Agreed. I'm surprised he is dumping the hard case. That's one of the best features. Of course, folks will have no problem buying a similar case, but I loved the convenience of my gun arriving with the case included.

I put myself on the wait list with EdgunWest in December for the 0.25. Now after seeing this update, I'm glad I purchased the Cricket instead. The thing that initially sold me on the Leshiy was the gun with included case and all metal construction. The weight savings for me just don't justify using plastic instead. It is negligible on an already light gun. The fact that now they don't include a hard case but you pay the same price will have me canceling my preorder. I'd rather have had an updated trigger with two stages rather than a plastic trigger guard and buttstock. My own opinion anyways. The gun will perform the same. Just not for me in this second gen configuration.

There will be limited edition in silver and gold anodizing with the hard case, but the price will be higher due to the rouble/euro exchange range and I have nothing to do with it

The case is a pease of crape it don't fit the gun if you have on the 350 barrel kit also you can buy the same case at harbor freight tools for $39 same one so don't let that stop you I just got my edgun leshiy and I love it I have daystate, fx, brocock, and edgun and I think it's the same quality as the rest it's a great little gun I had my doubts to till I got one and the new Digital gauge is amazing it is also very expensive a better trade off then the hard case and the but stock is really good quality not just cheap plastic very strong just my opinion as a new owner very impressed with the quality.

I have a gen 2 leshiy with .177/.22 barrels. love the little thing. not coming with a hard case was a bummer. But to be honest a better hard case can be picked up for $30. And the change to plastic stock is not an issue with the gen 2. Plastic can be a very strong material.

Take some time to consider the changes, and you will see that the feel, balance and weight of the gun have been altered for the better. Just because it's metal ( Aluminium ) does not make it better. Think of what you will use it for and it is a little beauty, just wished they offered a 350mm option with choice of calibers this side of the pond. You guys do not know how lucky you are. ENJOY.
