Recently i have been able to buy a bunch of Bats on ebay for cheap. The common denominator linking them is that they are all missing their yellow belts. Out of the 15 i bought recently they were all listed minus the belts. DOes anyone know why the belts on the bats are such a hot commodity? I dont mind cause i have 5 reg. bats for the front of my army display. these beltless bats are going to fill the ranks in the back. but why the no belts?????????????? my moustache is tingling with conspiracies.

I'm pretty sure they were factory overrun from China. Figures that made it off the assembly line, but never made it into a package, hence no accessories. They've been on Ebay for months.
Also, "my moustache is tingling with conspiracies." Just had to reiterate that because it's great! |

thats what i figured, but i bought 3 diff. lots from 3 diff. sellers in 3 diff. countries and they all are beltless. i cant imagine bat belts are the most sought after custom part. or are they?

nah these bats are legit (technically) they were yoinked from the factory by some of our chinese friends. I got a set of 10 of them for like i think it was 15$ at the time . out the 10 one actually had a belt . lol so what i did to use them was just trim the yellow part from the holster .

These bats are legit. They were available a few weeks before retail.

Yep just some factory worked swiping things off the lines. The rest of the accesories probably came from a different factory.
