LEGO customs by Breakthrough Army

in LEGO Customizers

There is a Hong Kong based LEGO customizer I have been watching for a while named Breakthrough Army. They came on the LEGO customization scene early 2012 and have released some very impressive custom LEGO minifigure accessories. Check them out! 🙂

The reason I have been hesitant to introduce Breakthrough Army to our readers is because the prices are so high. In fact these are some of the most expensive custom LEGO accessories I have ever come across. I have been waiting for prices to come down, I even contacted them to see if they could do better, but it seems that prices are not going anywhere and LEGO fans are willing to pay them. At the same time Breakthrough Army keeps coming out with more awesome custom accessories, so I decided it is time to feature them here, as despite their success they are still relatively unknown.

Breakthrough Army’s custom LEGO accessories are super exclusive, and again; expensive. Their accessories are for your elite LEGO troops. So if you are the LEGO fan who has everything, and still have some cash left over (if you do, contact me, I would love to know your secret!), or you just have to own the most unique custom LEGO items, you might want to check these out.

Breakthrough Army’s custom LEGO accessories are centered around fantasy and video-game characters. Their line of products is small, but very unique, focusing mainly on various armor pieces; chest-armor, helmets, vambraces, etc. The pieces are cast in white ABS plastic then either professionally painted, or left plain, so you can work on it yourself.

There are some really beautiful and unique pieces like the World of Warcraft armor above, or unusual characters like the Scream face-mask below.

My most favorite custom LEGO accessory is the armor-piece below. Although it was originally designed for Vegeta from Dragon Ball, it works great for other Asian and fantasy characters.

There is also this pretty custom LEGO Queen Amidala dress that (unfortunately) came out right about the same time the LEGO version of Queen Amidala in #. However if your Queen needs an additional dress (and what queen doesn’t), she might like this one. 🙄

If you are interested in Breakthrough Army’s custom LEGO accessories you can check out their BrickLink store, or eBay store. You can also see more images of their products in their flickr gallery.

What do you think? How do you like these custom LEGO accessories? Are you planning to gift your minifigures with any of them? Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Legends of Chima first trailer!

by Thita (admin) on November 29, 2012

in Other LEGO Sets & Themes

I’m so used to posting Ninjago episodes on Thursdays I don’t know what to do with myself. LOL! Anyhow, at the end of the last episode of Ninjago, Cartoon Network showed the first trailer of LEGO Legends of Chima – I thought to share that with you guys here so we can all discuss it instead of lamenting about the end of Ninjago. One legend is over and a new one begins… behold the Legends of Chima! 😛

Below is the trailer for LEGO Legends of Chima. Not very long, but it still gives us some hints and clues about the overall story and characters. (You can read more about the LEGO Legends of Chima story-line here: LEGO Legends of Chima Sets Pictures!)

I’m very hopeful for Legends of Chima. First of all it is created by the same team that was working on Ninjago. That could only mean good things. I know a lot of Ninjago fans are upset that the Ninjago saga is over, but I would suggest giving Chima a chance. In some ways it is a continuation of Ninjago as the same team created it, and it also gives us a fresh story. Also, it is likely that it will be even better as the designers learned a lot from the Ninjago experience, having a chance to perfect their skills. 😀

We have already discussed the first wave of LEGO Legends of Chima sets (see: LEGO Legends of Chima: The Story Revealed), and I have also heard rumors that larger sets are also coming later in 2013. Things like a lion-castle (maybe something like what you see on the first picture?) and an eagle-fort. That would be awesome! And how about a crocodile-lair as shown in the trailer? Wouldn’t that be awesome? 🙄

I really like the nature-fantasy blend of Legends of Chima. It also carries over the idea of both flying and ground vehicles from Ninjago.

Legends of Chima will also have large versions of at least some of the characters also called constraction figures (Construction + Action = Constraction – a term used by LEGO for large action figures) as the animals seems to be able to transform to a huge form when they use the power of chi.

There is also going to be a LEGO Legends of Chima game called Speedorz, based on interesting animal-shaped bikes powered by ripcords and given various challenges. (You can see all the Speedorz game-sets here: LEGO Legends of Chima Sets Pictures!)

So what do you think? How do you like LEGO Legends of Chima after seeing the trailer? I would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you are a Ninjago fan! Also, have you noticed other interesting of hidden details that may give us more clues about the story and the character? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss below! 😉
