So is the chrome stuck on these going to stick on even better than the chrome Lego uses? I don't know if Lego still uses the same processas they did before, but I have some old chrome-plated swords and lightsaber hilts that have the chrome gone on the handle. It won't even flake or chip on the handle from the constant exchange between minifig hands (or at least won't have as much of a chance to)?the enigma that is badger wrote:... and these chrome parts won't chip or flake!
Correct! LEGO uses another method to chrome their parts, and that method, while much more amenable to mass production, doesn't bond the chrome as tightly and securely to the part as electroplating.OneEye589 wrote:So is the chrome stuck on these going to stick on even better than the chrome Lego uses? . . .

To produce these accessories, Will uses electroplating, a VERY expensive process that produces some amazing results. However, I would point out that the price per part in those chome packs is ~$2, not much more than a regular BrickArms accessory.Cpt. Zipps wrote:I say yay but the price seems a tad high. Then again I don't know about the production costs.
Most likely not. If you're interested in a single chrome item, you could try ToywizAdrianTheGeek wrote:Do you think that they'll eventually be sold by themselves?
