I had been wanting to get some backpacks for my son's IG army, and I finally broke down and ordered some of the large Backpacks by Secret Weapon from The Warstore.com.

They retail for an MSRP of $1.00 piece ($9.99 per package) (usual net-store discounts canbe had). I have no issues paying this for the quality so i give price a grade of "A".

The packaging is professional looking and does what it is supposed to: provide product ID, give company info and keep bits together. I give it a grade of "A".

The large backpacks came ten per package, and two per sprue:

They are cast in white metal and nicely detailed with very little flash. They also perfectly match up to the back of Cadian body armor (imagine that ) Grade: A+

I have some with primer drying as I type this. Once dry I will update to show them added to some models so you can see the size, fit and appearance...

They are ony basecoated, but you can make out the level of detailing and the size of them in relation to the figs...

I got the assortment pack awhile back, actually the first purchase I made on their site. I agree with the A rating as I only needed to do very little cleanup and after painting, a wash and dry brushing the detail just pops out at you. The radio backpack is also a good buy all that you need to add is the antenna. I don't know if you knew this but on your first purchase through Secret Weapon's website you can get 10% off with the code on the home page. One more thing that earned my continued loyalty, if you are a in the US Armed Forces, Active/Reserve/Vet, you are eligible for a LIFETIME 10% discount. All you have to do is send proof of service, Copy of ID card, DD214, just black out your SSN and any PERSEC items before you send it. Full details are here....

For a small operation to give service members a deal like this is outstanding and like I said they have my continued loyalty.

I didn't know that actually. That is very cool of them.
