For anyone who is confused about the Toasters, let me set the record as I understand it straight:

The reason behind them is when you buy and ArmaLite rifle you already get everything AND the kitchen sink.

ArmaLite has no other option but to start giving away appliances too.

Sure beats the paperweight of a rifle you get from many other manufacturers!

Humm... a toaster. Now that's something I did not expect.

From a business point of view, I like the fact that Armalite tried something different. Even if Armalite made a "mistake" in offering a toaster they tried something different. A company that only does the same thing over and over again and does not try new things is a company that is headed for failure.

That said a toaster is not a motivater for me and I will try to explain. A toaster goes in to wife territory - the kitchen. And while my wife is pro 2A she's not inclined to put a gun logoed product on her kitchen counter. For example, my AR15 logoed beer mugs stay in the basement (mancave) area. So it would just go into storage. For a single guy this may be cool since they have control of their kitchen. So while I do not dislike it, I think for me things like an extra free magazine or free optic mount would work better to motivate me.

For those of you who are thinking about an Armalite purchase, I can think of an off the wall reason to buy in to this promotion - I will venture to guess that Armalite will not do another toaster in the future and it will become a collectors item.

I think both cheers and dislikes for this toaster promotion - provided they are stated in a civil constructive manner - are valuable feedback.

AT first I thought...Toaster?????. Then I thought,"ok, it goes with the giving away everything but the kitchen sink" line of thinking. But then I see that it has generated a bunch of talk about the toaster thing because it is such an odd gift to give away with a gun, and I bet people are checking out the Armalite site just to verify the toaster thing.
Buying a gun is such a personal thing, that I really doubt very many buyers are going to get one because of what anyone gives away with it, be it caps, mugs or whatever(could be wrong) . It does generate goodwill and this one has definitely generated conversation about armalite, so I would say job accomplished.Now for me when Uncle Armalite anounces "buy any two armalites and get the third one free."....Then I will definitely be on a spending spree.How about that one , Uncle Armalite?? I can dream.

Now Now,do`nt be so quick to think the wife would dislike a Armalite toaster setting on the counter,a toaster coming from Armalite should work as smoothly as their actions in them Armalite Rifles and when the wifey sees how smoothly the Armalite toaster performs She will more than likely be the happiest person in the world when said husband comes home with another new armalite rifle. :woohoo: :P :laugh:
