    Lemme check my '85 Blitzy for a moment...

    OK. Turret rotates 360 degrees smoothly, launchers have no springs. I assume they were removed to conform with safety requirements of the day.

    Darn, I really did think I remembered him having springs in those launchers.

    At the risk of redundancy, my original Blitzwing doesn't have spring-loaded launchers either.

    I'm pretty sure the reissue does though.

    Hmm, I never noticed on mine and Blitzwing is one of my favorites. I will have to check out this no springs thing when I get home.

    Pen springs you say??? Not a bad idea at all.

    Yeah, my junker also has no spring. Talk about weird that he didn't come with springs.
