Top notch Military 'Lego' custom kits but not without flaws.
Important points to note collecting Brickmania, 'Lego' brick building kits.
Pro's...
- All original brick building designs.
- They use real unused Lego parts, elements, etc.
- Custom, exclusive elements.
- EXCELLENT printed elements.
- Excellent original exclusive minifigures.
- They use quality BrickArms accessories to add to their kits.
- Besides models and kits, they sell excellent accessories, weapons and sticker packs to enhance and detail your military vehicles.
- Excellent display models.
- They also sell instructions (if you wish not to purchase a full kit).
- They also offer COBI military kits, which are a lower price point than their custom kits. This is a nice lower priced alternative and hats off to them to offer this within the same site.
- Customer service very good.
- When ordering accessories, weapons, etc., they will at times include a weapon or two free with your order.
Con's...
- Depending on model and kit, some areas of build aren't sturdy. Too many single point connections at times (I base this on 4 WWII kits I've built, but I believe newer and newer kits coming out seem to be shoring up their builds).
- For most part, need to be a semi-experienced Lego builder to overcome some areas with single point connection (ie: knowing where to add to areas to make sturdy from your own parts collection).
- Some 3D printed elements don't clutch tightly to Lego elements.
- Price point on almost all Brickmania custom kits can be high. Look for sales, offers and holiday coupons in site.
- Models NOT FOR PLAY. They aren't really made for kids to play like Lego sets. More for display and light play set ups, dioramas, etc.
- If buying for young builder, parents must help with the build process (but this is a good bonding moment).
- Instruction booklets good, but not as good and clear as Lego instructions.
