The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

 Post subject: OT - Japan-made Hartford Blade Runner Blaster Seller in HK
PostPosted: Tue Oct 14, 2003 10:59 am 
As predicted -- one of the Airsoft shops in Mong Kok, Hong Kong has now the Japanese copy of that nice Blade Runner Blaster I posted on an old Board thread. Retail price converted from HK Dollar roughly US$450. The shop is a larger one, but I'm not sure they have a web site or do overseas orders. Unfortunately -- no images cuz I'm in the middle of upgrading my digital camera -- sold the old one but haven't the replacement camera yet.:)

*** UPDATE ***:

Seller: MMC (Modern Model Company), Mongkok, Hln, H.K.
All sales inquiries to: mail@mmchk.com

That's a little pricey. What they should do is make a fully functional blaster that has electronics in it and shoots blanks. That'd definately be worth $450.

Actually, they use the M29 cap pistol to make it, so "technically" it does fire blanks. :)

And just FYI it's an unliscensed knock off of the RAC Blaster.

Thanks!

Yes Willie. Currently there is one in the showcase window of a certain HK AS seller. If they do mail order -- I will post it here. Wish I could give an image, but currently have no camera to speak of. Cheers! :)

Hi --

Ok. It is available for international orders.

The shop in Mong Kok district Kowloon, Hong Kong which sells the Japanese version (Hartford) of the five shot BR Blaster originating from the UK:

MODERN MODEL COMPANY
Shop 3, G/F., Yan On Bldg.,
1 Kwong Wa Street
Mongkok, Kln., H.K.

Tel: 852-2770-1027
Fax: 852-2771-5026

e-mail: mail@mmchk.com

They inform me that a web site is underway, but inquiries on the BR Blaster from Japan can be sent to the e-mail, and I assume they will instruct interested parties as to details of purchasing it. Perhaps they can also e-mail images of this pistol as well.

:)

Short of an image captured from MMC's showcase (will do when camera in hand), here's what we're talking about:

Unfortunately inaccurate ... I do go through old Hong Kong on the way to other destinations twice per month. There's some talk by my boss that I may wind up moving there. I don't honestly like H.K. very much (too crowded) except for all the cool toys they have there. H.K. has been a source for toy buying for me since I was 5 years old ...

I don't own the Blaster, as that price will get you 90% to a Pulse Rifle Airsoft in HK.

I have a limited resin version of the BR Blaster that comes in a nice wooden patina box with a hook with a plaque on the box. Someone said it was made in Europe some where.

Baldergod -- I will stop by that shop and ask in person as to how you can get one of these and post it here. Cheers!

Excellent, thank you.
Hang around there much, menatarms? (I know I would )

You own one of those puppies, right? Accurate or not ?

PS
Pictures don't work.
