It's the new mold with the point. You can see it in the photo. -Omi

Alright so that explains BrickArms and BrickWarriors. So why the disdain towards BrickForge and Arealight? BrickForge makes lampposts, microphones, cleavers, golf clubs, saws, shovels, sickles, crowbars, reins, canteens, backpacks, Shepard crooks, electric guitars, acoustic guitars, violins, drumsticks, cows, pigs, sheep, bottles of all variety. Or are those too destructive for you? No. And I do. Lego encourages creativity, ad that's exactly what customizing is. To go against it means your going against creative minds. -Omi

Advantages of Vertical Moulding Machine
Omicron replied to maulik's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I think the title and subtitle is very self explanatory. He is asking on anyone's personal experiance with an injection machine for custom molding. You know, to create custom accessories like BrickForge and BrickArms. -Omi -
Wow. Why so much hate? -Omi

Is Cuusoo too easily taken over by Rabid Fandoms?
Omicron replied to David Thomsen's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I dunno. Minecraft seems to be sold elsewhere. https://www.jinx.com/LEGOMinecraft -Omi -
Aaron, make Faramir. Now. :P -Omi

You're worried that people will confuse competing brands with Lego and buy them thinking it is Lego? This has already been going on for 2 decades bro. -Omi -
Yeah I was gonna have a torso printed, but then I saw these made by MMCB and decided to try them out. I thought it was perfect because it goes over the hips like her actual outfit does. Still gonna get a torso printed though, with some sculpey hair. I think the hair makes her head look way to big. :P -Omi

Then armor couldn't be placed. -Omi

Lightning is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, as well as the narrator and a temporary playable character in Final Fantasy XIII-2. Reference *Her outfit is designed by MMCB. Enjoy. -Omi

Tingle is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. He is a thirty-five year old man who is obsessed with "forest fairies". Above all, Tingle's dream is to become a forest fairy himself, and dresses up in green costumes resembling the Hero's Clothes worn by the main character, Link, as he believes that these green clothes are the same as those worn by the "forest fairies" he seeks to emulate. Tingle specializes in maps and is a skilled cartographer, a skill which proves helpful to Link during his adventures. The backpack he wears contains a special balloon that allows him to float through the air. He also loves rupees. Reference Enjoy. -Omi

I value Lego. And I also value customization. If I have to pay a 100 bucks for a certain piece that I may have to cut/paint/mod, I will do so. If anything, Lego encourages customization just as much as building. It is the creative aspect of it. -Omi

I've destroyed rare and expensive Lego parts just for the sake of making a good custom. And I'm American. -Omi

I can understand where you are coming from with this. I am a proud customizor, and I use anything and everything at my disposal to make my minifigs (even opposing brands like MegaBlocks). Custom houses like BrickForge, BrickArms, Arealight, etc, make their items because they want to expand and add more to the community. Not essentially replacing current items, but just adding more variety. Most of the items they make are items Lego has not made, but there are times that Lego makes their own version later on (Like most accessories in the CMF series). They are here to give options. -Omi
-
They may not have disappeared, but it has been awhile since they been used since they aren't used as much. Considering the advent of new skeleton and skull designs over the years, it is easy to make a mistake as such. -Omi

Amazing -Omi

I'm not kicking myself. I really wanted that Legolas hair for my Zelda. :P -Omi

You're not getting the correlation here. You're saying they didn't name Kimono Girl as Geisha because of the geisha's "associotion" with the prostitution, which occured in the past. I'm saying that is bull, because they made sets based on eras in which prostitution, slavery, drug/alcohol trafficking, and even killing occured. Vikings are widely known for their "raping and pillaging", even though that barbaric notion is a misconception (just like geisha being prostitutes is a misconception), but it's still there and they made those sets. -Omi

I'm talking sex, drugs, alcohol, and killing. -Omi
-
I'm not saying she is, but she may have been inspired by one. And if you wanna talk about the past, then what about the other themes Lego has made which is known for its bad reputation? Like Vikings? The Western theme with the cowboys and indians? Pirates? Pretty sure they are known for all the bad things. -Omi
-
No actual proof of that, and it isn't part of their society. And besides, everyone has sex. -Omi
-
Well you won't be able to know, since geisha cannot talk about their society. Hence foreigners bring out the misconceptions. And I find it interesting how you are insisting that geisha are prostitutes. You are pretty much crapping all over Japanese culture. -Omi

"There are many misconceptions over what a geisha truly is because of the tumultuous past of artisans, prostitutes, and pleasure quarters in Japan. βThe world of the geisha, the "flower and willow" world, are very separate societies that are shrouded in mystery. The myths that have been created by outsiders about the environment and the lifestyle of the geisha world have, for the most part, been able to grow unchecked. And because it is a very private, elite world, most people would be uncomfortable speaking about itβ. Prostitution was legal in Japan until 1958, which is another reason that people may be misinformed about geishas not offering sex to customers.[18] The two became especially confused after many of the professional prostitutes who catered to the occupying soldiers after World War II styled themselves as "geisha"; at a time when few true geisha were able to work, the counterfeit geisha usurped the meaning of the word in the eyes of many foreigners." You've been usurped. -Omi

But it's not. It has nothing to do with opinion either. -Omi
