BrickTW

Has anybody seen this BrickTW store? They've got all kinds of chinese-style custom weapons, but I've never heard of them before today.

I want, like, all of it. Even the pink stuff. And they've got all kinds of trans color sets in the "Other" category.

The more I look, the more places like this there are:

How do these things happen without anyone telling me?

I knew about Amazing Armory, but not the first one.

I really like the rightmost sword in that picture. The armor on the right looks like it would make good futuristic armor, too.

No, but damn I am definatly looking at it now, theres some pretty sick pieces here. Hope they do a modern equipment some day. I had problems ordering from Amazing Armory.

Yep, there are shaping up to be a TON of third party Lego oriented companies. Let's see... We've got:
BrickArms
BrickForge
Little Armory
(or the 'big three')

Amazing Armory (just found them yesterday)
BrickTW (New to me as of five minutes ago)
Unknown Artist
Arealight

And that's just the ones that make plastic and resin accessories, not even the cloth ones. Add to that Mega Bloks, Best Lock, and the multitude of other ABS brick construction toy companies... And its shaping up to be huge. Course, tracking down the most recent shops for each shop can be more of a problem in some cases... But, still. Plenty of choices. Equip your minifigs well.

I'm going through Amazing Armory's stock. Hmm, potential...

it all looks so good but to make a real army out of this would cost way to much

Damn you Stubby! You've just made me spend the Family Holiday savings...

Great find and thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Negative comment: Some parts look very, very delicate and that makes me cautious as they could be seriously damaged in transit or in the making process. Also, the price!

I currently have my eye on some of those Arealight Twi'leck head and curvy female torsos.... Not to mention the 'swoop' hair. Couple of those would be sweat.

These look better than Brickarms, no offence to the Enigmathatisabadgerorwhateverthefeckhisnameis.

I happen to like <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of the Brickarms stuff better than the alternatives, because <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of their modern weapons seem more true to 'lego' design ascetics. They aren't super crazy details, just a sort of stylized version of what an official lego version of those kinds of weapons might look like. That's just me, though. That said, I can't wait for Amazing Armory to come out with their WIP P90. Far too much Stargate kind of put me in love with that weapon.

Ugly Duckling just posted a couple more links to custom retailers - Slick Bricks is mostly interesting for their zombie heads, while Minifig.cult seems to have a lot of the BrickTW stuff but also a whole bunch of pretty sweet ninja and SWAT gear from Sidan Toys. I'm never going to have money again.

Sledgehammer and flashlight!

Riot shield and gas mask is all I see... I really need to try and find more shops like this.
