Final Three Days for Brickmania Track Links Campaign! New Add-Ons!
We’re down to the final 72 hours on the Brickmania Track Links Kickstarter campaign and are hoping to exceed our goal. To this end we previously announced a series of stretch goals and promised a couple of more add-on kits today. Below are the final two Add-On kits to be offered as part of the Kickstarter campaign. These will eventually be for sale to the general public, but not at these exclusive prices.
Note that the kits will be supplied with Brickmania Track Links, not the LEGO chains shown in the pictures.
It has been a popular request that we bring back the US Marine Corps M4A2 Sherman kit and we’ve been listening! This new version is was designed from scratch to be compatible with the new Brickmania Track links and is closer to true to 1/35 scale than the original kit. Included a sheet of Archer Dry Transfers decals for 3rd Marine Battalion, A company Sherman and has appropriate drum-type wading stacks installed. Also included is one custom-printed US Marine figure. The interior of this model is not detailed, but can be easily accessed should you decide to add this later. This kit will be shipped with double-wide Brickmania Track Links. This is kit will be available at a later date to the general public with a higher price.
A long-overdue update to one of Brickmania’s most popular models of all time! Updates included redesigned turret and other minor updates. The Kickstarter version includes a custom pad-printed US Tanker minifig and will be shipped with single-wide Brickmania Track Links™. This model will eventually be made available to the general public at a higher price.
Tiger I Ausf E Premium Edition Kits Back in Stock
The Tiger I tank was a legend without equal during World War II and our Brickmania kits gives it the attention to detail that it deserves! Kits from the 10th batch are now rolling off the Brickmania assembly lines and are available for immediate shipping. This has been one of the most difficult kits for us to keep in stock and they will, without doubt, continue to sell as quick as we can make them.
