 | | WW2 Minifig Accessories —Jeff Byrd
|
| | | Just uploaded some new pics over at Brickshelf, check 'em out. (URL) These are examples of my WW2 accessories line, which will be available later this year. The prototypes are not painted, but you'll get the idea. Helmets will be included. Thanks, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | (...) I think these are very cool, but purists should be aware that they feature MegaBloks elements (specifically, those cool 2x4 rough-hewn bricks)! Dave! (22 years ago, 26-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | (...) Yeah, I used what I had laying around for the scenery. The Megabloks elements actually look a little "war torn" to me. All of these accessories will be ABS in the finished product. Colors have yet to be decided. Jeff (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | Well, with the overwhelming response of 1 person, I don't think I'm going to bother making these. Why should I spend thousands of dollars on injection-molds if there is no market? I guess all of the Nazi-purists don't want any (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | | (...) Ack! Don't take a lack of response to mean that there aren't people interested ... unfortunately, some worthy posts simply don't get the feedback they deserve, and it always seems hit or miss as to what items get picked up. I know I've been (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | | Don't get upset Jeff. You really didn't ask if people would be willing to buy these weapons, nor did you ask for any kind of feed back. If you want to conduct some real market research, then maybe you should give price ranges and availability, then (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | | (...) Hm, there may have been one response, but over 2000 people looked at your gallery. I would be interested in buying new items for my minifigs myself, especially the backpack and helmet. Joe Meno (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | | (...) Heh. And as that 1 person, I have to admit my post wasn't especially dynamic. I confess that I thought the accessories were scratch-built by hand, and I hadn't even thought about a multi-thousand dollar injection mold process. What sort of (...)

| | | | | | | | I love it. Only when I post a negative message, do I suddenly get some interest. That's just too funny. Anyway, now that my little response expirement is done, on to the good stuff. If you would like to see examples of my finished ABS pieces, with (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Many of us already gushed at length about these designs when you first posted them, especially with a whole forum devoted to them (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

Never fear, I'm working closely with the CAD/mold designer on these. I think everyone will be very pleased when (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | | | | This is the best news Jeff. Your SW arms are proudly carried by most of my space characters. Upcoming projects might make your WWII line not only desired, but positively necessary!

The WW2 stuff is great and I hope it does really well for you, but I have my hands full with pirates and castles (and I simply didn't respond because I never saw the message until now). (...)
