Right on man! I'll have to check it out sometime, no matter the drive.

Post by: deathbydanish on September 03, 2007, 10:04:36 AM: Will the store's square footage expand or will it stay the same?

Post by: babybackribs on September 03, 2007, 11:19:26 AM: Do you guys have gas yet?

We just took over the former JT location, it's not in our lease to tear out walls and physically expand the interior. However it looks MUCH bigger now than it did due to the fact that we got rid of a bunch of the trash and clutter around the store from it's JT days.

We've always had gas in stock. Green, Red, and 134a.

Post by: Bow-tie Assasin on September 08, 2007, 11:02:24 AM: Now for the important question... Is the soda machine coming back?!?!
Title:
Post by: Vince on September 08, 2007, 01:27:28 PM: That thing was a piece of shit. There's a fridge with sodas for sale now, though.
Title:
Post by: Ganef on September 08, 2007, 01:56:49 PM: If you cant walk 100ft to get a soda at taco bell you realy shouldnt be drinking soda.

Got arcade games set up instead of a soda machine.
Title:
Post by: Bow-tie Assasin on September 08, 2007, 04:12:23 PM: calm down, The sodas were cold and it was convenient. But the fridge will do!

That thing was a piece of s***. There's a fridge with sodas for sale now, though.

JT kept sending so much crap to them that got stuck in any available space. That thing didnt have any breathing room so the compressor burned out.

Post by: Kilo11 on September 09, 2007, 12:56:32 AM: i went their today, the place has improved SO MUCH, keep up the good work guys!!!!!!!!!!
Title:
Post by: Firebert on September 09, 2007, 01:38:45 AM: Do you want a 2nd arcade? :)
Title:
Post by: SimplisticMindz on September 10, 2007, 12:46:50 PM: Just to post my two cents worth, I am an airsoft newbie, kind of, I got into the spring loaded ones about seven years ago when they first started popping up and haven't done anything with them until recently.

Anyway, Gearbox is awesome becasue of Ron, his cusotmer support rocks and his Airsoft knowledge is tremendous.

Definitely worth the drive!
Title:
Post by: Mooncruiser on October 15, 2007, 03:58:52 PM: Good Luck, Ron. Did Jeremiah come over with you?

I'll stop by in a few. I see JT is only in CA, KS and Okiehoma..Kansas and Okiehoma (!)

Chip
Title:
Post by: Nil8r on October 15, 2007, 05:23:19 PM: Jeremiah is one of our qualified AEG technicians. He hasn't been coming in very often, mainly just working from home. Great to hear from you Chip!
Title:
Post by: Pheonix 797 on October 15, 2007, 06:10:49 PM: Ditto to what was said, Ron is as standup as they come and a great example of what represents the Airsoft community in AZ.

Grats on finally getting away from JT ;-p

Well look at who just showed up! What the hell! Where have you been! I miss chasing you down trying to make sure tunnel vision didn't bite you in the ass :P

This guy has a lot of heart 8)

You too Chip, try not to be a stranger huh.

Oh and shop Gearbox, lol.
Title:
Post by: BATMAN on October 18, 2007, 06:13:52 PM: Well, Gearbox certainly has my 100% support... but the irony just kills me:
When I first got into airsoft, JT's walls were covered with Marui's, CA's, and ICS's, but as soon as I got a job there, all those guns came down and crappy Chinese guns went up. I sold those for about a year and a half, JT closed down, I got a new job, then Gearbox opens up with the good stuff again... and now I don't have time to airsoft anymore! :? Go figure. Oh well, at least I get to build battery packs for airsoft every once in a while. :)

That Tempe store is a great location; it's nice to see it looking so good. Keep up the great work, Ron!

Post by: AirsoftBen on October 20, 2007, 01:51:59 PM: Was just in there to check it out and have Ron take a look at one of my guns. I couldn't recommend them more. Great looking store with a good selection of gear.

Thanks Ron for your help, was well worth the drive.

Post by: Altered_Soul on October 23, 2007, 04:30:44 PM: Holy crap...

I just moved to Arizona, and I was just starting to search for local shops. Little did I know that literally right across the street from me there is a community-loved shop. Are you guys up and operational yet? I can walk to your location, and if you guys are open right now, I would love to stop by and talk, and start dropping money soon ;).
Title:
Post by: XavierMace on October 23, 2007, 04:47:39 PM: Yes they are open and you can walk in.
Title:
Post by: -MAD- SARGE on October 23, 2007, 04:48:22 PM: Yes they are offically open now and I think the hours are still the same as here.

Quote from: "Nil8r"
We're open Monday through Saturday, 12pm - 7pm. Closed on Sundays.

Post by: Raith on October 24, 2007, 12:18:43 AM: It will also be closed this Friday and Saturday because of Operation Balkan Hammer.

Post by: airsofting4god on December 27, 2007, 07:50:58 PM: does The new store have a web site?
Title:
Post by: -MAD- SARGE on December 27, 2007, 08:37:46 PM: Not yet, but Ron is working on developing one for the future.
Title:
Post by: Schwer_Punkt_91 on December 27, 2007, 08:57:38 PM: These boys rock. It may not sound like a big deal, but he gave me a discount on a battery box and dump pouch and then threw in a few connectors I needed for soldering.

