BrickArms is partnering with U4iA Games to make custom minifig weapons from the upcoming Offensive Combat game. You can read more about it on PRWeb or check out the designs on Flickr. Let us know what you think about the start of customizers creating officially licensed products.
I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t wild about the idea of custom Lego because I saw no need for a part Lego wouldn’t make. But after seeing reviews here and my contacts on Flickr having so much fun with them, I came around to the idea that good, quality customs can be really neat.
So I think its fine, especially since its a company like Brickarms, to have officially licensed parts, because there is a demand for them. I haven’t played Halo but my young nephews have and they love playing with the Brickarms weapons I have that look like Halo weapons. I love my Brickarms swords but I’ve had ideas for MOCs based on some Brickarms guns I have. I understand and admire Lego for not wanting to make these weapons but I glad someone is because people still buy Lego to use the weapons with.
