Hey Will, is there any chance of the Needler ever being available outside of BrickConventions?

Sorry if this question has been asked (and answered) before...

Right! No more bidding for me! While the Chief is a fine minifig with top-notch accessories, I can't spend any more money on him because I need some cash for college. While I think the Chief would look awesome menacing me on my computer desk with his needler, I think a computer might look better on said desk. Good luck any prospective buyers and enjoy! ^_^

Dub it like tovarisch would!

While I'd love to vist Australia some time, it is just too darn expensive these days for me to travel outside the US. Besides, the wife and kids would want to come along and that would totally blow the budget! ;)

Darn it! But Will, do you know if other sellers are coming there? Please answer my question.

P.S: Will, I think you need to change the "Featured Fan Photo" know. Anonymous Fanatic has been there for ages.

There was one of Will's resellers there in January, so I would think Darrel (his Aussie Reseller) would go to Brickvention again.

Maybe just you and the wife could go :)

Anyway, I was wowed to see how high the Chief sold for. Very cool. I don't remember how high the medic went for, but it must have been phenomenal.

When i read that the needler was not for mass-market i think i died a little on the inside. just kidding (mostly) although i so wish i get my hands on one. Or three. Have you considered, Will, That even though it may cost allot to make, from the talk around here sounds like you could charge anything you want for a needler and people will pay it? Even I would pay $10-$15 upwards for one. Or three. And yeah, they might moan, and complain, but there STILL going to pay for one. Or three. Just a thought.

The popularity of the Needler was not lost on Will.

However, there are still no plans to mass produce it for general sale at this time.

That Needler fits perfectly with what Will makes... because it's a work of art!

It already is available:
The BrickArms MP7


Will it be released sans the suppressor and sight? No, most likely not. The MP7 was designed specifically to allow the removal of those two features to be as simple for the customer as possible.

Not at all surprising. As I recall the BrickArms Limited Edition Medic minifig went for over 100 dollars. Limited Edition items, as well as custom items, are very popular in the toy world, and tend to fetch very high prices.

I think someone already asked that. . . here it is. I've done it to a couple of my MP7s, and it's not particularly difficult (just make sure to cut high on the LAM - you can always sand!).
EDIT: Whoops, looks like Damien beat me to it.

Not to sound like a fool, but someone else is offering their (Or is it actually Bricmarms? 0_o) "The Chief" on eBay again.

How much does it cost to produce WaterSlide Decals? Because I want to look at making some of my own...
