Just from what I've seen about this year:

Timmy - many (30%)
Shocker - many (20%)
Angel - many (20%)
Ego - quite a lot, increasing (10%)
E-cockers - quite a lot, but decreasing (10%)

The rest (the other 10%):
Impulse - still a few about
Cyborg - very few
Viking - the odd one here or there
Freestyle - not seen any

These numbers are only rough guesses, and I'm sure other people will have their own ideas on this.

What, no Matrix users in the UK?

As rabies said, maybe slightly fewer timmys and slightly more Egos I would suggest

Alias based timmys 25%
Angels 20%
Shockers 20%
Egos 15%
Cockers 10%

Others, 10% mainly due to difficulty of getting hold of the marker and spares.

Also depends where you play, in the South West you will find less timmys and more Dye/Proto and Angels for instance.

I'd have to ammend that as well


Timmys---20%
Matrix DM3/4/5/proto---20%
Ego---20%
Shockers---15%
Cockers---10%
Angel---10%
Other---5%

Agree with the regional variations, there are a lot more Matrix variations here, oop North, than there are Shockers or Angels

Think everyone is forgetting the Ion too. Theyre just about as popular as any other marker at the moment!!!

Going of what is selling and buying at the monent.

Ego's are on the way up big style, with everything else going down.

Yes, that may be true, but the tread title is "High end markers in the UK?".....

Oops, completely forgot an entire section of the market I stand corrected.

But right now, the Ego is definately edging its way up the list, and will probably displace the timmy at the top of the list at the current rate.
