Welcome! Brickforge is operated by two of the finest minifig customizers around - RedBean & Armothe. Both independently and together they contribute much to the minifig customization community in the way of custom minifigs, designs, templates, documentation and most notably - their own brand of plastic-injected custom minifig accessories. First and foremost this is a hobby for us. We do not run BrickForge like a 24hr WalMart. Please have patience with us as we continue to fill orders and offer new items to the community.   Announcements: Product Changes (6/17/08) Shortly after BrickWorld we will be undertaking a series of minor changes to the way products are ordered. Our ecommerce shopping cart is just about ready to process your orders more fluidly, and securely. Below are a few changes to expect: - Credit Cards & PayPal will now be accepted at checkout. - All products will be sold individually; no more sets.   Current products affected: Greek Armor Sets, Battle Armor Sets, Pauldrons (no neck piece) - Pauldrons, Horns & Vambraces will continue to be poly-bagged and sold in pairs. - Our new Summer 2008 products will be available on the new system, not through the existing order form. I think everyone will be happy with the new ordering system. Let us know if you have any concerns.    BrickWorld! (6/16/08) BrickWorld registrants and attendees will be the first to sample 20 new items from BrickForge as they make their way to Chicago for the second annual BrickWorld show. These items will be available for order shortly after the BrickWorld event. Paid registrants can expect to receive a BrickForge/BrickWorld exclusive "Steel" Space Marine. If you are attending, please be sure to stop by our booth and check us out. During BrickWorld we will continue to take online orders, but unavailable to ship. Brown Cows; Black Cows In Stock (5/23/08) These are long overdue and we profusely apologize for the wait. The delay was due to our commitment in keeping our products compatible with other popular building-bricks. I'm happy to announce that our Black Cow is a bit darker in hue and better matches the 'official' Black. As you can see we've also added a white ring around the eye area where there is normally just a dimple.                                The Brown Cow also has a screen-printed eye; similar to the Brown Horse. After five months the plastic is the closest we've come to matching the official Brown. Because it's not quite 100% we will continue to pursue a closer color match - much like we did with the Black Cow.                                 Reasonably Clever to Host 'Pigs on the Wing' Building Contest (5/19/08) LEGO denizen Tim Gould has teamed up with Reasonably Clever to expand the idea of 'Cave Racers' by challenging builders to construct a contraption piloted by animals instead of a standard minifig. BrickForge's own RedBean and Armothe have been invited to judge the competition and offered up a few prizes as well. Below is an example of a valid entry using a BF Holstien cow. I'm pretty sure I can speak on both of us when I say that such an application of our Barnyard animals was never imagined.                                Update: Operations Change (5/5/08) We are happy to announce that our transition to a new location is complete! It was quite the process but now that it is finished we are ready, set to get moving again. Hopefully this time of adjustment appeared seamless to the community. Our new address is:                                                                                                                    BrickForge                                                     4676 Sullivan Rd.                                                  Springfield, OH 45502 Brown Animals (Sheep & Pigs) (5/2/08) What's better than a few Pink Pigs wandering around the pen? How about some brown, muddy Pigs wallowing in their mudholes? Brown Pigs are a must to complete any barnyard MOC. Our Brown Sheep will also add a bit of diversity to your existing LEGOscape. Available now!                                                                                     BrickForge to Attend BrickWorld 2008, Chicago, IL (4/28/08) Last year had to be one of the most spectacular times I've ever experienced. I've been interacting in the LEGO community since 1997 and was finally able to meet the people behind the names I've seen online over the past 10 yrs. I'm hoping those I met last year will be back this year as the BrickWorld team launches another successful show beginning Wednesday, June 19 and lasting through the 22nd. If you are a hardcore LEGO enthusiast or simply local to the greater Chicago area please consider registering!                                        Bronze - Back in Stock (2/5/08) Just an FYI - Bronze Falcatas, Vambraces, Pauldrons and Great Helms are back in stock - along with a few other accessories. Black Cows arriving soon! LAMLRadio Talks about Minifig Customization (1/12/08) LAMLRadio's James Wadsworth hits up Armothe and Kaminoan for a discussion on the hobby we've all grown to love - Minifig Customization. I had a great time and didn't want the conversation to end. Be sure to tune in and send James ideas for future shows!                                                                                 http://radio.laml.org/ New Color - Dark Tan (1/2/08) RedBean & myself are really digging the new LEGO Trolls. We can't wait until the green-skinned ones arrive but until then we've been having fun with Dark Tan - so much we decided to run a few of our accessories in this elusive new color.
