By posting that, what is your point? Are you saying you want to return it, or you want replacement grips? You keep saying you want new grips, right?
If you just want to return it, you can return the item to HCG, there is no disputing that. You are welcome to return it, but if the whole batch has the same issue, there is no returning it with hopes of HCG sending a replacement that will make you happy. If you want replacement grips, Tomenosuke will have to handle that.
And with that, I will let customer service answer your concerns. I am just trying to give some answers for you but it is really not why I am here, plus you seem to be very frustrated and don’t seem to care for some of my answers. :thumbsup
After having this a while, I love it. The option or possibility of sending it back, I don’t think I can do. I’ve waited too long hAhah.
I do hate to be the jerk and add fuel to the fire but I did notice one thing:

Theres a flash line right at top. This definitely takes away from the prop :cry do all have this there, just this possible run, or it’s mine only? Don’t know but maybe it can be fixed *fingers crossed*
Some minor knicks in the front end metal too, but that’s not much of an issue with me. I’ll be having it re-done in a WorldCon style.
Also, did anyone have some weird reddish markings on the top of the recive near the two slotted screws?

And with regards to spare parts, I don't believe Tomeosuke keep spares. I had a damaged box with my order and after not getting much help from HCG, I emailed Mune at Tomenosuke who confirmed that they had no spare boxes and had to wait for this next run for a replacement
The spare box is not a spare part. A new 2049 blaster is officially licensed now and Tomenosuke will produce thousands of them. There is a reason why it's still available at HCG store. It's not limited anymore. I do believe Tomeosuke keep spares.
Spare boxes for the November batch were sent by Tomenosuke. Those who had issues with that batch should be getting their replacements soon. They were already shipped those out last week.
Please note, only those who had an issue and reported it back in November/December are getting replacement boxes. Mune only made a few extra boxes, enough to cover those replacements. Any box damages from this new run will be handled by Tomenosuke and I am not sure if they planned for this by making extras or not. The may or may not have. I just want to be clear on that so people don’t assume we have a bunch of extras now sitting around.
HCG should inspect blasters before shipping.
This is not going to be a message easily answered with a solution. Tomenosuke will need to be contacted and then customer service will need to wait to hear back from them about the situation. So please have some patience and allow HCG to get answers from Tomenosuke.
This is my first attempt at bluing and scruffing up on something as expensive as this but I'm quite'ish happy with the result and can also re-do it which modellers curse I suppose. But just take your time and decide how you're going to approach it, that being said I've no idea what your skill level is at so you'll probably smash it out the park mate :thumbsup
