minicar: whats is the difference from the invert mini and empire mini. which one is better. And is one of these the 08 mini? if not when is the 08 mini coming out.What is the difference from the invert mini and empire mini?No difference, Empire is the new parent company/distributor, so it's usually just a co-branded version of the Invert Mini with Empire grips and cosmetic touches, so the Mini is the same either way. It's usually just called the Invert Mini. They are great makers, though, and you will love the size, weight, and performance. They are equal to many high-end, $1,000 markers. Here's Empire's site: http://www.empirepaintball.com Invert's http://www.invertpaintball.com/ And some reviews, but beware of unqualified newb reviews : ) http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews鈥?/a> Don't know when/if an official 08 version of the Mini is coming out- they really don't need to change/upgrade anything, so the same Mini from 07 may just sell as an 08 Mini, with no year before it. You can e-mail them if you want to check.What is the difference from the invert mini and empire mini?Yep, they're the same, and really sweet. I have one that I use as a backup mostly but sometimes a primary in recreation playing and tournaments, and it's super-nice. Pick one up, man!
