Saw this on the new this morning...Lego terrorist :lol:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,461647,00.html

So I looked up the website that makes the add ons for the little figures and come to find out they make little WWII stuff as well. ( infantry, SS, weapons, ghilli suit) Also weapons like RPG's, Thompsons, Colt 45's & sniper rifles.

I've ordered from BrickArms before and don't consider them bad at all... Their quality is good and they fill a good niche!
When I was younger I always wanted guns and stuff so I could play Lego army. Really, it isn't too much different than rogue knights and pirates. Just more modern. Getting killed by an AK-47 is probably not significantly more painful than being whacked up by swords.

Oh dont get me wrong Ryan,...to bad I couldnt get my hands on that cool stuff for my legos when I was little. There is a pic of a soldier in a ghillie suit with a M21 thats cool!

Lego just didnt have anything like that when I was a kid. (just blocks and people) I had no idea that Legos were formed in the 30's and started out production in 1949. :!:

I don't think so. BrickArms has been primarily designing custom CNCd - then injection molded weapons for Lego. For a Lego scale, they're very decent.

What's crazy is that when I was a kid we played with cowboys and indians, Texians and Mexicans as well as USA vs the dastardly Germans...when are people gonna learn that there are truly good guys and bad guys in this world...



Personally I like the US guy with the .45 and the Garand.
