Hello lego fans!
I've decided to blog Brickarms. Brickarms is a custom lego comopany owned and operated by Will Chapman. Will dedicates absolute perfection to his products. Brickarms has been in buisness during since 2006. It started when his kids asked for custom WWII legos. Brickarms, (BA), are made of solid ABS plasttic, the same brand of plastic Lego uses. They mesh perfectly with standard legos. Will sacrifices nothing for quality. All his products are tested and perfected through the prototype process, Where he molds them at his house with ground up lego bricks amd spruces left over from trimming production molds. This process was implemented before his third mold. All his products are designed on CAD, and his molds are cut with CNC-CAD= Computer
Aided Design, CNC= Computer Numerically Comtrolled. His firat two molds were sent directly to the molder with no prototyping process. That was before there was a minifig template in CAD. He shrunk them to 1x1 on the computer,print them, and put them in a figures hand. It worked and the two molds came out perfect, luckily. He just released mold 5. I'll have alot more information later when I'm not so tired.

The one shown at the top is the WWII German SMG, The MP-40. My favorite and first Brickarm.

There are tons more Brickarms accessories available.Most are sold for the reasonable price of $1,some in pairs for $1,and a few of the larger/harder items are sold for $2.
ReplyDeleteWill also sells custom minifigures sporting Brickarms,most with custom decals designed by Damien Knight (Anthony Lombardi),used specifically for Brickarms minifigures.Each minifigure can range from $12-$15,but are currently all backordered.
Will buys the parts for his minifigures in large quantities for relatively low prices,and doesn't buy newer pieces,as they are more expensive.
Some of his accessories are discontinued due to reasons beyond Will's control.These would include the Brickarms MP7,MP5,PSG1/PSG-1,and G36,my personal favorite.The M1 steel pot helmet was not designed by Brickarms,but by a LEGO "clone" brand called Oxford,which also makes other military accessories,which are very detailed,and very nice,too.The M1 helmets were discontinued because the supply ran out,and he had few left,and are now used for minifigures (I.E. the U.S. Rifleman) that are sold at conventions only.
Just some more info.

Good info! One thing, Oxford is a legitiment brand, not a clone brand.
ReplyDeleteAah!My mistake,still not familiar with which other brands are LEGO "clone" brands or not.
ReplyDeleteMind if I add that to your post? (Of course,changing the clone brand part.)