It's great to have them there.

I suggested they stock some com equipment and Ron said he would work on it.
Title:
Post by: morugatu on December 27, 2007, 09:32:36 PM: Yeah, they certainly are a great bunch of guys. :)
Title:
Post by: BLKKROW89 on December 31, 2007, 10:43:43 AM: are they open new years eve?
Title:
Post by: morugatu on December 31, 2007, 10:50:06 AM: Call their store number and ask. They open at 12p.m. usually, so call around that time.
Title:
Post by: SilverLogic on December 31, 2007, 12:32:53 PM: I would like to thank Gearbox Especially Ron for the exceptional work he did on my M4. When APD turned me down because it "was" a SRC he was glad to work on it.

Thanks Gearbox!

P.s It's not SRC anymore :P
Title:
Post by: Nil8r on December 31, 2007, 12:34:11 PM: We're open on the 31st from 12pm to 7pm, but we'll be CLOSED on Tuesday, (New Year's Day) January 1st.

Title:
Post by: Ares on February 04, 2008, 07:37:28 PM: do you guys have methods for removing orange paint? i dont think i can buy a KJW M9 online without getting a pistol with orange paint on the end of the slide and frame.

have any KJW beretta's right now? if so, are the slide and frame painted?
Title:
Post by: Nil8r on February 05, 2008, 09:27:03 PM: Yes we have Full Metal KJW M9's in stock. They feature either a non-painted orange plastic outer barrel (we have black or silver replacement metal barrel assemblies available) or an orange plastic cap glued to the end that is also easily removable.
Title:
Post by: Ares on February 05, 2008, 09:43:18 PM: any of them with adjustable hop ups? or maybe even Vertec models with adjustable hops?

Post by: Nil8r on February 05, 2008, 10:51:16 PM: I'll hold it for you, but only because of your gunsite.com avatar. ;)

Title:
Post by: Nil8r on February 08, 2008, 08:02:28 PM: Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback! Next time you come in mention that you post here. :)
Title:
Post by: Kileyhaz on February 09, 2008, 05:58:57 PM: I dropped into the gearbox today to see the place for the first time, say hi to Nil8r and meet SARC. Wow, awesome place, good to see they are running a healthy number of folks through there (and Nil8r's customer service was refreshing as well).

Also wanted to mention I saw Ganef and some of his wears there... Awesome stuff man, you should be proud of the quality your putting out and the awesome portfolio you have at the gearbox to order from. [smilie=armata_pdt_34.gif]

Post by: Bishop on February 09, 2008, 07:03:00 PM: I stopped in today to get some information on my new bolt action rifle today. Great level of knowledge and you can definitely feel everyoneâ€™s enthusiasm for the sport. GearBox has my business before anyone else.
Title:
Post by: SARC on February 10, 2008, 01:52:27 PM: As I have said before and will always say Gearbox Airsoft Rocks!
Title: Commo Gear?
Post by: Schwer_Punkt_91 on February 11, 2008, 07:12:14 PM: Commo gear? Got any in yet... Headsets? What about (I think they call them) security ear pieces [ear plug with the clear coil that wraps the ear] that fit family band radios?

Would love to pick up a few before Red Dagger.

Thanks Guys!
Title: Re: Commo Gear?
Post by: Vince on February 11, 2008, 08:12:29 PM: Quote from: "Schwer_Punkt_91"
security ear pieces

You don't want that, and they don't carry it.

Ron can probably get you the Rolls Royce of wannabe airsoft gear, the Cavalvy Toto-2 headset.
Title:
Post by: Sergeant First Class Keenan on February 14, 2008, 10:33:28 AM: Support your local airsoft dealer! Buy Gearbox or Die! lol :D Ron's shop is the only place I go and the only place I recomend to people I know. Gearbox Owns
Title:
Post by: Striker on February 15, 2008, 12:55:20 AM: I kinda wish we had a local store down in Tucson. :(
Title:
Post by: Marlon on February 18, 2008, 11:31:31 PM: I am a noob at Airsoft. I went to Sports Authority and they recemended Jungle Toys. I go there and it's Jungle Toys, not Gearbox. Did they just not get to changing the sign? And when will it be open?
Title:
Post by: Nil8r on February 19, 2008, 12:04:31 AM: We are open, and have been for a while. It still says Jungletoy on the sign out front because (A) it's expensive to change, and (B) because that's how we're still listed in the phone book and online due to the previous JT contracts. It'll be getting changed over to the new Gearbox sign as soon as those expire.

I hope of course you're talking about our store on McClintock and Southern; if you mean the other JT location on 35th Ave and Northern than that store will never open again due to lack of payment on Jungletoy's part. We have no interest in opening that one back up.
Title:
Post by: Marlon on February 19, 2008, 01:22:28 AM: Yes, thats the one. I went Sunday but it was closed :( I'm planning on heading over this Saturday. Do you have Bio BBs, and/or any good MP5s?

You guys are only like 2.3 miles from me.
