I know this has been talked about in other threads, but is there any chance Hasbro would ever release a weapons pack? I mean, limited paint, preexisting molds... It seems like easy $$$. I know if they rerelease beachhead's gear in black, that's 3 pieces. gung ho's guns, now we're at like 5. Maybe add the gun from the ram, and the guns and knife from commando snake eyes, that'd be like 9 small weapons and one large weapon, no new molds. A few paint highlights, like silver blades...
I wouldn't buy multiples, but I'd buy one for sure...

They did that with Transformers, so I could see it happening.

I don't think they'd do a standalone weapons pack, but I could see them doing something like the Transformers Centurion Drone or the ROC Pit Commando and selling a troop builder figure with a large assortment of weapons and accessories.

I don't think they'd make it cheap, but I could see them packaging it "like" a figure and selling it for the cost of a figure...

If I'm not mistaken, I remember this was a question that was posed during the 40th anniversary event. I think I remember Lenny saying that gear packs was something they were looking into. So this may be a possibility.
But honestly if you ask me, I don't see Hasbro coming out with weapons packs because these days everyone seems to be so sensitive regarding guns. Didn't DC comics ban McFarlane Toys from including guns in their DC figures? I really hope Hasbro doesn't do the same thing with GI Joe, because what the heck is the point of having army figures without their guns?

You just kind of have to look at Hasbro?s current practices to realize this fear is baseless and irrational. They make Nerf for crying out loud. |

We just have to look at the more recent stuff, like Stalker, to see that they've got no problem putting guns in the box.
The "futuristic" weapons were when they just thought this was going to be a small line that would go along with the video game and sell a few figures to fans of the game. They probably figured the classic fans would be interested to the exact degree they were interested in the video game, and they probably expected us to just complain they weren't o-rings. The second they realized there was a market for six inch classic style figures with more realistic weapons, they turned the wheel and adjusted as fast as they could. But all the recent stuff--Spirit, Alley Vipers, Cobra Officers, all have black guns that look like guns. I'm sure a weapons pack would look fine.
