2013 LEGO Super Heroes Iron Man minifigures

by Thita (admin) on February 12, 2013

LEGO Super Heroes fans, and specifically Iron Man fans should be very happy with the whole line-up of LEGO Iron Man suits coming out this year! Below is a picture by flickr member Solid Brix Studios, lining up the two LEGO Iron Man minifigures from 2012, and the three new suits coming out in 2013. Aren’t they just sweet? Especially when lined up like that? 😉

You can click the image for a larger view, if you like to take a closer look. Notice how the printing gets more and more fancy on the Iron Man Suits. Also, the LEGO Iron Man’s released in 2012 have duller gold highlights on the suit and the helmet compared to the 2013 versions. Below is a picture of the new Iron Man suits from the back. The heads come with double-sided printing to give Tony Stark plenty of expressions.

And of course the War Machine suit is going to be super special! We talked about this minifigure before. See: LEGO Super Heroes War Machine Minifig

Amazing printing isn’t it? The new LEGO Iron Man Suits are scheduled for release later in the year with the LEGO Super Heroes sets based on the new Iron Man 3 movie coming in May 2013. Here is the extended trailer from Super Bowl weekend to give you a taste. 😛

If you don’t want to wait until then, you can get the new LEGO Iron Man suits from sellers on eBay. They are expensive, but if you want to be the first kid (or adult) on the block who owns them, eBay is your friend!

So what do you think? How do you like the new LEGO Iron Man suits? Are you planning to collect them all? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below! 🙂

Custom LEGO Weapons by Brick Warfare

by Thita (admin) on February 11, 2013

in LEGO Customizers

If you like to equip your LEGO minifigs with realistic modern weapons you will be quite disappointed with LEGO’s own selection; a couple of generic shotguns and handguns are your only choices. This is understandable as LEGO is opposed to realistic violence. 🙂

However if you want more, fortunately there are other options; several LEGO customizers focus on realistic modern weaponry for your minifigs. Most well known are BrickArms and Sidan Toys – both carrying an amazing range of modern weapons and other military accessories in very high quality.

There are also a couple of customizers who recently came on the minifig customization scene; today I will introduce you the LEGO custom weapons selection of Brick Warfare, a new USA based customizer.

Custom LEGO Weapons Attachments by Brick Warfare

SELECTION: First of all I would like to mention that that Brick Warfare’s only focus is modern weaponry. You will not find swords and spears for your historic LEGO minifigs (you can check out BrickForge for those). As far as modern weapons and accessories, the selection of Brick Warfare is huge! There are at least 60 different LEGO weapons and accessories; ranging from handguns, assault-riffles and missile-launchers, to small accessories like scopes, grenades and attachment-clips.

QUALITY: The quality of the Brick Warfare LEGO customs is excellent. If you are familiar with BrickArms products, they are comparable in every way. Brick Warfare also uses the same ABS plastic as LEGO, so the weapons are quite durable.

DETAIL: Brick Warfare’s products are very detailed to resemble real guns. There are also attachments like scopes and ammo-clips you can add to enhance their realism and functionality. I think anyone who is into realistic LEGO guns would be quite pleased, but I would not recommend most of these products for a small child who likely won’t appreciate the details and would easily loose the small pieces and attachments.

COLORS: Most of the products are available in black and light-gray. I also have some camo-printed guns from Brick Warfare that are super nice, but I believe these are limited to a few products only, or perhaps special events.

Custom LEGO Weapons Special Ops Pack by Brick Warfare

PRICES: Prices range between 50 cents to a couple of dollars – in line with other LEGO customizers, and very reasonable in my opinion. There are also various Weapon Packs if you want to equip a whole platoon with the greatest range of weapons.

Custom LEGO Weapons Accessories Pack by Brick Warfare

In summary I would say I highly recommend Brick Warfare’s custom LEGO weapons and accessories, especially for those who appreciate detail and realism. You can check out their website at BrickWarfare.com if you would like to learn more about them.

And if you already own Brick Warfare’s products and would like to share your own review and thoughts, please post them in the comment section below. I’m sure our readers would appreciate it! 🙂
