Brickmaniacs,

Here’s another look at some of the epic minifigures that we acquired from the huge haul of LEGO. We still have some of these awesome minifigures in stock in our retail locations, but they won’t last long! There has already been a rush on the most popular minifigs so the stocks will only dwindle as time goes on! It’s been a long time since non-Brickmania minifigures were available in our stores, so this is definitely not a situation that will be repeated again soon!

Brickmaniacs,

As many of you are well aware we have begun to carry BrickTracks in our retail locations and online, and we are already preparing ourselves for upcoming train builds. It has been a long time since Brickmania created a train building kit, but going back to this theme has already inspired a lot of excitement both within our walls and beyond.

Brickmaniacs,

Many of our fans already know about the huge haul of pieces that we have been sorting in the warehouse for the USS Makin Island. In that massive drop of pieces, there were also an army of minifigures that have now been deployed to all three of our retail locations! Many of the rarest have already flown off the shelf, but there are many still available so stop in or give us a call to see if there’s a minifig you’ve always wanted still available!

Brickmaniacs,

Even when we were sorting pieces at home and while creating unique parts in our lab, quality is of the utmost importance to everyone who works at Brickmania. We are constantly taking piles of pieces and making works of art, using our passion for historical accuracy and next-level design. Before a kit can go from the designer’s studio to your shelf, it first must pass through the quality control team. Below you’ll see a pile of boxes that will be filled with amazing kits after passing the gambit of QC.

On the other side of the cubicle walls is our test builder, who ensures that both the parts and the instructions are Brickmania-quality for every kit. We strive to ensure that each and every customer who opens a Brickmania building kit has the same fantastic experience. Every box has everything you need in it to build a model that you can be proud of, and the people who make sure of it are in this part of our warehouse.

So what part of the quality control process do you think would be the most difficult? How many kits do you think a single quality control expert handles in a single day? How many kits do you think fit into the boxes pictured above? What part of the quality control process would you like to see more of?
