Blade Runner Blaster news: model kit version of the Tomenosuke Blaster is coming

I'm crossing my fingers for you guys. Hard. If you prove successful in getting them back you might well end up being prop heroes, because you have set a precedent and example that will resonate if other props are seized in the future. Best of luck to you!
 
wow, just got response from the German EMS customer service : my blaster is lost in the German customs :(:eek:cry - unbelievable.
I hope, I will get a replacement after this mess is sorted out
 
Hope it gets sorted out quickly for you !. Very anxious time... I remember in 2010, I had a Rich Coyle Blaster go "missing" at the Sydney (Australia) airport during customs stage of it's voyage...The carrier were declaring it 'lost & missing' after two days or so "missing", but I insisted they keep looking for it.... After 3 days the parcel was found OK... they found it located inside the carrier's (FedEx) Holding Depot building next to the airport or something. The Blaster then safely continued on it's journey outside of Australia into the USA to the buyer.

I can threaten someone with something that's "brick-like". Or "fist-like". Stupid, stupid law.

Glad to hear it has been repealed!
 
My Blaster should finally be on it's way to me. Today I received an apology from custom for their delay, and the faults in this process that was caused by them. And They have removed the fee I would had to pay for their service. It should be here within the next couple of days.

So, I just bit the bullet and ordered one. I was really worried they'd sell out before I was able to save up enough. The price stung a bit, but not compared to some other kits or fully built versions. Happy birthday to me! This will be my first (and only) BR blaster. Can't wait to put it together.
 
Today I finally got the kit:)
As an added bonus I also got the black grips and other parts to make a police version. Not sure what to do with these. I plan on having it build as a normal Deckard hero version.
 
Trial and error. :lol The screws are grouped by button head sockets, flat head sockets, countersunk phillips and slot head machine screws. Follow the instructions which call these out by type, M number (mm diameter) and length. If metric isn't your thing have a metric ruler to hand. According to the instructions there are four M2 L4 phillips screws but I had two M2 L4s and two that were shorter; I used those to fix the Ejector Rod Block into the frame, part 35; they seem correct for that. (Note it is fitted from the INSIDE of the two flanges on the rear of the frame, but really there's only one way to do it).



You should have seven pins with your kit. The three large pins are used for the two triggers and the lower attachment of the grip frame to the frame. They are all the same size. The others are all small, and different - they are for the ejector, the hammer, the thumb catch and the "hand" of the rear trigger.

First insert the brass tubes AKA part 61, 'trigger collar' into each trigger. These tubes each retain a spring of the same design but a different weight (and if someone can tell me which spring is which I'd be really grateful. Currently I have the heavier spring in the rear trigger but I'm not sure that's correct at all.)

For the front trigger, fit the Cylinder Stop part along with the spring by inserting the collar. For the rear trigger just fit the spring - you will need at least three hands for this. Then attach the Hand, part 39, to the rear trigger. Note the small pin for this has to be pressed into the Hand - you'll need grips for this and it works best done from the inside rather than the outside as suggested by the instructions. The Hand also retains a spring, no mistaking that one but get it the right way around. Now you can fit both triggers into the receiver using the pins. These need force to be pressed into place.

For the thumb switch the smallest pin (really tiny, has two diameters) and spring fit inside the small hole that faces the main screw which holds it onto the body of the gun and are retained by that screw. The whole deal attaches via, on the inside of the frame, a small brass collar which inserts into the ABS and on the outside the large washer. Then the screw and the smaller oval washer finish the job. Fit the pin and spring first. They're shown over on the right on diagram 4 - but it's really not clear where the hell they go till you look at the exploded view. Disclaimer; I haven't got all this right yet and it doesn't work properly. :lol



It's larger than I expected, too. I don't have a Sid but this is a bit bigger than a Rick Ross. Couple of mms taller, receiver is about 7mm longer, grips are bigger.

Nice explanation on the triggers, I am having an issue with the hammer, it's not firing right. All that's happening is I pull the trigger, hammer goes back and that's it, it doesn't release. I understand the spring in the handle puts pressure on the hammer. How do you install the hammer so it releases?
 
Boy, you guys are making me nervous. Has anyone by chance made an English manual or a video tutorial? I guess I'll just have to see for myself when I get mine.
