Thumpy Covey's insight:
It is UNDERWAY once again in 2016…Chris Costa is back in the homeland of airsoft, and the sightings, posts and clicks are about to overwhelm the Interwebz once again as they did last year. The 2015 Costa Ludas & Company tour of Japan was well-covered by fans around the world, and reported on via Thumpy’s SCOOP page…yea, we didn’t have WP 2.oh up and running yet… as well as the pre-trip announcements for this year’s Peace Combat et al adventures. The 2016 pose-off turned the ‘web upside down and spawned #costagate as a trending hash’ world wide.

“With all the news happening in airsoft this year such as new technologies that promise to bring our airsoft experience to whole new level, there is something that many airsoft players around the world failed to notice.

Last 8th of June 2015, Tokyo Marui celebrated their golden year as a company at the Hotel New Otani in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The Hotel New Otani is a very famous hotel that…”
