The arrows are hilarious, the ALS ice bucket thing is stupid and just like comitting suicide

Every time I think I've decided what shield I want to use for my medieval guys, you guys come out with another one that might work better. Nice work on the shield.

I like how the arrows are slanted slightly; I can imagine they look much better like that than if they were perpendicular to whatever they hit, and its nice that -with the half arrows- you've created a piece for something you couldn't really do beforehand.

Oh, and I like your skyrim helmets:

Yes, dumping a bucket of ice over your head to raise awareness for ALS is the same as killing yourself.

Must...resist...urge...to make....arrow in the knee joke. Must...not....make....joke...must...resist....AAAARRGH!

The new gear does look nice, though I don't like how the crossbows are molded so that the minifig can't properly hold and aim them like they can with the lego crossbows (though it looks like it wouldn't be hard to make a small handle for the bows).

Ok, made it through with making a Skyrim joke. I used to do that all the time, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Oh man, these are perfect. As soon as I can work out a budget during this semester, I am so going to pick up a few of these.

That joke used to be funny.
Then I broke you over my knee.

Well, what about the people who get ALS from doing it? surely there are less self destructive ways of proceeding?

I'm still waiting for someone to do the ice bucket challenge with a fire-fighting helicopter.
