Heh. And as that 1 person, I have to admit my post wasn't especially
dynamic. I confess that I thought the accessories were scratch-built by
hand, and I hadn't even thought about a multi-thousand dollar injection mold
process.
What sort of accessory pack would you sell, and for how much? Will the
accessories be painted or (preferably) molded in color? I'm a little
intimidated by the likely initial pricetag if you're going to have to recoup
your investment, but you may be onto something very cool here. Would you
have any interest in making brick-based accessories or scenery pieces, like
sandbags with tubes on the underside to mount on a baseplate? Or what about
a larger whip antenna for use on a vehicle or communications post? Maybe
vehicle-mounted weapons, like machineguns that snap into the top of a 1x1
round brick-with-hole, or maybe even a specialized artillery barrel? The
possibilities are far-ranging and very intriguing.
And if you're going to go to the effort of making WWII accessories, it
might be worth your while to investigate the market for Castle, Pirate,
Space, or other themes' accessories, too.

Well, they can speak for themselves. I, for one, greatly appreciate
non-pure-LEGO elements to supplement my building, so I say bring it on!

Doh! As others have ably noted, don't mistake a lake of feedback to
equate to a lack of interest.
Dave!
