Another Fantastic Tutorial from Brick Blogger

Akunthita is quickly building quite the collection of fun and useful customization tutorials. The latest is how to repurpose the figure heads from the defunct LEGO 4 Juniors line in your custom creations.

You can see the full tutorial on The Brick Blogger.

UPDATE: Starwars4J added a link to the BrickForge forums where Armothe describes another way to reuse the LEGO 4 Juniors pieces, and how to get more mileage out of the Toy Story cowboy hats.

Custom Crazy Overview at Brick Blogger

Akunthita has been busy checking out all of the smaller custom houses of late, and recently he made a purchase at Custom Crazy. Akunthita covers all the main points, helping those on the fence answer questions before buying. You can see the full review at The Brick Blogger.

We hope to be getting items from Custom Crazy in the near future for a review. If there are any questions about these items you would like to see covered in the review, please just let me know.

Si-Dan Review at The Brick Blogger

Akunthita has a nice review of Si-Dan Toys items on The Brick Blogger. Really gives you a good sense of several Si-Dan items and where you can find them.

There's also a focus article on the samurai helmet which would go well with your Series 3 Samurai or Ninjago minifigures.

You can see the articles at The Brick Blogger. You can also pick up some of these items at FireStar Toys, along with a wide selection of custom minifig accessories from other custom houses.

Quick Hits: Lower Prices, New Minfig Galleries, and Safer Mods

A quick round up of events before calling it another day...

Toys N Bricks is reporting that the prices of LEGO key chains and magnet sets are being lowered in Canada. Key chains are dropping $0.50 to $5.49 CAN, and magnet sets are shedding $4.50 to $15.49. This appears to put these more in line with current US MSRP. You can see the full story at Toys N Bricks.

Huw has placed yet another minfig gallery up at Brickset. Several galleries have already been uploaded, the most recent being the Spider Man figs. When you get a chance, check the all out. A great alternative to BrickLink or Brickpedia when looking for minifig reference photos.

Finally Akunthita has put up a nice tutorial on how to more safely mod a Castle/Kingdoms crown at The Brick Blogger. There are several tips that are handy for any type of similar modification of LEGO or custom parts. Do take a look when you get a chance. Also, take the time to read our customization tutorial disclaimer before performing any alterations.

That's all for now. Good night to all in Minifig Nation...
