TM Glock 17 gen5 mos

https://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/new/#productsNew-Calendar    Here's the link. The reason I'm saying it is, as far as I know TM doesn't directly supply retailers, but ships to distributors who then sell to stores. It's likely a distributor had leftover g17.4 and g18c they didn't sell originally which were now sent to stores (and TM didn't say anything about new shipments)

Who knows man.  If you go by that calender though, the Gen 5 was released in 2023 but none were shipped...  Neither were any shipped in 2024 that I can see...So something isn't right.

All we have to go is multiple retailers saying more were shipped from the manufacturer and they were taking pre orders.  Presumably from the distributor.

I always interpreted it as a “production calendar”. maybe that’s wrong, but it logically made sense to me. they ear marked November 2023 (or whenever it was) to produce the Gen5. By the time it was despatched to retailers, it was January. They then ear marked 

Most of the gen5s will have gone to the Japanese market before being opened to international distributors.
 

As far as I can tell from the TM website, there’s been no batch of gen5s this year. It’s probably residual stock they’re trickling out to distributors.

 
From point of release in Japan to us getting them in the UK is usually 3 - 6 months. In that time period, no more new G17.5 batches have made in the scope of that timetable.

Gen 5 MOS were released in Japan December 2023, first ones arriving in the UK were February 2024 - so they were the December 2023 batch of production. The only glocks shipped by TM for 2024 were the G19.4's in April. Prior to that, the last G17's (gen 3) prior to that were in May 2023, the last G17.4 reference was back in April 2023. 

These gen 4's are probably from that or older batches. There is no mythical new batch, its just old stock.

Have you spoken to your source recently?  They're still very much saying no new TM Glocks huh?

 
I had a Gen.5 for a few months or so and I sold it because it's just another glock at the end of day. I understand that when you crave it it seems way better then what it is but I think it's extremely overhyped/overrated. ?‍♂️

TM G19 Gen3 & Gen4 about to be released.

These are not residual stocks from distributors (like the G17 Gen4 and G18C). These are newly produced batches. TM has sent the release / order sheets a couple of days ago.

TM official website release calendar has not been updated, that is all.

TM G17 Gen5 will come up some day, like nothing happened.

Reason of the "delay" is said to be the plastic materials price increase. Lots of other toy makers had such issues lately.

 
Now this begs the question does this prove this was a new batch, or were these kept in the warehouse *because* of this and someone just forgot or okay’d it to be sent out

 
Look forward to see them showing up in Macks tread.  Rare custom Khyber pass Glock 19.

 
In case people have missed it.

guarder have been busy posting updates on new gen5 upgrades. Their lightweight BBU will be less that 10g ?

I reckon we’ll see complete new generation lowers with trades by the end of the year.

i also reckon it will be quicker to buy and assemble a complete guarder kit than wait for Marui to reproduce a gen5.

the last 2 gen4s I’ve built have been complete guarder builds and they’re almost drop in kits. So I imagine the gen5 will be similar.View attachment 145606View attachment 145607View attachment 145608
