from what I read on Reddit, tactoys was pinched for interstate sales.
not sure how accurate that is
but that’s what’s swinging around the grapevine 
That is what I have heard too, prior to it doing the rounds on reddit.
Rumour only, totally unfounded and zero evidence. But the did ship to illegal states. So plausible I guess.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the case.
This could be the answer. Date of hearing coincides with the date that the Temporarily closed notice went up
So just became financially unsustainable? Possible?
Probably hadn’t paid their taxes

The owner probably ran off haha.
That’s what it looks like doesn’t it…Mr Taxman might have caught up with them 
Two certainties in life…death and taxes…
Not paying taxes…leads to business death.!!
The tax man is the first creditor to be paid , at 100% outstanding, when a business folds…
People usually send money offshore, and head overseas if they can, when a business is going under…

I looked up what winding up means and other than financial, I didn’t find anything with regards to other legal issues being the cause for the wind up to occur in the first place.
So tax evasion might be the more viable reason or as a cover to hide the real cause.
Who knows.

Makes me wonder if Taccy Toys USA has disappeared also… might have to go do some research 
The US website has disappeared
Cheers, certainly not surprising considering all of the stories that I was hearing from people in the USA regarding their business “standards”.
I thought that, like X-Force, they had a really good opportunity to expand their customer base and profits by cracking into the growing US market.
This could have been very profitable for them if they focused on finding the right business model, good management and customer support through a fresh start in the USA… but no 
they just carried over their shitty practices with their US Outlet and only furthered their shitty reputation with a completely new overseas customer base 
Not sure that the US market is interested in lookalike gel products
Already have a mature aerosoft market. M4a1 tried with one of their principals but didn’t appear to have much success

Yes definitely a hard market to crack, especially when there’s real steel and Airsoft to compete with, hence why Australia was the main focus for Gelbaster Manufacturers.
Believe it or not though, Gelbasters are becoming more popular in the USA simply because of price, less mess than BB’s, less power for kids to enjoy and much more fun in the house/backyard for the whole family compared to Airsoft.
I hate NSW so much haha
WA is fantastic… it’s just the Government that sux!
Here’s why you never trust AI generated resources.
Gelblasters were invented in Austin, Texas and then spread to China/Asia/Australia etc apparently 
I think you’re right… I left a comment on a very recent US review of the BF M14 EBRs, said that I was surprised they weren’t more popular in the US given their patriotic preference for replicas of US based firearms.
He replied that there had been a big downturn in the popularity of gel blasters over there recently.

There are some toy brands trying to claim patent for gel blaster design. Probably making up the definition on any possible internal channels is their tactics. The patent for gelblaster design has driven some other toy brands away already, which is not a good sign. Not a shame to be not the creator… but it’s a shame for those claiming to be the creator while they don’t.
Trying to take credit off other people’s work for profit is a dog act 
Not surprising though in this modern dog eat dog world
