BrickForge vs Brickarms; which is best?

I have been thinking about which way to spend $25-$30. I decided that I should buy some minifig accessories. So, I looked at both sites, and I'm leaning toward BrickForge. I would love to get some of these:

http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=298&page=1

http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=395&page=1

http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=390&page=1

http://www.brickforge.com/store/home.php?cat=303

http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=257&page=1

Plus others! There is a lot of stuff to choose from. {smile}

But, I could get this:

http://www.brickarms.com/toys/Weapons_Pack...mpunk_Pack.aspx

http://www.brickarms.com/toys/Weapons_Packs/Blade_Pack.aspx I especially like the rapier in this one. It would suit my Napoleonic MOCs better than the LEGO pirate cutlass.

I don't know, though, as I've never bought anything from either company. Could people give me their opinions of the two brands? I especially am worried about the quality. I don't want to get something and have it snap in two as soon as I get it out of the box. :cry:

While Both companies make supurb products, I'd lean towards BrickForge, thier weaponry is thicker, as a general rule, and so more durable.

I thought that might be the case. BrickArms stuff always looked thin and delicate to me, but I didn't know for certain. I think if I get one or two more reviews positive for BF, I will buy from them without hesitation. :war: Thanks, Geko!

EDIT: Oh, one more thing: do BF accessories get worn out? Like, say, after holding it a lot, does, say, the phaser's handle get worn out?

BrickForge. But I'm biased. :evil:

And Geko is correct about the "wearing out", I've never had that happen, BF products are very high quality.

I would go with brickforge mainly because most of their items are unique while brickarms is mainly guns and whatnot. I haven't bought from any of them but the quality looks similar.

I would go with BrickForge. I've bought from them several times, and their selection is much better than Brickarms's selection where the castle line is concerned. Also, BrickForge has excellent customer service and their quality is impressive.
