Omicron Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Christmas is long over, but it seems that it hasn't over at BrickForge, considering that the two new colors - Lime Green and Dark Red, are very Christmas indeed. That is my way of saying that BrickForge has come out with, not one, but two BRAND SPANKING NEW (and I mean new like NEW, like the new car smell new) colors. Currently the the only items to be in both these colors are Mushrooms, Scooters, and the Beret, but gosh darnit that will change (and I will personally make sure of it by kicking Armothe). "The color match on the Lime Green is flawless. Dark Red is very good too!" - Armothe EDIT: And holy crap there is more!!!! Some call it Pearl Dark Gray and others call it GunMetal - we call it Steel! Falcata Knight Shield Round Pauldrons Vambraces Wizard Staff Military Helmet Military Rifle Plans to expand our selection in this color are underway. Enjoy! -Omi Edited February 17, 2011 by Omicron Quote
Baylego Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Awesome! I have always wanted BF to make lime green Quote
prateek Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Kewl. Kudos to them for making these very difficult to make colours available Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Great! I love those two colors, it would certainly be interesting to see what BF parts will look good in lime green and dark red. Thanks for the news Omi! Quote
TheDesuComplex Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Very Good! Excellent Color accuracy and the fact that these are my two favorite Lego clors may actually make me place some BrickForge orders now. Quote
AmperZand Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Very Good! Excellent Color accuracy and the fact that these are my two favorite Lego clors may actually make me place some BrickForge orders now. If you're at all hesitant about BrickForge's design, production or service, don't be. Their parts are LEGO quality and, frankly, are often truer to LEGO design principles than TLG's. As for their customer service, it's second to none. Amps Quote
SilentMode Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I've gotta get me a lime green scooter. Quote
Jargo Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I'm mesmerised by the lime scooter. I like the dark red one too but the lime one leaps at me like the orange one did. I'm loving the lime mushrooms too. They look really toxic. Wish I had some spare cash right now to snap some up. Unfortunately getting a puppy has eaten my savings. Quote
Flare Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I oh love these colors! This might finally force me to make another order Quote
Henchmen4Hire Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 That is some sexy red right there, Hoss. Quote
pompommini Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Very nice colours! I love the mushrooms but Brockforge is quite expensive and I have some Ninjago sets to be buying Pompommini out Quote
George G. Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 I've wanted to place an order on brickforge for a while now but I didn't kow if they have expensive shipping costs to the U.K. and whether the exchange rate on it is the same. Does anyone know? Quote

Does anyone know? I was on the verge of getting the lime scooter and some mushrooms, but they wanted around $15 for shipping. Quote

ED-209 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Slick, I'm particularly fond of the dark red! Quote

LuxorV Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 This is a cool new color BF added to their palette Thanks for sharing the news, Omicron! Quote

Falcata Knight Shield Round Pauldrons Vambraces Wizard Staff Military Helmet Military Rifle Plans to expand our selection in this color are underway. -Omi Which Pearl Dark Gray parts will it match? The new, darker ones in Kingdoms, Hero Factory, and other sets post-summer 2010 (316 Titanium Metallic)? Or the previous standard (148 Dark Grey Metallic)? I'm kind of impressed with the expanding Brickforge color palette, although this color specifically doesn't appeal too much to me since I don't have much interest in custom LEGO weapons and armor. The Brickforge parts that interest me the most are the more "everyday" parts like the scooter and guitar, the animals like the sheep, and the fantasy-creature parts like the Centaur body. Quote
Omicron Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 Which Pearl Dark Gray parts will it match? . You're looking at it in the photo. ;) Matches the Gunmetal/Pearl Dark Gray from Kingdoms, and also the gunmetal from the past that was used in Bionicle. -Omi Quote
