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.

BrickForge Forum (8/15/08)
Interest in Minifig Customization must be growing. Every day we receive numerous e-mails asking: 'how to make such-and-such?' or 'what tools do you use?' or 'what do you think of my latest creation?' We do our best to respond to each and every one of your e-mails but decided it was high time we built a forum where such questions can be asked. We've invited several talented individuals to participate and provided a place for you to showcase your custom minifigs. There is even a forum where you can interact with BrickForge projects and get the latest scoop on upcoming projects and exclusive products! Be sure to register with the same e-mail address you use at the store as it makes you eligible to purchase forum-exclusive accessories not available anywhere else. See you there! http://www.brickforge.com/forum

BrickForge Staff Retreat (7/23/08)
Our staff is taking a long awaited vacation and will be unable to ship and answer e-mail requests during these few days. Orders placed between July 23-31 will be delayed in shipping. No worries though, we plan to keep the store open so people can still browse, plan their wish list and order if they so choose.

BrickForge Releases New Items (7/9/08)

As life-long LEGO enthusiasts RedBean and myself have become passionate about not only the accessories that detail a minifig, but the various themes TLG has gifted us with. We were ecstatic when the Vikings theme was released and now we are excited to see the advent of the new fantasy Castle theme - both which coincidentally mirror our own personal visions. This time around - instead of simply making some cool weapons, we wanted to create a suite of accessories that could help inspire future themes. The below prototypes offer up the elements to create six distinct custom minifigs:
