Okay, thanks to you guys giving me your opinions, I ordered some stuff from BrickForge. I spent a little over thirty dollars. http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=309&page=1 x6 {smile} http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=302&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=300&page=2 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=256&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=292&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=352&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=358&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=298&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=348&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=275&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=395&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=294&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=294&page=2 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=295&page=2 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=270&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=390&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=392&page=1 http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=296&page=1 I think that's it. Once I get them in 5-7 days(I just ordered them today) I'll take pics of 'em on different figs and post 'em in this thread. I'm going to use the military helmets for a Great Escape motorcycle chase MOC. The rest are parts I know will come in handy for different things, especially pirate and castle. Thanks for helping me make a decision, guys!

Yup, I can't wait! I know they'll be great and awesome. The stahlhelm ranks at the top of the list of the things I've gotten so far. In case you are wondering, I'm planning on using the tan hero hair for Hilts in The Great Escape MOC; it isn't exact, but it's close. You work at BF, right? If you do, I wanted to ask you if you could ask the boss if it would be possible to produce M-16's and AK-47's. Another great thing to make would be a realistic cowboy hat in different colors to go with the reigns and gunbelt. {smile} The fedora LEGO is re-using as a cowboy hat is okay, but when I showed a friend the collectable minifigure cowboy, he said it looked like a tan version of Indiana Jones. ![]() One more set of questions: does the BF silver color match LEGO's? And, are BF's decals/stickers the same quality as LEGO's? I'm eyeing those sticker sheets... }:) I have tons of uses planned for future purchases: I want to do a Greco-Roman army with those awesome helmets and an Arab army with the Canannite sickle-swords. Imagine it: figs of King Leonidas and the 300 unleashing their fury upon the foes of Greece. :ph43r: |

A cowboy hat does sound good... I haven't compared the two silvers closely, but I can say at first glance it looks the same. Don't wanna sound to much like a salesmen, but the the Sticker Sheets are, simply put, amazing. I thought they looked good enough on the sheet, but when applied to a fig they're stunning. ~G |

Yup, the cowboy hat would make my day-er... year. Good, as long as the silver is almost identical, I'm fine with it. Thanks for the info on the sticker sheets, I think I'll pick one up, maybe even two or three. I'd like all of the Napoleonic ones in this one: http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=361&page=1 I might use the redcoat decals for Royal Marines in my pirate MOCs. And, then there are all of the castle ones, in particular, the monk with crucifix. I have a plain brown torso that is just waiting for that. I have a ship MOC ready for when my package arrives. I'll use it to demonstrate different pieces like the beards, hero hair, and military sword. {smile} EDIT: Okay, I was looking at my order invoice, and it said that if I use my store account e-mail when I register for the forum, I will be eligible for forum-exclusive accessories. For real? I can get stuff you don't normally offer in the store by joining the forum? Is that correct? :hm: EDIT #2: http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.ph...&cat=385&page=1 Where does this hair piece come from? Sorry for all the questions.

Yup, by joining the forum you can get a few unrealesed colors of certain items. You'd be welcome on the BrickForge forums, I'd say. ![]() The Hairpiece is custom cast by Arealight, I believe. Don't be sorry, answering questions makes me feel smart. ~G |

Interesting...I'll have to join. I assume I join on the forums themselves, correct? Oh, too bad. I was hoping it was out of stock and would be back before long. Oh, well. Looking forward to the new "maverick hair" piece. I only saw a little bit of it in a pic, may I ask why it is called that and when it'll be available?

Yup, on the Forums. See you there! Unfortunately, I can't answer either of your questions about the hair besides a very general it should be on the site soon. More than that I don't know. ~G |

Yup, see you there! Hmmm...mabye it'll be out when the musical instruments come out; September 1st? I'm just guessing. I'm really getting in to BF; I'm upset with myself that I never bought from them before! ![]() Thanks for answering my questions.
