This is something that is driving the collector community crazy atm. I really don't care that DP didn't come with guns, but it should have been classic DP, not the previously released X-FORCE version that got the BAF piece. Basically, people who managed to get XFDP the first time around will have to get him again the second time around if they want to complete the BAF. This one is right up there with 3 movie Star-Lords being released in 2 months, one which required you to buy to get an exclusive figure, while the other was required to complete a BAF.

I expect to see a lot of XFDPs (minus BAF parts of course...and probably the accessories as well since people like to stockpile them) floating around eBay when that figure drops. I still have the original Hasbro version, which I am happy with, so thankfully, it's one I can live without.

As for the old school DP only coming with swords, maybe it's to pay homage to the classic Toybiz XForce line version? I noticed the katanas are new sculpts and look identical to those old ones that the original figure came with, so maybe there is some sort of inside joke there. Either way, there are casting sites out there, and plenty of loose accessories on eBay, and most of us should have been able to stockpile a small armory by now even without them. I mean honestly, are your figures using or holding EVERY accessory they come with?

If not, maybe it's time to start investing some money into these things if you want them bad enough. I have been able to snag plenty of casted weapons for super cheap on ebay, in some cases for as little as a dollar a cast. Every time you go and place money in these things, it's money out of Hasbro's pocket. That is why they bullied many of the casting sites out of business. Money talks though, and it forces their hand to start doing better if they start losing enough of it.

I still believe that if the unreleased Blade head cast hadn't hit the secondary market, we would still be waiting on an official Blade figure. The same with many of their Black Series figures...
