Important points to note collecting Brickmania, 'Lego' brick building kits. Pro's... - All original brick building designs. - They use real unused Lego parts, elements, etc. - Custom, exclusive elements. - EXCELLENT printed elements. - Excellent original exclusive minifigures. - They use quality BrickArms accessories to add to their kits. - Besides models and kits, they sell excellent accessories, weapons and sticker packs to enhance and detail your military vehicles. - Excellent display models. - They also sell instructions (if you wish not to purchase a full kit). - They also offer COBI military kits, which are a lower price point than their custom kits. This is a nice lower priced alternative and hats off to them to offer this within the same site. - Customer service very good. - When ordering accessories, weapons, etc., they will at times include a weapon or two free with your order. Con's... - Depending on model and kit, some areas of build aren't sturdy. Too many single point connections at times (I base this on 4 WWII kits I've built, but I believe newer and newer kits coming out seem to be shoring up their builds). - For most part, need to be a semi-experienced Lego builder to overcome some areas with single point connection (ie: knowing where to add to areas to make sturdy from your own parts collection). - Some 3D printed elements don't clutch tightly to Lego elements. - Price point on almost all Brickmania custom kits can be high. Look for sales, offers and holiday coupons in site. - Models NOT FOR PLAY. They aren't really made for kids to play like Lego sets. More for display and light play set ups, dioramas, etc. - If buying for young builder, parents must help with the build process (but this is a good bonding moment). - Instruction booklets good, but not as good and clear as Lego instructions.

This company has never let me down. Though expensive, they provide great selection of Brickarms and other accessories. Quality products. Order was shipped fast with lots of freebies! Thanks.

A well known and very good custom military Lego vendor. The prices of their vehicle kits are of course infamously ridiculous so I choose to focus mainly on their minifigures which are fairly priced given their intricate detail, especially the awesome 3D printing. They often run 15% discount promos so keep an eye out for those. I had a really bad customer service experience with them the very first time I ordered related to email communication before the order shipped. They refused to honor one of their own aforementioned sale promos but eventually relented after much bureaucratic back and forth. I think part of this problem is they are a larger retailer with a dedicated team of largely disinterested customer support agents so they no longer have that "personal" customer care touch that you get from their smaller one man competitors. You don't get to usually talk to the actual guys making the design decisions, unlike with their competitors. They are very "corporate-lite" - as if you were talking to the phone company. For that reason, I can't give them 5 stars. Other than that, I haven't had any subsequent problems. Every order arrives well packed and never missing any parts.
