I've been discussing the OLD RP Weapons Blisters with some folks on another board. Myself and a few others would like the old ones to be produced again, though we acknowledge the fact the Unseen parts will never be released like that again. Ok, I Myself acknowledge that, though some of the others may be in denial! :D
However, I was wondering if it would be possible to make New versions of the weapons blisters? Not simply make old blisters with Reseen parts, though that would work also. I was thinking of all new parts blisters. Sure, Jump Jets & Fins would still be useful, as would be the Missiles and Auxiliary Weapons blisters. However, given that there's so many more sculpts now than before, you'd need separate blisters for each weight class, for the "Arms" blisters. Either that or you'd have to do something like "Light and Medium Arms Pack 1" through "Pack 4", or something like that. :o Likewise, we now have Clan Omni-mechs to consider, so there could be a use for "Light Omni-Mech Arms", as well as one for each of the other weight classes. I recently saw 4 listings on a certain online auction site, for different variants of the Epona, that the seller obviously made on his own. Well, he had the "Prime", which IS a store-bought sculpt, but he also had the "A", "B" and "C" variants as well, that he'd modded. Therefore, there's apparently a market for one or more different Clan Vehicle Turret blisters. The same goes for the different Clan Missile launchers.
If this has been discussed before, and I'm just beating a thoroughly dead horse, I Apologize for wasting your time. I haven't seen it discussed before, but I admit I didn't do a Search for it before posting either. :-[ I remember hearing that it was decided to have only different turrets at conventions, rather than an assortment of bits, based on what sold well versus what didn't. I don't recall if I heard that at Gen Con 2011, or read it here though. :-\ Anyway, I'd Appreciate it if Speck or someone else from IWM would reply, so I have an "Official" answer. No offense, but I'd rather hear from an Official source on this, instead of relying on Hearsay. O0
