The rapier and longsword are in the wrong minifigs’ hands!

I really like the rapiers. Bayonets are neat as well.

Cool! I’ll get me 10 of those longswords as soon as possible. Are they one handed or two handed size? Man, I hope they’re one handed!

Thanks for the great review! A few notes:

- That’s an earlier version of the BA Longsword. There are two later, much more polished versions, the V2 (”The Damien”) and the V3 (”The Longsword”). Will has yet to finalize the design, and there is a chance more than one version of the sword will be released.

- The Rapier in the above shot is also an earlier version. Notice the blade is actually a pole that comes to a point. While that design does make for a great foil, a later version of this prototype featured more of a traditional blade.

- While the Bayonet is the final version, the U-Clip that’s connecting it to the TLG musket is actually a much thinner variant. Unfortunately, that type of U-Clip does not grip tightly enough to accessories. However, the thicker version of the U-Clip grips very tightly, at least as strongly as the typical minifig hand.

Thanks again!

This rapier is fantastic. I will buy at least 10, and long sword too :)
