Hi James, one question: Where the heck did you get the new prototypes, and can we (the rest of the community) get some?
Ah, yes. I did answer all those questions in the intro I edited out. Whoops!
Enigma That is Badger, the official spokesman for BrickArms sent me the prototypes so I could record this review. As far as I know, the only the “public” can get a hold of prototypes is through the LEGO conventions.
James, great review. I only have one tip, don’t hold the prototypes quite so close to the camera, they tend to get blurry, the ones on the table were clearer, if you just held it a little farther from the camera, we could see the details more clearly. Nevertheless, very informative.
Thanks for the tip Mariann. I’ll keep that in mind next time I do anything like this.
is that th gun from halo up twords th top.
is that the plasma rifle(purple thing) from halo up twords th top.
Yup! You can view a better image of it here:

The Master Chief armor is done by BrickForge (http://www.brickforge.com/). Sadly the BrickArms gun is not available to the public at this time.
Hi James, the camera was a little close to the Prototypes, but good job. I am a member of the Brickarms Fourms and I read this in a post:
The U-clip is called that because it can stick to any standard lego shaft, the minifigs arm is smaller in diameter.
Mandalorian, I think my point with the U-Clip was that in its current prototype stage it feels a little flimsy. I understand that its not meant to go on larger items, but at the same time I don’t think they should bend (and in one case brake) as easily as they have for me. I have a number of U-Clips that have been bent (with out me trying to bend them) and now they are very lose fitting.
Still, I really do like what the U-Clip has allowed me to do with the guns and I would recommend it to all minifig builders.
Thanks for coming over and posting!
I do reviews in text and video and wondered if I could get my hands on some please James, I do take care in these things and do not compete in reviews and just enjoy doing them. If you could tell me, that would be great. Thanks.

Do you have the newer thicker version of the u-clip as well as the thinner one?
