I love the way they obssess on accuracy but I'd sell off the two I did buy before I would ever buy another.
I am quite ready for another manufacturer to step up.
More metal parts, no PVC frame and barrel.
Better fit of the rotating cylinder, as it has always never locked down tight and actually can be seen to move out of lock a bit as you pull the trigger.

That being said, I think these replicas are great, if you don't have one get one, it will scratch the BR blaster itch. But if you've been on the ride before, these latest release seems really crazy over the top for what it is.

This statement in the EFX Blaster advert, looks like another marketing trick by EFX in order to sell their product?
"...WE WERE JUST INFORMED THAT THIS IS THE LAST PRODUCTION RUN OF THE BLASTERS FROM TOMENOSUKE, SO ONCE THESE ARE SOLD OUT, NO FURTHER PIECES WILL BE AVAILABLE!...."

EDIT - Update: After bringing this matter to the attention of EFX, they amended their advert to read as follows...
"...WE WERE JUST INFORMED THAT THIS IS THE LAST PRODUCTION RUN OF THIS VERSION OF BLASTERS FROM TOMENOSUKE, SO ONCE THESE ARE SOLD OUT, NO FURTHER PIECES WILL BE AVAILABLE!..."

They probably just didn't realize that Tomenosuke will continue producing blasters until the cows come home.

I'm more surprised that you were actually able to contact them.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

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

An example, it's a long thread, but you can see why EFX is so "loved" by customers and collectors, and how things evolved from the first posts in that thread to the last ones:
