Congrats Will! BrickArms is growing! (alot!)

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

That's fantastic! I can't believe that such a major paper has recognized BrickArms!

It's a viral thing. Once word gets out, everyone wants to know more, and suddenly I'm the new thing. I sent them 8 photos, and they choose the one with the US Sergeant in it. I'm glad I had Dan's Sherman from BrickMania in the background, to set off the soldier so nicely.

I just hope Andy (my UK Distributor) is ready for the onslaught!

Well, you know what they say: When it rains, it poors! Good job again. (I just hope these reviews keep coming, so everybody can see the light of Brickarms)

If I still had Money I'd bet Brickarms would be the next big thing in Lego Vignettes! (besides on the forums)

They already are! Loads of Vignettes, (That have not been featured here), have them equiped. SSLF has plenty of Vigs with them, and I use them loads ;-)

Let's just say that even my engineering friends now have heard of BrickArms! (Hint hint)

Indeed, congratulations Will! BrickArms is well and truly mainstream!

Well, I wouldn't exactly call it "expanding". Web articles are like ads on the side of a bus, that change every day; If you happen to see the bus, you see the ad, otherwise, the next day it is gone. I'm just hoping it drives some orders. I could really use them! :)
