hitmanNo2 Posted December 5, 2024 Share Posted December 5, 2024 Pics show trades. I can't see them advertising pre-orders and than swapping out the product. We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjebus Posted December 5, 2024 Share Posted December 5, 2024 Gen 4 will be released the 12th December. full trades as per the original. Gen 5 will probably happen once this batch is completed and they switch tooling. https://impulse101.jp/en/gbb/tokyo-marui-glock-17-gen4-gbb-4988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njanjic Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 I'm pretty sure this is just a batch a supplier had lying around, since there is no mention of the shipment on TM's website.

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.

rj1986 Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Trademarks still there, and "new in stock" but no indication if this is left over stock, new batch, or anything to do with the G5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I doubt they will have re-engineered the gen4. Theyβll have just re-produced it to the original spec. It was very good at the time and still pretty decent even with the improvements of the gen5. Seems like a lot of added cost.

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.

Expand I always interpreted it as a βproduction calendarβ. maybe thatβs 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, thereβs been no batch of gen5s this year. Itβs probably residual stock theyβre trickling out to distributors.

hitmanNo2 Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Unless there's a translation issue, it seems pretty clear it's referring to shipped products. Are you see evidence of any Gen 5s shipped? Ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantKiwi Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) 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.

Krisz Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) 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. π€·ββοΈ Edited December 18, 2024 by Krisz MistakenMexican 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FromJapan Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 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.
