2010 is shaping up to be a huge year for Brickmania to participate in public events. Here are the confirmed events (so far) that Brickmania will be appearing this year:

March 13-14: Brickworld Indy, Indianapolis, IN
Brickmania are one of the select vendors granted permission to appear at the first Indianapolis regional Lego exhibition. My new 2010 WW2 Battlepack models will debut at Brickworld Indy and will be available for purchase. I only have one table at this event, so I will mainly have Brickmania kits, but I also plan to bring a couple trays of BrickArms and other accessories.

Premium model too expensive? We have also prepared a "base mode" that also includes pieces for both TOW anti-tank missile launcher with a mounted BrickArms LMG and an armored turret with a Browning M2 heavy machine gun (seen above). This base model includes two traditional color minfigs equipped with BrickArms M4 carbines plus BrickForge Military Helmets. Price for the base model is $55 (plus postage) and kits will begin shipping the 3rd week of February. Click image to order now.

A new "3 in 1" kit based on the iconic White Motorcar M3Halftrack,which served splendidly with Allied forces on all fronts during World War II.This model includes enough old dark gray bricks and instructions to build any one of three different behicles based on the M3 Chasis: M3A1 troop carrier, M16 Multiple Motorized Gun Carriage and T19 105mm Howitzer Motorized Carriage. The kit also includes two American infantry minifigs equipped with the notoriously hard-to-find M1 "pot helmet" and BrickArms weapons.

Here is the final version of the 2009 GMLTC (Greater Midwest Lego Train Club) holiday ornament I helped design. We're selling these as a fund-raiser to help cover our travel expenses for the La Crosse and Three Rivers and NMRA model railroad shows in 2010. These will be shipping the first week of December and are available through Brickmania or from GMLTC.ORG

Keeping up with my frantic release schedule, I am offering three new World War Two kits: an improved Willy's Jeep and two versions of my Kubelwagen. Parts are on their way and these should be shipping by the end of October.

An updated edition of the Willy's Keep kit, includes driver minifig and BrickArms' M1 Garand Rifle. This vehicle comes equipped with a Browning M2 Heavy Machine gune, seats 3 and is modeled in old dark gray bricks (discontinued since 2004). Click the image for ordering information.

A full production edition of my Kubelwagen kit, includes driver minifig and BrickArms' MP40. Click image for ordering information.

An alternative version of my Kubelwagen. Of course the relative rarity of tan parts makes this version more expensive and limited in nature. Click image for ordering information.
