I have other exciting news, Brick brigade will be attending Brick Cascade in Portland, Oregon, and BrickWorld in Chicago, as well as Brickfair in DC, and BickCon in Seattle. Thank you for all your support. This isn't possible without you.
You can get them with and without a crew. I was really inspired by all the designs I saw on the web, to push ythe Humvee design until it was just right. It had to have an opening hood, doors, and trunk, and rotating turret. Success!
01 - 31 - 12 - New Iron Cross Soldiers are in! I don't
mean to toot my own horn (I know it's a very old saying)
but, the new printing on the Iron Cross soldiers is beautiful.
Dan,..(the master printer) ...Great Job!
01 - 24 - 12 - Alabama was great, thanks Birmingham! I returned to H.Q. with new ideas and new friends. Brick Brigade is an Official Brick Forge Reseller! Look for Brick Forge Minifig exclusives (using Brick Forge only items on one of my minifigs), Battle Packs, Scooters, Gear and much much more. Look for Brick Forge on the website and at my booth. This year I plan to visit as many Lego Fan conventions as I can, so when you visit a show, look for Brick Forge Banners! I will also show new Custom built Models and Minifigures, and Brick Warrior weapons and gear. New minifigs in stock, US Marauder, and many more back in stock. Looks like it is going to be a great year!

Well as soon as Brickfair Alabama is over. See Brick Brigade at brickfair in Alabama the weekend of January13th, 14th, and 15th. New sets are in CAD buikd phase and should be ready for sale soon. Other new custom lego military minifigures and sets are in design stage: A custom lego military modern vehicle model, the Stryker personnel carrier, another custom lego military model WW2 vehicle model the "Duck" WW2 aquatic vehicle, a custom lego military WW2 model plane P38, and a new WW2 P51 Mustang custom lego military model plane to honor the red tails, custom lego military artillery pieces from WW2 and Modern era, and many more.

12 - 10 - 11 - Christmas is here. Hurray for Santa! We have lots of awesome custom Lego military minifigures, models, and accessory sets still in stock. I'm determined to keep producing custom Lego military models in old dark gray as long as I can (or until parts run out). Yes, I will keep using the naboo fighter pilot uniform torso assembly for many of the custom Lego military minifigure US army soldiers as long as I can keep finding reasonably priced supplies. There are more than 300 US and German custom Lego military minifigure soldiers soldiers are being prepped and readied for battle. Lots of custom Lego military minifig troops are still in stock ready for deployment to your battlefield, and just a click away!
Check out the new custom Lego military US Mountain Combat Soldiers (see above) with new dark tan Brick Forge combat gear including camo tactical vest. Also includes awesome custom lego modern military soldier weapons from Brickarms, and a new female custom Lego mountain combat soldiersoldier. Why is a female soldier a big deal, well I think it is a big deal for all the soldiers in the world to put themselves in harms way for the sake of their country. Way to go! My plan is to start donating sets to wounded soldiers with children, and send a minifig or 2 to wounded soldiers in the field,. I've been instructed to contact my local VA hospital. If any one knows of a program in Northern California I can contact, e-mail to sales@brickbrigad.com .
Thanks again to all my great customers! Live Lego live long! (No, I'm not saying that playing with Lego extends your life, but if playing or building with Lego makes you happy, I'm sure happy people live longer, right?).

Wow, sorry for the delay in communication. I have been scrambling to restock since attending Brickfair in August. I got wiped out, as I mentioned before, of almost all my stock. I finished restocking most of my inventory right before leaving for BrickCon in Seattle. Both cons were fantastic! In fact, here's a message for all my awesome customers online and at conventions I attend, Thanks You, and You Rock! Anyway, I am busy updating my website with new troops. Unfortunately I ran out of SWAT, Police and Modern Minifigs at BrickCon, but will do my best to replenish before Christmas. Look for marines, US Regular army, Germans, Russians, WW1 Germans, and many more. Ok, so, a lot is going on, new sets in production like the M1 Abrams, New Tan Bradley and Tan Humvee or MRAP, not sure yet. I am planning on restocking just about all my most popular sets before Christmas, including the Warhawk, C47, Sherman, Stuart, and Tiger. I will also have WW1 and WW2 instruction packs for sale. Which will include parts lists with the instructions. A few models will be available as individual instructions. Check the Lists to the right for set updates. Talk to you soon!

Every squad needs a Machine Gunner to provide suppressing fire.
Brick Brigade has 2 new assistants to help with the preperation of minifigs for printing and pulling sets.
My inventory control specialists sole responsibility will be to pull sets and make sure part counts are as precise as humanly possible! Good news right?

Brickfair in Washington DC was awesome! Thank you to all my great customers. This is not possible without you, and all my allies: Brickmania, Brick Forge, BrickArms, Woody's Customs, and Bricks and Boards LLC (and many more). I'll be returning home on the 13th and fixing all the sets that need fixing.
It's time to restock and New Sets are Coming! Japanese Zero, M1 Abrams, and anything else I can think up!
