New Tomenosuke Blaster Pro "Retail" version
- Thread starter staermose
- Start date
The kit for 1200$ is still avaible on ebay.
But I´m not a fool...I´m waiting for a new kit in the near future.I think it could be a sign for a new run,that so manny Tomenosuke Blasters are on ebay now.
When they are releasing a newer and better kit...bad times for avaricious ebaysellers!

I thought Iv'e kept up with this. lets see Iv'e heard of a rubber version coming soon. price unknown? this retail version. $2000.00 I think was stated. as far as another kit. were was that mentioned? I have one single grip from a tomenosuke that I nabbed off of the bay.to see first hand how far off the off world is I have. very disappointing. I wish another kit would be made. I would try my best to save to get one.
I am sorry to say, as far as I understand it, they ONLY do short one time runs, so they did 300 kits and they will not be doing another kit run.
To do so will be breaking their implied word: IE 1 of 300.
To do so would harm their standing with collectors and lower the next's run value.
I would not wait for another kit run from them.

Dear sir. I owned one of your worldcon blasters until, under protest, I was forced to sell it. I have never gotten over it's loss. I would sigh with pride and appreciation every time I looked at it. I have just joined this site specifically to thank you for the years of your life that you dedicated to it's creation. It was a wonderful thing that you did. I have just bought the very Tomenosuke kit for $1200 on Ebay that is being discussed in this thread. Of course it will not have the depth of character that does your exquisite work of art, but with love, patience, and perhaps a little skill, I can finish it to a standard that will go some way to filling the hole left by yours. Again, dear sir, I thank you.

I have just, and I mean about an hour ago, bought that very kit. If you consider that the postage was free, and the seller was willing to "help" me with duty (which would have been colossal as I live in rip-off Britain), Then the price of $1200 isn't really too bad. I just hope to god that a) it arrives, and b) I can finish it to the level that my ocd's demand.

Do not go gently into that dark night. Rage! rage against the dying of the light.

I know there were some in the UK that had trouble getting these kits through customs. I hope you don't run into similar issues.

Dear sir. May I ask, I understand that the barrel is plastic but I have heard that the frame and cylinder are also plastic, is this true?.

No sir, not yet. As the postage was free, I would feel very uncomfortable asking the seller to send three packages. Also, if something happens to one of them I still won't have a blaster. I don't feel that I have any choice now but to trust it to fate. It's going to be a very long and nerve wracking wait. I kept my Coyle in a glass cabinet and at a certain part of the day the light would hit the grips and they would glow an absolutely gorgeous amber. It's the thing I remember most about it, and another area in which I think that yours is superior to any other. God, I miss that gun.
Yes with this model the Bulldog, barrel, cylinder are all plastic.
I wish you luck, but if you can try for at lease two packages sent a few days apart.
I fear from what has happen in the past with this very model, it is your only hope.
A few got though and a few got caught.
Best of luck.
