Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

The limited edition Tokyo Marui rifles are quite collectable. The XM177 isn't one of them as it was a normal run AEG back in the day. Have a look at the GOLGO 13, Burns M653, AK Spetsnaz or any of the resident evil pistols.

The Burns rifle is an interesting one. It came in 2 flavours, fixed or sliding stock and the story goes it was released after the movie Platoon and was meant to be the main character "Barnes" rifle but somewhere along the line someone messed up the translation. The AK is just a AK Beta Spetsnaz without a stock but this was released at a time when there wasn't 500 Chinese clones.

Wasn't that the Alpha spetsnaz?

The beta was just the generic mass produced version with the stock.

I've got both the Burns rifles as well but never bought the Golgo when it was first released and seeing the price of them now makes we wish I had. Sadly only got the 1 resident evil pistol which is the chrome sig 226 with the extended mag

 
Just seen that in the classified. 

Came straight here.... didn't disappoint... haha. 

£800?.... I think he's looking for his next fix of what ever the hell he's been sniffing.... 

Then trying to justify it's a classic.

Well I've still got my original TM XM177 springer......  

To you, a mere $1m dollars. It has a sleek design. That old classic TM creak, that gets all the old players sweaty with dread. Was that creak or crack, my back or the gun. 

It's features more plastic than cher. 

It even features a drop down handle, which has you biting your lip, not in excitement. But in stiffness and the thought of breaking it if pulling too hard.... 

 
Pretty much full price for a two tone discontinued gun where spare parts are hard to get, no pics of the eotech to tell if it's started to delaminate (or even a genuine one) and when you read the advert half the stuff in the picture isn't included in the price 




 
People really sell a discontinued gun as "ultra rare OOP not many of these left ££££s" when they should really be valued as "you will curse the bastard who sold you this when you find the first broken, proprietary part in it with no hope of buying another."

That's all about demand. There is a term in  some car communities "rare but nobody cares". There are only like 36 Ferrari GTOs in the world hence they are the most expensive car in the world. There are less than a dozen Austin Allegros on the road no one gives a shit. There are some airsoft guns people will pay stupid money for but most will eventually become worthless.
