Blazer family reunited

[Blazer652]

I wanted to thank everyone here who helped me track down my Blazer from 20 yrs ago. Small back story... back in the 90's my dad and I would tear up the field games with these bad boys. I found myself in a financial pinch and had to put my Blazer on ebay. I didn't know it at the time, but my dad had planned to watch the auction and buy it no matter the price. Sadly he mixed up the auction end date and the Blazer went to the four winds amongst y'all. Over the last 3 years I hunted for it, and now the Blazer family is reunited. Red & black is mine, wood grip one is my dad's, and the black grip is my mom's. We lost my dad last year to a sudden accident before I was able to get the Blazer in hand, but he knew that I had found it and that alone brought a lot of joy to him. He always felt bad for messing up the ebay auction. Thanks again to everyone for the owner/seller leads, can't tell you what it means to me to have this piece of my childhood memories back!

That is awesome you got back. Good to hear that it was in good hands of a fellow MCB while away from your family. Thank you for sharing the story, very cool.

Thank you for sharing that. The game we all love so much is silly and insignificant, but the people make the experience meaningful.

May your father's memory be a blessing to you.

So sorry to hear about your loss. That's great that your Dad knew you'd found your Blazer and could bring it home. Hold on to your memories, they will last you a lifetime!

Great story. I'm very happy for you. I've done similar with my old paintball pals markers. The group I played with most in high school all moved up to tournament guns eventually, and I bought their OG equipment; a Silver Bullet, Tipp 98, Trilogy Tactical, Spyder Compact Java. Being brokeass teens running around in the woods on my buddy's grandma's property are some of my most favorite memories. A few of those friends have passed on to the afterlife, and I'm grateful to have something solid to remember them by.
