Yes. Also the overall numbers of "high-end sporting springers" sold will be relatively low, so you'll have the Walthers competing for a slice of that market vs the more established (and trusted and known?) Weihrauch, Air Arms and Diana competition.

The prices of some of them won't have helped, either, plus the seemingly awkward parts availability. In the early days of the new LGV, it seemed to receive a bit of a slating over the finish and trigger function and variable quality (some shot beautifully whilst some twanged like the proverbial banjo on amphetamines). The "tuned from the box" image coupled to all these other factors won't encourage the aftermarket goodies suppliers to jump on that particular bandwagon.
