Used the pre-order deals as an excuse to order all the stargrave bits I'd been putting off buying. I do think the scavenger sets are going to be an incredible useful set to fill out my sci-fi table!

I know there is no civilian sets planned, but it would be awesome if we saw some spare arms/hands for converting some non-gun wielding folks though!

Mallo,

Check it out.

https://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=8780

I think that what Mallo (and I) would like are some arms within the basic sets that would allow you to build a guy who is carrying a couple of cases, or a wrench and a "tricorder" etc. The current sets all have arms that have those things - but they're all in their left hands. All the right hands are full of guns, knives etc making it impossible to build a couple of unarmed maintenance guys / bag carriers using bits from the basic boxes. And the link you provided doesn't help with either because that's just more heads and guns (which is nice but not what we're looking for).

Yup, I would second (third?) that

It doesn't have to be the full arm, even just some right hands holding things, so I could do a hand swap. Anvil has a few such hands, but I think most of them are also left hands

I agree.

As a lefty, I've been wanting swords in left hands and shields in the right one for decades. So I'll join the chorus and repectfully request a couple of spare right hands holding nothing, so I can take it from there and do my converting as part of  the neglected 10% I am :D
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

The pre-orders end tomorrow lunch-time. We're getting straight onto sending them out.

The figures have just arrived, and very nice they look too :D

The bodies are generic enough that I think they will find a use in my post-apocalypse plans. Some of the weapons will work as well, although I do want to see if the Warlord WW2 sprue arms work with them (at worst it will be hand swaps)

Slight grumble about the lack of slotta tabs on the metal figures, but that has been an unfortunate theme common to all the Stargrave metals :(
