LEGO Lord of the Rings epic battle video

The BrotherhoodWorkshop is at it again, with another wonderful LEGO stop-motion video. In fact this is their biggest LEGO video to date, also entered at the Machinima Interactive Film Festival. Enjoy! 😛

The battle for Middle Earth has begun! All of Isengard is unleashed against the fortress of Helm’s Deep. In the midst of the chaos and carnage, one solitary elf seeks to aid his vertically challenged friend… no matter what’s the cost…

 
Awesome LEGO video, huh? And the punch-line is really funny! Also, how many times can you spot Chewbacca in the video? He has a habit of showing up… on BOTH sides of the conflict. What other hidden characters can you find? Share them in the comment section below! 🙄

The BrotherhoodWorkshop also posted some behind-the-scenes pictures of the creative process at their Facebook Page. It took them 3 labor-intensive weeks to film the video, then more time to add sound, visual effects, and color correcting. If you are interested in making LEGO videos, it is worth to check out those details. You might also want to watch LEGO Brickfilms Behind-the-Scenes Tips & Tricks for more ideas.

LEGO customs by Breakthrough Army

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! 😉
