BrickArms has released a new selection of weapons and all of their US-based resellers will have them in stock in time for Black Friday. All other resellers will have them very soon, if they don’t already.
Two of BrickArms’ resellers, GI Bricks and Brickmania, are having sales and/or special offers of their own as well.
Milan Sekiz built this menacing craft and he calls it “Space German”. I think it’s more Neo-Blacktron, but what do I know? Whatever it is, the ship has some lovely lines and a great color scheme. I’d hate to run across this in the far reaches of outer space…
BrickWarriors has just done a big restock of some of their most popular merchandise and is offering a nice discount as well. On top of that, for the rest of the month, 5% of all sales will be donated to Toys for Tots!
Kosmas Santosa got out of his comfort zone, due to a challenge from a friend, and built this scene of the undead coming back to life. The atmosphere he has achieved here is awesomely creepy. I give me the chills just looking at it.
Brickforge, well-known for their custom minifig parts and accessories, is running a clearance sale where each item is under 30 cents. There is quite a nice selection and if you don’t see what you are looking for, then check back later. This is an ongoing event with different items being discounted every two weeks. Also any orders 15 dollars or over will receive a free ‘splat pack’!
Ieyasu has recreated legendary Martial Artist Bruce Lee in his iconic yellow track suit, as seen in his final movie, Game of Death. The builder doesn’t mention it in their description but I think was built to honor the fact that today is Bruce Lee’s 74th birthday. I really appreciate the posability of this figure. That, and the fact that the builder has included a backdrop that compliments the build without being distracting, puts this creation on the top shelf.
Brickmania has just released a new version of the iconic World War I tri-plane flown by Baron Manfred Von Richthofen, The Red Baron. The Fokker Dr. 1 kit includes special MG08 “Spandau” machine guns, hand-injected in the Brickarms studios, as well as a custom printed minifig of the baron himself.
These lovely creepy things were built by our very own Nannan Zhang. I love how Nannan is able to transform the pieces he uses into something that is much greater than the sum of its parts and managing to create a creature that is so organic and deadly-looking.
LEGO recently sent us some books to review, so you will see more book reviews than normal pop up on here over the next month. If you own any of the books, feel free to leave your own thoughts in the comments!
The first two we will be reviewing are LEGO Minifigure Year by Year: A Visual History and The LEGO Movie: The Essential Guide.
You all know I’m a sucker for a good medieval scene. Well, this is a really good one. We don’t often see interior shots quite like this. Mark Erickson has knocked this one out of the park. I love the rows of weapons, the various stands and displays, as well as the overall architecture of the place. Overall, it’s a really nice build.
Angus Maclane, famous for couches and Cube-Dudes, went and super-deformed Optimus Prime. I think he’s adorable. If they had only done the Transformers movies this way, it would have been so much better.
Hacim Bricks says he felt like building a purple flower. So he did. I feel like posting a purple flower. So I am. It’s really nicely done and well presented.
