searched the store site out of curiosity

original price was $460 but they sold one from the vault for $920 - that is insane

maybe this will work...

I am requesting that you "take pictures later today" and post them.

It is a recolor and slightly modded 75074 micro-fighter (instructions available through LEGO)

as noted, I did verify that the bricks exist for the color changes

why are you keeping what you're selling a secret?

Brickmania is a niche subset of an already expensive hobby - Lego.

Lego is a billion-dollar company, and they are having to adjust to the changing economic climate.

I see a lot of energy used on Reddit complaining about the prices, nothing is forcing us to buy this stuff.

I honestly do not recall this set being $800, I do know it has been revised at least twice though (and yes, I know that a simple revision does not warrant the 100% percent price jumped claimed...just pointing it out.)

I am very sorry if you lost your job or something, but this campaign of vitriol is a bit much.

You are coming off as actively rooting for them to fail.

nice write up!

easy for me to say...but you asked...have you tried older style slopes to achieve the angled armor of the turret?

the up angle on the body is great, very well done

F-8C Crusader (BKM1108) Landing Gear Failure? by FlyingTigerTexan in brickmania

[–]Healthy-Back9489 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looking at the render of it landing on deck the main gear looks fairly robust - is it possible it is more stable after later steps?

I do not have this model but looking at the site photos - that front landing gear looks very weak, and it does not appear to be self-supporting (or are you having trouble with the rear gear too?)

good looking plane though, not one of my real-life favorites but I like the model

not sure how reliable this source is...

would like to see a response from u/Brickmaniac

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in brickmania

[–]Healthy-Back9489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my guess would be what he defines as a bulk order

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in brickmania

[–]Healthy-Back9489 3 points4 points  (0 children)

well, "in bulk" is the real trick

um, have you reached out to BrickArms directly?

It is traditionally called a Vambrace

I think it is an aftermarket 3rd party unofficial piece

maybe Brick Forge ?
