GW have slowly designed their plastic kits to cater to the modeling aspect of their customers.
Recently all the *options have been included in the kits , and the customers have been
adding magnets etc etc.

Could and would GW ever design new kits that incorporate magnets (like magnet slots
molded right into the kits ) to go along with the swapping options?

The idea isn't without merit.

But you have to take into consideration that:
1) It isn't hard to do it yourself more often than not. It will take a lot of money for GW to refit their molds to do this.
2) GW makes more money if you don't use magnets and just have a bunch of different models for your differing options.

So in short. Not a chance in hell.

yeah,
but to counter that loss in profit; GW could sell the magnets, and the correct size pin vice drill bits for making the holes...

Panic...

If the kits were properly designed you wouldn't need magnets.

Armored Core kits are designed for parts such as heads, weapons and arms, to be interchanged between kits using polycap attachment points.

GW design skill is well below this level, or else they don't want to do it.

They can always do the new plastic kits with the option , not saying all the current existing ones need to be replaced.


I meant in the far future when they re design / update the current models. like Rhino variant mk3 etc etc
