the enigma that is badger Posted August 29, 2009 Author Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I believe a BAR is in the works, am I right, Badger? Correct! We want Da' MG42, BAR and Kar98!!! Basics of WWII Will! Bear in mind that for Brickfair, a major focus of the convention was Post-Apoc. As such, Will focused his designing in the months before on accessories appropriate to that theme (the the awesome exception of the Claymore sword). Will is still a huge fan of WWII and does have some neat ideas for future accessories in that theme. When I have news, I'll post it here! Edited August 29, 2009 by the enigma that is badger Quote

I believe the focus of it is going to be WWII by the big this project sounds. The nly thing stopping me from getting brickarms is that I'm saving money, you guys need to make at least the Kar98 (Germans can't go around open fields with an MP40. I'll be happy to buy from you then! Quote
Mocha Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) I just Love the barret 50.cal! the only problem i have with it is that the magazine is angled too much upwards as you can see in this pic. other than that, this has got to be one of my fav BA weapons. srry I couldn't get a comparison pic, my computer skillz are weak edit: btw does anyone know what happened to the MP5? I really want one. Edited August 29, 2009 by Mocha Quote
PMJ Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Personally, No Offense to anyone, but I am kind of getting tired of seeing new prototypes. Some pics have been up on the BA Forums for about a year, and I am kind of getting tired waiting for them to come out. Quote

Captain Harlowe Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Great Company and certainly great arms! I hope, one day, there will be brickarms for the pirate Series... like a matchlock musket and shooting stick as well as a wheellockpistol for the Spaniards and 17th C. uses, a decent Brown Bess musket and a bayonet, also a flintlock pistol for 18th-19th C. themes, and a Smallsword for both... Does anybody think, that there would be any chance, to once see those weapons made by brickarms? Captain Charles F. Harlowe Quote

Will is certainly aware there's an exceptionally high level of interest from fans in seeing more waves of new accessories of BrickArms. However, please keep the following in mind: - Developing a new production mold represents an incredible amount of time and financial investment. Filling a new production mold with finalized designs, ensuring that mold is up to Will's high standards, and running that mold to produce the accessories is a process that can take several months to complete. - Will's molder, who cuts the steel production molds, is often busy with other projects, meaning new BrickArms molds can be delayed. - Adding new items to the BrickArms line-up also requires an incredible amount of work for Will in terms of website updates as well as stock management. - Will just made the largest update in BrickArms history (14 brand new items) only a few short months ago (April) - Each new wave of accessories means a TREMENDOUS amount of work for Will and his family to pack and ship the incredible response from fans. Spacing out new releases eases the burden of processing all these orders. While I can't comment on when new waves of accessories will be added to the site, I can say that big things are afoot behind the scenes at BrickArms to ensure that future additions to the site are more easily integrated into the BA line-up. Moreover, the continued success of BrickArms has shown that there is enough interest to support multiple waves of accessories. Bottom line: Will's method of designing, prototyping, using on the highest-quality US production, and hand sorting and shipping every order that arrives does mean that there is a longer time between new waves of accessories, but considering how much fans seem to appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of all BrickArms products, I'd say it's worth the wait!

strider406 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 I was wondering is the Plasma Blade finished yet or is something in the mold holding it up? Quote
Big Cam Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 OMG, these are amazing, they look better than regular LEGO guns. Quote
Darth_Legois Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) The Combat PDW reminds me of the P90 Gun, one of my favorite guns!Greets! It base on the P90 but for legal reasons they can't call it that. Stargate MOCs Finally ! Hell Yes. Although I wouldn't mind if there were Mp5's just for some Old-school SG Moc's. These look great.

I'm just saying maybe instead of coming out with new prototypes all the time, Will should come out with some of the older ones before concentrating on the new ones. I don't have anything against BrickArms, it's just that I want to get my hands on some of those brilliant weapons! Quote
the enigma that is badger Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 I'm just saying maybe instead of coming out with new prototypes all the time, Will should come out with some of the older ones before concentrating on the new ones. The two aren't mutually exclusive; Will has gained some incredible skills at CAD design over the past few years, and updating a prototype design for inclusion in a production mold, baring any major changes that would require another round of prototyping, is often only a matter of a few minutes! Once he gets word from his molder that a new production mold can be cut and there are enough designs to fill out a balanced mold (based on color and theme), he takes a tiny bit of time, spruces some things up based on fan feedback and his own thoughts about the accessories and submits the CAD designs to be cut! The reason why you see so many prototypes and new projects from Will: he just loves designing them! BrickArms is a business, but custom accessory design is also Will's hobby and true passion. Whenever he has some very rare free time, there's nothing he loves more than working on some new project. Designing and prototyping represents a fairly small cost and time commitment, so Will is free to experiment with all sorts of wild projects free from the commitments of time and cost associated with production molds. That's the reason why Will is so public with his prototypes and designs. To him, it's like sharing an MOC! There's also the fact fan feedback truly drives a many of the designs in terms of updating them to better suit builder needs as well as choosing those items that will be best suited for mass production. If you're particularly interested in seeing something in a future wave of BrickArms accessories, your best bet is to post in the appropriate thread of the Tales from the Garage forum of the BrickArms Forums.
