I am curious to see if they go die cast - since plastic molds allow for way more detail, and some of the blades are so ornate. Seeing what HT can do with plastic and paint on Iron Men, I have to question if die cast is even as good as we all think. While I love my Mark 43, the weight is hard to work with, I almost prefer the absurd light weight nature of my Shotgun armor.
Question - have you played all the games? That's what I found to be a necessity with the movie - it makes a lot of assumptions that you're familiar with the world and the lore. It seems people who like the games are much more fond of it than casual viewers. That's not to say there aren't filmmaking faux pas in it (for example, cutting the action back and forth between the Animus and Aguilar so frequently is jarring from an viewer's perspective - just a bit of bad editing there). But I don't think it's near as bad as people say it to be. I'll be buying the steelbook for sure.
