Every year we compile a list of some of the most popular gift ideas from the Brickmania catalog for $25 or less. Here is the 2014 list for your holiday gift-giving consideration:

1. World War Brick Public Day Passes. World War Brick is the biggest gathering of military / historical LEGO modelers in the world. So far we’ve announced two locations for 2015: Anaheim, CA (February 14-15) and Minneapolis, MN (June 20-21). If you’re not sure about taking the plunge with a Weekend Pass, then the Public Day Pass is a perfect way to test the waters. Note that the purchase prices goes up closer to event, so buy early and save! (If you’re considering a full Weekend Pass, you have to buy online!). Buy your Public Day or Weekend Passes HERE.

2. Brickmania has been releasing our own exclusive custom printed minifigures for the past year an a half. We have just released several new figures including WW2 101st Airborne and German Infantry with MP40 ammunition pouches.  These are all top-quality figures made using the same toy-safe, pad-printing technique used by LEGO on their own figures (they will not scratch or wear off during normal use). All of them are priced at $25 or less individually. If you really want to go all out we have the WWII Figures pack shown above available for a limited time.

3. Everybody agrees that BrickArms makes the best custom weapons and accessories for the LEGO system. On the top of the awesome scale are the BrickArms Reloaded series, for which have two or more colors of ABS plastic are fused together during the molding process. All of the BrickArms Reloaded weapons are injection-molded at the BrickArms workshop by Will or Ian Chapman, the original creators of BrickArms.

4. If you are looking for something extra special, we have a few of the Signature Series M2HB machine guns, which includes a special crate autographed by Will Chapman himself.

5. Brickmania has artillery minikits ranging in prices from $7 to $25. These are a great way to add firepower for your armies without blowing the budget for ammunition or additional troops. Want some more serious firepower? Upgrade to the fabled “88!”
