I have an assembled one from Cinemaquette. So ... What does this mean exactly? They are going to be shipping out a replacement part with tools and instructions? I have no idea how to do that, that's why I paid a grand to have one professionally assembled. Is this an easy fix? What exactly is a grip end? Is that the butt plate? So everyone is getting one eventually regardless of distributor you bought from?
Kinda confused by this. Thanx.

It just means you'll be receiving a new butt plate with an Alan wrench...it's two screws my friend I think you can handle it!! Hey...you get a free butt plate in case the other is ever damaged!?!

Oh okay. Lol. 
Man, they are crazy perfectionist aren't they? I think the butt plate looks awesome what's wrong with it!? Lol.

I think its cool that they are willing to send out the updated part...most companies would just shrug it off and hope no one noticed...cheers to Tomenosuke... great customer satisfaction!!!

Not much really wrong with the butt plate. From what I can see with the one I received, the paint job was not properly centred.... there is an uneven width showing of metal edge around the black painted area of the bottom of the butt plate. I am guessing that this is their issue...not sure. Not really fussed myself....like Darth said...still get a free butt plate as spare or for other PKD gun projects.
Just the vid if you haven't seen it yet.
Set the video to highest res and should be good as pictures...

Pretty cool video. Interesting how different manufacturers finish the guns their own way. I'm new to the blaster fever, but there's a lot of cool looking features on the gun that are purely aesthetic, right? A bolt type lever on a revolver? The green LEDs never light up either? Never saw them lit in the movie. Two triggers? Very nice workmanship on this thing. Whoever was lucky enough to get one is going to have a hard time putting it down for a while.
Exactly right, lots of nonsensical aesthetic features and people have lots of fun trying to explain how it all was supposed to work. What it did was convey a familiar sense of the old film noir detective's trusty revolver, with a twist of future tech we don't understand but it all looks like it belongs there. That is the brilliance of the prop.
Green LEDs are pretty much thought to never have been functional during the film. Some say there is a slight green glow at times but I think that is just the LEDs catching some light.
Hell the red LEDs seemed to not work properly at times.

Thanks for posting that Cessna!! That video is better than any photos. I don't think I can wait, I may have to pay my blaster off early. Man that thing is gorgeous!!!!!! I am so happy I was able to get in.

At least you're getting one! I missed the boat entirely. Hope the Takagi is close to as good so I don't do something stupid and get boned on eBay for a Tomenosuke.
