Win custom LEGO accessories by BrickForge!

Here is a bit of update from one of our favorite LEGO customer, BrickForge. BrickForge is well-known for their great variety and excellent quality custom LEGO accessories. They don’t just focus on weapons like most LEGO customizers, but also carry various tools, accessories, and everyday items for your LEGO minifigures. 🙂

While BrickForge regularly adds new items to their collection, lately they have been focusing on printing more and more of their custom LEGO elements. So now instead of just plain shields, you can get them with beautiful printing. They are also offering printed versions of many of their weapons, so for example the blade would be silver while the grip is bronze. They look quite beautiful, and the quality is excellent.

To bring awareness to the new items, BrickForge has been running regular giveaways on various social-media platforms. Currently these are run as weekly events, so you can enter to win a collection of new items every week. I won’t be able to post about these on a regular basis because there are many other topics to cover, however you can follow BrickForge on the following platforms for updates (the links will take you to BrickForge’s accounts): Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram and YouTube. Just follow the instructions (usually just have to like a post, or comment, or something simple like that) to enter the contests for a chance to win.

Besides entering the contests, you can of course also buy products directly at the BrickForge’s online shop, and in addition the BrickForge team attends many of the LEGO events and conventions around the USA as well, so if you are planning to go to any of those, look out for their booth.

If you have any questions about BrickForge’s custom LEGO accessories, feel free to ask. I use them myself and own pretty much everything they ever made. If you already have some items from BrickForge you are welcome to share your own review as well in the comment section below.

Here is another great video by the BrotherhoodWorkshop that was created for the “How It Should Have Ended” YouTube channel. In case you are not familiar with it, HISHE features funny alternate endings to movies. This is the second collaboration between the BrotherhoodWorkshop and HISHE. The previous video was an alternate ending to The LEGO Movie (see link at the end of this post). The second video is a recreation of a famous scene from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. 🙂

LEGO Stop Motion Video by the Brotherhood Workshop

In this LEGO stop-motion video by the BrotherhoodWorkshop Aragorn calls on the Army of the Dead to fight the Orcs, just like in the movie. However he didn’t consider that even the Orcs know who to call…

This is a beautifully created stop-motion video, especially taking into account how many characters are involved. However what brickfilmers have been most curious about is how Kevin created the ghost effect. So he posted a behind-the-scenes video explaining how the ghosts were done. It is a pretty involved process, but very effective.

Unfortunately the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets used in this video have been retired, however if you are looking for some Middle Earth sets and characters the LEGO The Hobbit sets are still available at the Online LEGO Shop. And of course the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 is also an official LEGO set you can find here.

So what do you think? How did you like this LEGO stop-motion video? And what you do think of the tutorial? Did you find it helpful? Do you do LEGO animation yourself? Feel free to share your thoughts and own experiences in the comment section below! 😉

Also, if you would like to learn more about LEGO stop-motion, I highly recommend checking out the other videos from the BrotherhoodWorkshop listed below, or you can also visit their YouTube Channel directly for more.
