I thought this 2049 version was sold out?
I really want to order this replica but I'm afraid it will be seized by Dutch customs.. anyone from The E.U. got experience ordering this blaster from HCG?

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Never figured this weapon to be a revolver, especially a 5 shot. Don't recall seeing any reloads. Besides the lights, not very futuristic for 32 years.

This is just WAY to beautiful of a piece for me to pass up on. One of the nicest science fiction hand gun replica's I have seen to date. I like that its science fiction, but at the same time not CRAZY science fiction like a Halo or Gears of War hand gun. It resembles a real pistol, but you can still tell its a sci-fi piece.

Thats actually one of my favorite aspects about it. I have plenty of replica weapons that literally SCREAM science fiction. Weta's District 9 set, Weta's Dr Grordbort, Halo, Mass Effect, Gears of War etc. This is more of a subtle science fiction piece and I really love that aspect to it. I think the dual triggers and the overall shape definitey make it look sci-fi to me.

You need to watch and understand the first Blade Runner movie to appreciate that this gun was perfect for the original Blade Runner movie and a deservedly special weapon and prop for the sequel.

Reloads of the gun was not necessary. Also, the movie does not reveal much at all about the blaster. It remains a mystery. Only the prop itself is built around a revolver, but this is and was not conveyed in any of the Blade Runner movies. No explanation about the gun's operation was shown in the movies. The LED lights ?...the side rod with the green LED's ?...the type of ammunition used ?.....The double trigger ?.... Blaster was not explained and understandably it was unnecessary. The blaster's mystery added the movie's charm and intrigue. A beautifully built and designed blaster with retro-futuristic looks and appeal.

Uhhh...ok. I just comment on stuff I haven't seen or know nothing about. Nice assumption there buddy.
Cool gun no doubt, not worth the price tag tho. When it comes to 80's weaponry, this rivals the pulse rifle no doubt.

That sucks. Of course, here in the good ol USA, its easier getting real guns than it is science fiction replica's.

Yes... When I look back at my comment, it was a little presumptuous of me. My passion for Blade Runner got the better of me.....
Sorry about that Vecchio1.
