I think the pamphlet said somewhere around 180,00 yen, a bit pricey for all of us. They gave such little information I don't think it is going to be out for a bit, but anyways. OMG!!!!

That is insane, especially for an AEG. I guess our dreams of a cheap reliable mp40 aren't going to be fufilled...

I really doubt it'll end up being that much. Marui isn't known for making AEGs that cost an arm and a leg. I remember when the M14 was being talked about and it was believed it'd be an expensive rifle but look at it now. I can get a new Marui M14 for $300ish. Hopefully the same thing happens with the Mp40. I have quite a few friends that would get into the WWII thing if they could do a German Impression with a good weapon ;-)

As excited as I am about the prospect of Marui releasing an mp-40, i'm apprehensive.
Firstly, Marui has no information hinting towards an mp-40 on their website, or promotional items at any recent japanese hobby show. Usually they have some sort of poster before they even have a mock-up on display. Also, it seems strange to me that no Hong Kong websites have any information on this: I think Marui announcing that they are planning on making an mp-40 would be big news. Also, I could swear I saw the same promotional picture for the top mp-40 a year or so ago (of course without the japanese writing, warning, etc), so I feel like this could be some clever joke, with a little help from photoshop. Finally, the fact that Evike, of all places, would have Marui promotional pamplets before anyone else sounds extremely fishy.
On the other hand, possibly SRC's statement that they will have an mp-40 out in december has persuaded Marui to finally make an mp-40. I remember several years ago, with the release of Marui's M1A1, there was talk that Marui would make an mp-40 to go along with it. However, when the initial sales of the Thompson were slow, they were spooked and decided to scrap the project. So, just maybe, Marui has been sitting on plans for several years to make the mp-40, and with SRC about to make one, they decided to give them a little competition.
If this is some type of "October Fool's" joke, mauser98k, congrats because I've fallen right into it. However, if its not, I'll have my fingers crossed that Evike isn't playing some type of joke.

The Tokyo Marui MP40 is a replica of the German Wehrmacht Schmeisser machine pistol that was regarded as one of the best submachine guns ever designed. This famous WWII German SMG ... the MP40 is made entirely from stamped sheet metal just like the real version. The folding metal stock is quite heavy, and is actuated by a large button at the rear of the receiver. Most of the internal hardware is constructed from metal, including the nozzle and cylinder - which is a departure from the plastic bellows-type cylinders found on other TOP AEG's. The gun is powered by a 9.6v AUG-style battery stored in the receiver just above the trigger. Very authentic look and feel. If you're looking for an authentic WW-II classic then the TOP Maschinenpistole 40 Schmeisser is just about as perfect a replica as you can own.
This is from airgundepot.com Did they forget to change the brand name half way through the paragraph??
