“I hear Will’s working on a new mold! What’s going to be in it! When is it coming out!”
You went through your parents’ closet the week before Christmas, didn’t you? Not knowing what great items are just around the corner is half the fun! The excitement! The anticipation! The sleepless nights!
So you still want to spoil the surprise? The issue is that Will rarely develops a mold with a set list of weapons in mind. Very often, the list of weapons that are going to be included in a particular mold changes daily as Will experiments with various designs or tests molds on his home CNC. If Will posted a list, chances are that list would be inaccurate in a matter of days, if not hours, and Will doesn’t want to disappointed anyone who was excited to see a weapon they are really interested in listed, only to see it not be included in the mold.
Keep in mind, for Will to design and prototype that design can sometimes take only a few hours. However, in developing a solid-steel production mold, filling that mold with designs, having the mold cut by a professional tooler, making sure every cavity in the mold is perfect, and injecting that mold thousands of time to produce enough BrickArms accessories to meet demand takes MONTHS and a considerable amount of resources (mucho, mucho $$$$). It's a painstaking process and frustrating delays can occur, but ultimately, Will taking his time to make sure the production of new BrickArms accessories is done RIGHT ensures these items are up to the extremely high standards of quality and craftsmanship that builders expect from BrickArms.
Given that delays can occur at any step in the design, molding, and stock update processes, Will doesn’t want his fans marking their calendars only to see an announced release date for new BrickArms items come and go with no new BrickArms items due to some unforeseen event. Rest assured that Will and the rest of the BrickArms Forums staff will keep everyone informed about new accessories, especially once they're available on the BrickArms website, but until Will is ready to do so, no specific dates or other information about the release of new items will be posted in a public forum or given in a personal message.
We would ask members to respect this and not to contact Will or any other staff member for such information.
Thanks for understanding!
