Will is working on a BAR!?! :0 I can't wait! But I'm wondering what the 'buzgun' actually is.

Hey...how did you manage to get your hands on soem prototypes?, did you go to brickfest or brickfair or something?, or did you ask when you made your order?.

Back on topic: Very good review!...do you think that you will be able to get like the alien plasma blade in that white transperant colour or is that a one off?

Great review Anderson, I always love finding more and more weapons in unusual colors, and thanks for the clean photos. Spartan, please don't ask about the prototypes, he is keeping the source confidential.

As that accessory is not yet mass produced, it's a bit early when it comes to color options. However, as the first wave of 2009 BrickArms accessories shows, Will's molder can match TLG colors quite well and other color selections are a possibility. What exactly they are, though, is a secret only Will knows!

Now, after what Badger said, I wanted to say that if you look at any clear accessory from BA, you'll notice a slight purplish tint.

Amazingly good and detailed Review!
I love that you used a black minfig , that puts the "Spotlight" perfectly on the Weapons! I do have to try this next time if i make a review :)
As for the MG42 im totally at your opinion its a bit to big ( as big as minifig , at least) but as we all know , all Brickarms CANT be in total 1:1 to lego.
I totally LOVE the trans Clear . Jesus that is amazing :O. I wouldnt do that as mass production ( in trans clear) but i would love to have 1 Trans clear mg *drool*
Unfortunatley you didn't reviewed the PPsh and Panzerfaust , but okay still amazing review , good work mate! :-)
