Right from the start I'm going to come right out and say that I do play with the BrickArms products to test what kind of wear and tear I can put them through for my MOCs I also like the work look parts have when there in minifigure hands. Anyway I guess I'll get this long over-due review started with the semi-latest and greatest from on of the best accessory stores, BrickArms!
*Insert Your Own Cheering Noises Here*
We'll start off with the ever so nice looking and more than playable rust colored weapon of choice. Kevin 'WisrthanU' tells me this is a
Buzz Gun except it is missing the blade. It's still a fabulous weapon with loads of potential. I can't wait to see how Will plans to release this thing when production is in full swing. (I'm not exactly great with names, please forgive me if I butcher a few from the newest weapons).
Speaking of butchering whats that, oh yes this is definitively the new
Glaive. Perfect for any butcher or even in the hands of a Post-Apocalyptic warrior trying to fight off hoards of zombies attacking. This weapon can travel through any them whether it be Castle or even Space and for those reasons I think it has earned a spot as one of my favorite weapons by BrickArms.
Speaking of favorites another one of mine has to be the
Heavy Blaster Pistol or as I usually end up butchering the name and calling it the 'Short Blaster Pistol'. Anyway being the big Sci-fi builder that I am (*cough* *cough*) I think that the potential of this weapon is great and has a lot of possibilities in the space theme. The details on it are also astounding and really quite eye-pleasing while still not being to many for me to handle.
While still on the subject of space I'd like to squeeze in the
Photon Pistol that I'm sure most will know from Star Trek and it is a wonderful weapon, but I'm afraid it doesn't fit in much with other themes (even Space ones) due to how popular it is and how detailed Will's design is. It is still a great weapon for Star Trek, but in my opinion it only works with Star Trek.
Next up on the review table we have the
P08 Luger and I must say it is a fantastic looking weapon especially in gunmetal. It also looks great in the hands of a leader for you own 'Military Squad'. Next we have the
Amo Clips and I must say there seems to be plenty of those to go around. The look great and all, but it almost seems to small for Will to market by single amounts or even selling them four at a time. Maybe 10 or 25, but then I don't know how many users would actually want them. They're still a great accessory to see in any battle field creations and are a nice clean design. I would now like to draw your attention to the
MG42, a nice clean long weapon with loads of potential and it doesn't seem to let down at all. As the Mods and Admins have already shown us in the Tales from the Garage forum it works well with Space, WWII, and even in a nice rust color I'm sure it would look great in the hands of a SteamPunk criminal or a new adventurer. The final item I'd like to review in this photo is the
Amo Chain and it is great especially since it also fits with many BrickArms weapons and has the playability to be used with them. Over all the Amo Chain is a total win for BrickArms.
We're nearly finished and it has been quite a run... wait nearly no that can't be right. I think I have to wait until next photo to say nearly. Anyway the first item I would like to review in this photo would have to be the
Longslide Pistol which is a quite Sci-fi weapon and has the perfect amount of detail to look... well... fantastic! I would now like to draw your attention to the
Trans-Yellow Green in the back of the photo and I like the weapons in trans such as the rockets and other weapons, but the
U-clips in this color were a major let down. I was hoping they would be as playable as the regular U-clips, but as I would build my Rocket chain and then dismantle it almost all of them seemed to break as I tried to pull the rocket off. Maybe I wasn't using it right, but if I wasn't then I pretty sure a younger kid would be breaking them too. Hopefully they'll toughen up some later, but for now I am left with little trans U-Clips.
Alright now we are nearly done and I am sad because it has been such fun to right this review. I will have to come back and try this again sometime. On the better side this photo is all for the
Bayonet. How cool is that. Maybe I could have been more creative with the use, but I'm sure it will get the point across. The point is quite sharp and lovely if I do say so myself. I think I managed to pick up 5 or 6 at BrickWorld because of how great they look with Pirates. You can see how I used them
here and
here.
One of our last items in the review is the
trans-clear Paintball marker and Will has really done a great job on this. All the details remained and its completely trans. I am also pleased to report that I didn't have problems with this trans-weapon like I did the trans-yellow ones. Our final weapon in the review is the
Retro Raygun and it looks great. All three of mine in there original colors give a great and different effect just by the color. Nice work on this rayguns Will and the color of the one in the photo is sweet. If that color ever went into production it would look great on some weapons.
I guess that's it for the review. Thanks to Will for the BrickArms and thanks to the BrickArms staff for the opportunity to review their product.
