I've been thinking...I've spent the better part of my time in Blast Network bribing King Krogmo trying to get a few specific bombheads. Instead, I've got doubles, triples, and quadruples of the ones I don't want and I've said to myself a few times now, "There's got to be SOMETHING I can use these multiples of bombheads for!"

Well, what if there was an exchange where we could turn in a bombhead + some amount of CE (I was thinking 400) for any of the other bombheads (aside from Prime)? The exchanged bombhead would be delivered BOUND.

Creates a small currency sink and makes us who bribe king krogmo looking for bombheads fairly satisfied.

Thoughts?

nah

If you have a crazy number of bomber heads sell them, I would pay a pretty peney for most of them so I'm sure you could get a buyer, if you are worried no one will buy yours try posting what you have in the bazzar then just unbinding when you have a buyer.

I'm pretty sure the bribe bombheads come bound.

I just checked...
sadly you are correct. They should just make it you can unbind costumes.

No, never. No thank you,

No, never. No thank you, flooding of Rose sets onto the market. That or the cost to unbind one costume should be an exorbitant fee like 25,000 CE, but I'd still be against it.

I was thinking the fee should

I was thinking the fee should be in crowns to unbind a costume that way it will also work as a crown sink. Make it the cost to unbind the costume has to do with how many are currently in the game as a total. I don't know the numbers but maybe every 1 of that costume makes the price go up by 100 crowns?
It should also be multiplied by 1.15 per RARE accessory, as in volcanic, shadow, prismatic, divine and auras.

Meh, feel free to try to put

Meh, feel free to try to put together your own suggestion about that (or revive an old suggestion). That's a fairly common suggestion, and I don't think anyone's really come close to figuring it out...

Anyway, anyone else have comments about my suggestion?

...Only to wholeheartedly support this. I would also be in favor of a limited number of the more rare bombheads rolling through featured, but that's a different suggestion altogether. Anyway, yes, I would totally throw some ce at being able to trade in duplicates for the varieties I don't have.

Well.. I guess we should have this avaible but I still feel that they should be unbindable so they can be bought from other players.

While not entirely necessary, it'd be nice if you could do SOMETHING with them. Maybe not trade them in directly for other bombheads, that'd kind of kill the rarity and appeal of getting all of them. Maybe trade them in for krogmo coins? Though k coins are kind of worthless after a while. I guess that'd at least let you get some return on duplicates.

While I haven't seen any

While I haven't seen any data, I don't think that certain bombheads that you can get from bribing are "rarer" than others. I do have some friends with multiples of say, the frosty bombhead, and zero of the iron bombhead for example.

I'd be interested to see some data behind the chances of getting each bombhead and if it actually varies.

Another twist to the idea is maybe not allow the exchange of the ones you can buy from Sullivan, and ONLY the ones you can get from bribing.

There should be a way to unbind bombheads and 0* gear(starting armor looks good for vanity)

my 2 cents

I still to this day remember the azure and emerald bombhead mask that went on AH the first day of BN...

And now I have 2 silver and 2 emerald I would like to either destroy or use it as a fish bowl

It's frustrating when I have over 10 bombheads from Lockdown. (Gold bombhead)

The chance of a unique bombhead dropping decreases every time you find a bombhead as a statistical certainty rather than a programmed probability; that was the rarity that I was talking about.

Pistol is best weapon in TF2

+1 to this. Being able to select a bombhead that fits one's armor would be very nice.

Now we just have to hope that while people continue to post maybe OOO notices and starts to think about it a bit!

+1 I strongly support doing

+1 I strongly support doing this. I have 52 bombheads from bribe prizes across three characters (plus two Jack o' and one Spiral). Most of them are duplicates, including five Magic on one character. I still don't have Shocking or Checkered. Maybe it should require two or three bombheads be turned in along with the CE (or crowns) to get one bombhead of your choosing. (Part of the issue is clutter from so many duplicates.) Of course, the options should only be the kinds you can win from bribing King Krogmo (Plasmatech Bombhead Mask, Spiral Bombhead Mask, Prime Bombhead Mask, and Jack o' Bombhead Mask excluded).
