Since this is retailers discussion as well, I figured I would post this here...I know you guys have probably heard the question a lot...but ah well....
Where are the airsoft shops in Michigan? I only know of 1 and its about 4 hours away from where I live. (I live in Sterling Heights, about 30-45 minutes from detroit.)

There's WTS Mike at Wolverine Tactical (http://www.wolverinetactical.com) by Grand Rapids, and MSS sells airsoft at the Gibralter Trade Shows.
Mods, can we lock and sticky this thread in here, maybe?

Just a quick update to this thread....... now that it is finally unlocked. For those that have been living under a rock and didn't know WTS was bought out by 21CA. We also have a supplier in the northern portions of lower Michigan and rumer has it one in the detroit area. Sport is really growing and teams are jumping up everywhere. Here are the links to the retailers for Michigan so far: www.blackmesaairsoft.com/ G a y l o r d - Proudly serving Northern and Northern Lower Michigan www.21stcenturyairsoft.com/ Grand Haven - Proudly serving Mid-Michigan and Southern Michigan I have heard there is another in the Detroit Area but not sure what the link is or their location. More to follow........... *grin*

Myself and LordGilbon drove out there in July. It was closed then... It seemed odd, at 2:30 PM on a weekday to be closed.
I heard about two months ago from a fellow team mate of mine, that they closed down.

Local retailer in Mount Clemens has joined with local paint ball owner to use outdoor fields for Airsoft. Susan at Big Boys Toys is having team sign up on Dec. 30 -Jan 1 so we can get a count of local teams in the MI Area. We would like to see a Representative from all teams to show up and leave some contact information so we can get a hold of teams for some events. We are opening an airsoft field in 2 different locations. We will be having open play with a fee for the first few weekends to determine if there is going to be some good turnouts. Then eventually will be having big events once a month. What i mean by open play is that teams or individuals show up we make some quick teams and play some airsoft. During team sign ups we will be raffling off a UTG MP5 or the new UTG Master Sniper rifle , winner will chose which one. To get in the raffle you must make a purchase of 5.00 $ or more , come check out the shop . The shop is located at Gibraltars Trade Center in Mount Clemens off of I94 and North river rd exit , north of Metro Parkway (16 mile Rd)
FOR INFO CALL Susan 1-586-909-8109 or Junior (S-System) 1-313-228-3161

So do we have any other shops in the southern Michigan area? Hell I'd be happy with some just over the bored into indiana or ohio too. I went out to 21st in Galesburg and yea its totally gone. I also went to 21st over in Spring Lake, Grand Haven, whatever you want to call it and I dont mean to be a dick but I wasnt that impressed. I was expecting to have it be a real shop with displays and instead it was located in some building called something like South Michigan Roofing or something. I went into a very small office where they lead me back into a machine shop and back in a small corner they had shelfs with guns. They had like a half a dozen or so CA guns new in the box, maybe 2 dozen KWA Glock 19's, a WE hicappa, one SV Wilson Combat 45, a couple HFC berretas and a maybe a couple Mac11's. I planned to buy a Glock 18C, and a CA HK33 that day, had cash in my pocket and they were like o we are out of those. When I asked about when they would have more I was told o well we have like 5 coming in next week.. I said ok cool and I wanted one but the guy said well those are already sold. So I figured owell, fuck it I'll pick up some STAR mags for my M4. They had 1, yes 1 instock. They really need to post the fact none of the shit they list on there page is in stock. It's very misleading. Those prices listed on there home page are not right either. The items I did buy, my 1 Star mag and my tac vest were one price on the website but they charged me almost $20 dollars more for the vest then it listed for online. Someone over at "ArniesAirsoft" also commented that he had placed an order with them and months later they still hadnt gotten there gun and had to do a charge back. I dont mean to be a jerk but it just didnt seem very professional to me. The guys were VERY nice but I just expected so much more from what I saw on the webpage. Hopefully they can open up a retail shop sooner or later with more stock. I'd be glad to go back if they have some stock next time. As for retailers, Youngs Army Surplus in kalamazoo has some TM and KWA stuff. He can order just about anything you like but sometimes you gotta talk him into it. Good for a battery here and there, some bb's or green gas I suppose. The guns are kinda over priced.

Not anymore they don't. The guy who helped me said something about they closed the old shop for some reason and they were working out of that building now. I didnt ask why or anything but I know we were all on the same track because I made the comment so this is ALL the guns you have? If they had a shop they woulda told me because I wanted to look at other products and they just didnt have any in stock.
Not to mention when I was there someone was calling on the phone bitching about wanting to know where his stuff was he placed an order for and still hadnt gotten weeks later.
I'm not shit talking here. I'm just saying I was a bit disappointed with what I saw that day. They should make a note on there webpage so people know they dont have a real shop right now and don't drive 2 and a half hours to see it. Hell I even called and they didnt say anything about not having the guns I was interested in and I know they knew I wanted them because I asked about them in emails and via phone. I was under the impression they HAD the guns I wanted until I got there and they all the sudden didnt.
I'd go back again, sure but hopefully next time they have some more stock.
I dont want to have to order the stuff and wait for it to come. If I wanted to mail order, there are plenty of other shops. I want to go into a shop and see what I'm buying before I drop my cold hard cash.
Please understand, I'm not talking shit here. Just stating it disappointed me.
How hard would it be for them to put up a note and say right now we are between building and are stock is limited. Please call or email before coming.
