weapons & accessory packs?

Accessory packs would be great as long as the colours matched the originals - A few more Ak's like the one that came with Scarface would be nice, but not if they were blue or white.

Still, with MJ supplying such well made goods (all my Cobra officers have been issued with his solid stock AK-47's), I don't think official packs are essential.

MJ has me covered for firearms, especially when wave 5 finally hits. His M16/M203 looks soooo much better than Hasbro's. Ditto for basically every other firearm he makes.

Given that, I'd really love it if they'd make accessory packs for the easy to lose/break items. Like the small boot/ninja belt knives or beach head's crossbow, or Torpedo and the upcoming Baroness' dive masks. Or at least give us a mechanism, online, catalog something, where we could purchase them.
But they probably want us to buy whole figures.

[quote=Gung.Heaux;164922]well as far as star wars goes....the weapons are VERY character specific.
luke using chewie's bowcaster is just plain weird. so having it molded in bright red just isnt that appealing to that fanbase.
now joes are all soldiers, bound by one, mostly realistic world. flint would certainly look okay if he were holding snake eyes' UZI.QUOTE]

Hasbro tends to stick some character-specific weapons into their battle packs. I would love to see some jetpacks so I won't have to buy a ton of Duke/Airtroopers just to get them.

Just in case they are watching... please do not stick the following weapons in the battle packs should you make any:

Buzzer's Chainsaw
Cobra Commander's hair dryer
Red Star's backpack
Scarlett's crossbow

Anyone else have any weapons they want to see NOT INCLUDED?

I think that Hasbro SHOULD release weapon packs. This would be great for those who make custom joes. Weapon/Accessories packs have not been very popular in the past, but perhaps these packs could include weapons/accessories exclusive only to these packs, or they could be divided into categories like explosives, lmgs, small arms, etc. or just jet packs.
