If you read the front news you will know that the BlackHole Show will be this weekend in Tokyo Japan.

Several of the members here on Arnies who reside in Japan will be going and meeting up at Hamatsu-Cho Station at 9:45 and heading down together. If there are any other members here who wish to meet up just add you names!

So far we have:

Wow, they don't waste any time do they?

[Tank]

I swear I will make it to Japan for this show at least once before I die.

I'm looking forward to your feedback about the show.

I'm sure he was suggesting that they take pictures for us to see...

Did occur to me after I clicked submit. But surely it goes without saying that FarEast will take pics of the airsoft pron on show?

[Shard]

Well, I'm sure the TMP & Mac 10 resin models will look as good as ever

Look foward to the report FarEast

[Johnny Sasaki]

Yeah, about those AEP's... whatever happened to that nice Scorpion?

If I had the money I'd be there every year....

It's actually quite a small show and most companies bring stuff you've seen or heard about before along with crazy custom guns you can't buy. The best part of it is the used gun bazaar. All matter of obscure stuff can be found for dirt cheap. Us classic guys go to that part exclusivley. I don't suppose you know what a Coksai Danbo valve looks like FarEast? I could really use one, or some JAC Greasegun mags.

The big announcments are usually Wonderfest and Hobbyworld. That's where the TM stuff is usually seen first.

Maybe more talk of the AEP guns, Marushin will show the "new and improved" Garand with walnut stock and 6mm P210, the GBB MP40 will likely be a no-show. Tanaka will show the M870 they've been working on.

I expect news of the TOP GBB M249 to surface along with some possible rumblings from the sleeping Shoei.

I believe this is the first one since the recent laws went into effect, so it will be interesting to see what companies have done to keep guns under the limit. Marushin and Tanaka seem to be pulling a Maruzen and neuturing their internals so green gas can't be used without breaking the gun.

Have fun and lot's of BIG, color pictures posted please. . .

Actually not true, the Type 89 was first show cased at the Shizoka Hobby show and the M14 was shown at the New Years BlackHole show and the MP7A1 was shown at the summer show. Marui are starting to pull away from the Pro Model Hobby shows as it really isn't their target market.

As for parts, sorry guys I'm not going to have time to hunt down individual parts and pieces, because if I say yes to one person I will have to say yes to all, and I won't have enough time to report on the show if I’m hunting for parts!

Anyway, you can all be assured that I will take plenty of images for you and Arnie himself has requested i take some video footage as well!

[Cali]

Can't wait to see what info & pics you guys bring back.

Is there already a date or a regular date (e.g., first weekend of July or something) for the summer show? I may be going to Japan in late summer, it would be cool if I could time that right. I tried Babelfish on the Blackhole website but it didn't seem to translate for some reason.

Well cool, she says salivating...

I remember reading with delight reading Rising Sun Recon reports. Unfortunately, he no longer seems to be doing them.

[Duke Togo]

forgot about Shizuoka. I was about 2% serious about looking for parts. In all honesty I could care less what TM announces unles it's "We quit!".

Oh man, that would make my day..

[Jagdraben]

I hope that my sarcasmeter is broken and that you were only joking, Yeager.

[Oliver Twist]

Betting that meter is broken there...at least I hope he's only kidding too.
