TM Glock 17 gen5 mos

[Cannonfodder]

With this information, how long until TM Glocks start being listed on usedairsoft for triple the normal cost because they’re “rare” ?

Probably about 2 minutes after any official announcement is made

Do you think they would bother to announce anything though?

Most manufacturers will put word out of a new release, I’ve never seen a manufacturer announce that they are discontinuing something

Good point, although if they did it would probably cause quite a few people to rush out and buy one. Similar to the way so many people started panic buying toilet roll and pasta when the news started reporting on shortages during the covid pandemic

Oh dear, it seems I am late to the party, something tells me my "wanted TM Glock 17 Gen 5" post is doomed after reading all of this! ? Oh well, I suppose I can always hold out in hope. I saw them at airsoft world for £163 and had my chance. Umarex it is I guess which I believe to be the next best thing?

This is airsoft gossip based on nothing burger at the moment. 

Marui could rename it to gp17 and remove all of the trademarks and call it a day and/or pay licensing fee to the relevant company. 

Umarex doesn't do much regarding airsoft just outsources the manufacturing to third parties. Mainly VFC. 

The best second thing would be WE because lots of marui parts are interchangeable.

Yeah all fair points. Time will tell I suppose.

keep an eye out on the forums for a second hand ones. Might cost you a bit more than £163 but you’ll get one. 
 

also *if* Impulse 101 honour their orders, you might see a few on the U.K. market in the months coming.

if you’re after a gen5 - GHK might be the best option. They’ve just released a gen5 mos. Easier to get hold of compared to the gen5 Marui. The WE “gen5” systems are just gen3 Marui systems with the gen5 trades.

Yeah I have a wanted ad up just in case so I may get lucky. No dramas if not. 

I saw the ghk ones, look great but not sure they are worth the premium price tag for me personally.

Jez used to be part of a very well known retailer at the time, he has contacts all over the retailers in the UK - if his source says something, it almost certainly is the case.

Thank you, this is pretty much it 

IMO that's irrelevant. If Jez's source has asked not to be named then it's only right that he honours that.

Exactly this, why would I drop a long term friend in it for some random username on a forum I've never dealt with ?

Just be careful, there’s at least one scammer who operates in this forum using wanted ads to target people.

I’ve experienced it twice now where they’ve tried to sell me a Marui gen5 MOS. The red flag is that they want payment in bank transfer or PayPal F&F. Each time as well, they’ve used photos from Google. So reverse image searching will quickly tell you if it’s a scam.

Yes mate, oh don't worry I have been turning in a few already. One even tried using the same MP5k picture as the last one - I suspect he was the same person.

So, I heard back from my source who asked TM directly what's going on with Glocks. TM said there are just production issues in general which are impacting multiple product lines, not just Glocks. TM said there are no issues with licencing and that is a rumour started by a store/distributor that has no involvement with TM and is not to be trusted.

Is TM lying? Possible but doubtful. We'll see I guess.

And I got all that without having to sign a NDA.

In summary, everyone can chill out.

The question is, who is the red pill and who is the blue pill?...

Due to an NDA I couldn’t possibly answer that question ?

Not sure how legit the store as as they aren't the factory

https://www.tokyomaruiairsoft.com I take it? 

Yeah, that's a shop using TM's name without permission and is not to be trusted at all.

Are you ok to release that screenshot? Don't want to get your source in trouble or break a NDA ?

Yeah that definitely isn't my source ? 

 

[hitmanNo2]

Lol. Good. I'd have been surprised if you had bought into what they have to say considering your history.

TM: Re-releasing a variant the same gun line

Internet: Booo!! We want this niche gun instead

TM: Possibility of aforementioned gun line being discontinued

Internet: *shits themselves*
