OH! OK I was just slinging around ideas. I didn't think it was that hard really.

The SMG (with a suppressed attached to it) was previously available on the BrickArms website, but had to be removed due to issues beyond Will's control. That's all we can say about it for now. We're not trying to be mysterious; we simply cannot comment on this issue due to its nature. I'd ask BA Forums members to respect this and keep watching the BrickArms website for updates. badger

When that seller saw the BrickArms Needle Gun (I stress this is the BrickArms Needle Gun, not a "needler"), they had to have one for their site. Yes, that's currently the only place you can order a BA Needle Gun, but as I've said, Will does plan to start offering for sale on the BrickArms website at some point in the future (although as a solid colored item, not the multicolored version). badger

Badger is 100% correct (as always), but I wanted to point out that the BrickArms Needle Gun sold at ToyWiz is the only one that they have. Just one in stock. They are just trying it on for size right now. Badger and I tried out the new Needle Gun design at BrickCon (simple overmolding) and they sold out very quickly! Each one was handmade, and one of a kind. Most had multi-colored bodies, and the needles were of different colors and translucencies.

Will the single color mold use the same molding process as the multi-colored mold? I only ask this because you said some time back that the multi-colored mold required molding three different parts, then fusing them, whereas this wouldn't be all that necessary for the single-color mold. -Chuck

Yes, a solid-colored Needle Gun would just be a single, straight injection into a single cavity. badger

I really like this, knowing that your gun is one of a kind. Also with all different color choices, it really does make buying one intresting. I love that they are in different colors, Great job Will!

Would the Chief ever be available in any other colors? Like, say a Cobalt Blue (or white for those occasions when the spirit is out of its body)? I just had to ask! =P

What, no love for lightish red? ;) Seriously speaking, the BA Chief minifig was made from TLG parts, so Will went with the color that best matched this fig's inspiration: dark green. You can always build your own with any of the many colors of that armor that TLG has produced. badger

So it has finally become a reality! Excellent...I can imagine this selling out rather quickly, and for good reason!

Nice work on the Single Color Needle Gun! I love it! I know a lot of Sci-Fi enthusiasts (And not just HALO Fans) will love this weapon! Although, might I ask, was it hard to mold all those different needles at the top?

I'll admit, I wasn't very keen on a solid color needle gun at first; I thought that the details wouldn't stand out as well as the overmolded convention exclusive. I am very happy to say I was proved wrong, and the needle gun is a really excellent piece of work in any color. Great work, Will!

Just to be clear: the BrickArms Needle Gun WILL see mass production as a solid-colored item and more limited availability (mostly likely conventions and/or pack exclusives). When it's made available for purchase is still in flux, but when we have news to report, we will!
