Things that make you go...

Thanks for making me smile .guin!  For more digital Lego artistry check out his flickr photostream!

Custom clones

The_custom_one has added some neat new clones to his flickr stream. They have custom decals and printed heads apparently (which look to be similar to the old Jango Fett face).

This is Squawk, I like the teeth/eyes on the helmet of this one...

Phase 2 Captain Rex, with some nice cloth accessories (I'm not sure if these are MMCB or if he has made them himself) and brickarm pistols.

Commander Ganch, quite a well detailed clone here.

There are more clones on his photostream if you want to check them out... it's difficult to know exactly how much of these figs have been done by him from scratch because he doesn't say but they still look great after all the work has gone in to put them together.

It's not a custom minifig...

...but it is amazing!

This british semi-detached house by snaillad reminds me so much of my grandparent's old house... ahh, good memories. Check out his photostream for more pictures.

Burakki's Bricks Second Minifig Design Contest

Just a quick reminder that the second minifig design contest will be closing at 11.59 GMT 9th October. 

"The year is 3012 and the competetors are gearing up for the next Legolympic Games. You are tasked with creating an entry for these futuristic games - you may draw your inspiration from the modern or ancient olympic games but this is a contest to let your imagination run wild." Head on over to the contest group at Flickr for more information and rules.

The winner will recieve 15% discount from the wonderful people at Firestar Toys (stockists of Lego and custom accessories from top custom houses) and a selection of custom made accessories as pictured above. There is also likely to be runners-up prizes if the entries warrant them.

Don't forget 1st October!

Just a quick reminder that Arealight and Brickarms resellers will have some exciting new products avaliable from the 1st October.

Arealight will be releasing 16 new printed pieces as of October 1st. These include various helmets and jetpacks. Make sure you check out Arealight's flickr photostream for individual close up shots of these soon to be released accessories.

BrickArms will be releasing their second volume of Mystery Pack via their authorised resellers on October 1st. The first volume was very good and I expect that this volume will be just as successful. Your incentive to buy this time is the possibility of snagging a 24k or prototype weapon. The contents will include a minigun, tactical sword, blood splattered gun and raygun. Please see the BrickArms website for a list of authorised resellers, if you're in the UK head over to minifigforlife.com.

Dont forget that you can pick up BrickArms and Arealight accessories at Firestar Toys if you are in the UK. Your one stop shop for all things related to minifigs and customising!
