The Zombie Pack is just the tip of the BrickArms iceberg! WWII fans will see something I think they’ll love, and Pirate and Castle fans might like what they see as well. . . ;)

Excellent! I think you’ll dig what Will’s been cooking up!

@badger: Yup, I’ve already been in touch with Will on that front. ;-) We’ve usually ended up with more coverage of BrickArms products as a result of BrickCon than “actual” LEGO.

Worry not good people!

Most likely one of us will do a photo-review of upcoming BA items, we’ll take pictures of you guys at the con as well.

Right now, the winner is “Upcoming Products.” While I know most are referring to TLG, have you also enjoyed the previews of upcoming custom accessories? Will Chapman of BrickArms has used conventions to showcase and sample more than a few BrickArms prototypes (excellent coverage of which has been featured on Brothers-Brick!), and the fan reactions and feedback have been very helpful to Will in terms of making decisions regarding this accessories.

So, do you guys like getting sneak peaks of custom items, too?

@Brent – Roger that! I will try to avoid any artistic twaddle. ;) Actually, I agree with you. I hate having a strange sort of teaser shot of a really cool creation and then not being able to find “real” pics of it.

What I want to see is decent pictures of the displays and creations. None of this “artistic” twaddle where someone takes a weird angle of a single building that gives you no real information on what you are looking at or appreciation for the subject like 95% of the photos normally taken. Take normal pictures and lots of them so we can appreciate the creations and displays – perhaps even learn from them and be inspired.

@Paul – That is a great idea. We usually skimp on the coverage of the Lego store events, the Brick Bazaar, etc. Mostly because we are busy shoving each other out of the way to get the good deals. I’ll make a point to cover that in more depth.

@Richard – I will be taking a ton of pics of the Castle layout and I’m sure others will too. I’ll probably do some kind of Castle roundup at some point, maybe highlighting the process of coordinating it. Maybe. That might just be boring. Anyway, at least two of the Castle builders are excellent photogs, so I will make a point of linking to their galleries.

I’d like to see group dislays. It always nice to see what a large group of can do with a large amount of LEGO bricks. I would also like to see some Micro Scale creations.

What do I want to see?

Well, I’d like to see myself there, but that ain’t gonna happen.

As much coverage as you three can possibly manage preferably!

I’m interested in seeing shots from the Castle Display though- after enviously reading numerous threads on CC and seeing multiple WIPs on Flickr I am curious as to how it will all turn out.
