Hey guys probably a long shot but does anyone have a airsoft Tanio Koba VP70 for sale?

I found one in the UK and they agreed to 50% paint and send to me as Im not UKARA registered, but it turns not to be a VP70 after all

Ive now found one in Hong Kong, and they agreed to paint it also so I paid for it and now they are saying they want a UKARA card photocopied and sent to them also, which they didnt say at the time of paying.

I thought it was ok to buy an airsoft painted up, or is this now changed?

So im now stuck and this is one of the last bits to source for my Marine, really wanted to go with the Koba VP70 as I like the moving parts to go with my G&P TM Pulse rifle, not looking at airsofting with it though.

Cheers

Oh well the company in Hong Kong now say they havent the time to paint a pistol for me and have said they will return my money to Paypal.
So no UKARA card no pistol with them, so what now any ideas guys?

You could always see if one of the UK shops will import one direct for you.
It can be problematic, though.

I'm currently struggling with one place, trying to get me a Maruzen M870.
They're not very communicative and they seem to forget that Hong Kong/Tokyo are 8-9 hours ahead of the UK when phoning the suppliers up.

If you do find a UK place who's not got their head up their backsides, can you pass me their phone number?

Ive asked a few UK shops but none have said they can get one, or import one. But it seems that there arnt really that many VP70's left to buy out there which is the problem.

The only place I have found is the place in Hong Kong, and they wont paint one to enable me to buy it personally, but will only ship to someone who has a registered airsoft card to photo copy and send to them, and then they will ship one out no probs.

Will the shops get hold of that one in HK for you?

The shops Ive asked said they dont deal with the one in Hong Kong. I said I would give them a good drink if they would just buy it in for me, but to be honest no one seems that helpfull.

I am intending to get my UKARA card as I feel it could save alot of agro out on drops, but you have to join a site and be a member for a few month to get it. Ive just about got everything for my Marine comming now, and this is the last piece. I was worried that the VP70 would be all sold buy the time I get my backside into gear and get out scirmishing to enable me to get my card in a few months down the line

Search for UHC vp70 (a TK clone i think), you'll get more vendor choice.

Do you know of any shops that will ship to the UK painted up? I think im going to get the same problem as I havent got the UKARA card.

How frustrating is this, Im licensed to own shotguns but cant import an airsoft.

Think Im sorted for the pistol at last. Ive found a guy in the UK who is going to sell me his MGC H&K VP70 blank firer. So that should should do the trick

With the added bonus that the MGC is the correct model used on screen where the TK is not.
