moetle Posted April 3, 2012 Report Posted April 3, 2012 Is there any way to get just certain parts of models for conversions or whatnot direct from Wyrd? Quote
SpiralngCadavr Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Sorry, I don't believe there is. Quote
Requirement Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 From what I understand there is not. You could try and beg Nathan? Sketch? I have never heard of them doing it though. If you have success though, let me know... I have some Death Marshal arms I need... Quote
Dustcrusher Posted April 13, 2012 Report Posted April 13, 2012 GW's old Bits service was one of the best things in miniatures period back in the day. Just plain awesome. Wanted 5 of the Necromunda Bounty Hunter's backpacks? Cool, pay a small premium (but still way less than for the whole figure) and here you are. It was also a way to guarantee which minis you got in exchange for paying a little more per fig. I sincerely hope Nathan and company keep this in mind for down the road, if/when they are big enough to be able to afford to do it. It will make a lot of players happy and probably bring in new customers looking for a parts service that doesn't jack prices up on eBay (I've seen Space Marine plastic missile launcher arms go for over $10 each before, which is ridiculous in my opinion- especially when in some cases you didn't even get the matching bracing arm!).

moetle Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Posted April 14, 2012 ditto on the old GW bits service. When i found out they stopped doing it i was very shocked. Well hopefully the folks at Wyrd will have something soon cause i know i'd like to get certain parts for conversions and stuff. Moe Quote
fritz the cat Posted April 15, 2012 Report Posted April 15, 2012 It'd be a great service, but would likely be a money loss for wyrd. If they're like any other company, their molds include the whole model, and likely a large number of those. If they were to make the bits purchaseable, they'd have numberous surplus parts from models that noone would want to buy. It'd be nice, but I wouldnt be too upset if they didnt as its understandable Quote
