When it rains, it pours! BrickArms was picked up on Gizmodo today, where I was interviewed by a senior editor there. Take a look! http://gizmodo.com/365757/lego-arms-dealer-sells-everything-from-ak47-to-uzi

Wow, that interview is the best! It's really cool to know more about you and your interest (or should I say obsession ;) ) in LEGO.
Hey, looking for a cool place to make lots of friends and have loads of fun?
Why not try Jango Jordan's forum, Brick Cave?

Cool, the article received 51,000 views, and 1047 Diggs so far. No wonder my main site was slow today! I'm sure glad I moved the forums to the other server before that story broke. ;)

Wow! First Badger, now Will. That was a great interview. It just goes to show that you have grow up, but you don't have to grow old.

I have a question. In the interview, you mentioned various items including PDWs. Are you reffering to the FlashBang grenades?

Very good review, Will! I noticed that in most forums besides this, the posting is very... sloppy, nothing compared to the posting here. For this reason, I am glad and proud to be a part of such a well maintaned forum. Thank you Will! (and mods, of course) kaboom4 wrote:I have a question.

You're good Kid, real good, but as long as I'm around you'll always be second best, shee?

Very interesting interview! Allways good to read some behind the scenes info about BrickArms and its creators. I found it particularly interesting to hear you have been in contact with Lego and shared your designs with them, very cool!

Yes, the MP7 is what I was referring to as a PDW, as well as the BA-M6, Auto-9, and PKD2019.
