Because its the 1337 SOCOM new toy? People like new things....

I thought WE SCAR is actually cheaper than WE M4?

I'm referring to AEGs only. GBBR have their own pricing category that's different from AEGs.

I meant a drop from the $800 +/- for a VFC or Star for the $350-$500 for DBoys, G&G, CA, etc...

When you can get a high end SCAR, it may have dropped a bit from the prices that were being asked when they were first released, but it's not a considerable decrease. Still, I'll agree that the price has dropped somewhat in the high end arena. It's the low end that's pretty expensive for what you get.

Personally, I don't give a shit how much money I have to play with. I'd utterly refuse to pay that much for a DBoys SCAR. I'd love to get one, but not at these prices. I'd pay the extra $250 and get a VFC instead. Hopefully the SCAR craze will die down somewhat and bring prices down with them.

lol...that's the one

Well from what Ive seen its already started. Someone just let a VFC SCAR-L go for $675 about a month ago. That was a fucking STEAL.

A MK16 is a bit nicer to hold an manipulate than a M4 It's also lighter when you go full metal vs. full metal. Downside is you can't change out as many parts like buttstocks and fore ends, but then maybe you don't need too. Downside in airsoft is the smaller batter compartment so if you want a monster battery it's a Lipo, and not quite as many internal upgrades if you're into that.
