weapons & accessory packs?
has hasbro made any indication that accessory packs will be made?

i loved those as a kid.....even though you ended up with a bright blue recondo backpack and other oddly colored character-specific weapons.
maybe this time around they could keep the colors a bit more realistic.

I'd really like more back packs too, but in the previous QnA i believe they said "no plans at this time".

and for weapons, i am now a firm, firm believer in Marauder Johns; once your Cobra Troopers have his AK-47s you'll never look back...

Hasbro has answered that question before with regards to their Star Wars line. Apparently sales have never been great for accessory packs, even in the vintage Joe days. But don't worry, as artiepants said, Marauders is there for all your Joe weapon needs.

they do have 1 backpack and a radio pack put i'm not really 'feeling' the elastic straps, kinda junky. you could probably glue them onto anyone with Snake-eyes style webgear...

i'd really love to suggest them coming up with a 2 pin backpack system with removable pins; higher, smaller pins for 25th figs and lower, larger ones for the vintage figs.

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.

and also....were eating everything joe right now. we all know damn full and well that if they did make acc. packs...theyd be mostly absent from the pegs and almost exclusively be on eBay right now like everything else (save for buzzer).

accessory packs would be a great way to stir up the joes you have while waiting for hasbro, and their distribution issues, to slowly get new product into local stores.

They could make weapon & accessory packs that are a limited run or DTC
