The M16 MGMC (Multiple Gun Motor Carriage) was a half-track with a mounted M45 Anti-aircraft gun used by the US, Russian, and British Commonwealth forces in WWII. Equipped with four 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) M2 Browning machine guns, it was aptly nicknamed the “Kraut-Mower” and “Meat Chopper”. It was an extremely effective anti-aircraft gun, and was very popular with soldiers.  Read More

LRDG vs Panzer DAK – the Ultimate North African Bundle is Now Available

The legendary LRDG faced off against axis forces in North Africa throughout WWII, and now you can stage their epic raiding tactics with this limited run bundle from Brickmania.

This epic bundle includes the LRDG GMC 30 CWT Truck, the Panzer II DAK and the M1 Tactical Palm Tree.

The LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) was a group of British Commonwealth soldiers, created in the summer of 1940, during the war in North Africa. Its primary role was to provide long range surveillance of troop movements in Axis territory. Its secondary role was to make lightning strikes on targets deep behind enemy lines, causing a great deal of confusion, terror and panic in the rear areas. The LRDG was organized into a series of patrols comprised of  volunteers from New Zealand, England and Southern Rhodesia (a British colony, now called Zimbabwe).  They would often work in isolated patrol areas for weeks at a time. The LRDG was credited as being one of the most successful unconventional units of World War II and routinely cited for providing the best source of up to date intelligence on enemy troop movements.

The long distances of the patrols required special vehicles, for which civilian trucks were acquired and customized to the LRDG needs. Each patrol contained several heavily modified GMC 30 CWT (Imperial Hundredweight) trucks, each carried a three man crew and a variety of heavy weapons and supplies. Special equipment included sand channels attached to the side of each truck, which were used in the event the truck became stuck in deep sand. The trucks were also outfitted with extra large radiators connected by a hose to a specially designed condenser cannister. This allow the LRDG trucks to operate over long distances in the extremely hot desert environment.

The LRDG faced off against the DAK (Deutsches Afrikakorps), the German expeditionary force in Africa during the North African Campaign. First sent as a holding force to shore up the Italian defense of their African colonies, the formation fought on in Africa, under various appellations, from March 1941 until its surrender in May 1943. The term “Afrika Korps” is pseudo-German (so-called “cod-German”), deriving from an incomplete German title. The German term referred solely to the initial formation, the DAK, which formed part of the Axis command of the German and Italian forces in North Africa. The name stuck, with both news media and Allied soldiers, as the name for all subsequent German units in North Africa. The unit is known for having been commanded by Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

The Brickmania Panzer II Ausf C was modeled after the tanks of the DAK, using the desert color scheme.  The Panzer II was German light tank of World War II. It was a stop-gap design, rushed into production just prior to the outbreak of fighting,  while the more advanced Panzer III and Panzer IVs were still under development. Armed with a 20mm cannon and MG34 machine gun, the Panzer proved to be a competent design and played a significant role early in the war. It participated in such as the campaigns in Poland, France, Soviet Union, and North Africa. While it was a successful design, the Panzer II’s light armor and weapons would be no match for heavier Allied equipment introduced later in the war. The Panzer II chassis was also used for several self-propelled guns, including the effective Mardar II tank destroyer and the Wespe 105mm howitzer.

We’ve also included the M1 Tactical Palm Tree mini kit, so that you can start building a LEGO oasis of your own.

This deal is so good it’s sure to fly off the shelves, so don’t delay and get yourself one of these bundles.  The Desert Raider Bundle is perfect for Easter gift-giving as each of the 3 kits come packaged separately and ship together.

2072-t34-Restock_Promo-560

A Brickmania fan favorite, the T-34/76 Soviet Medium Tank kit is restocked.  Order your T-34/76 Soviet Medium Tank before 4/3/2016 and receive a Free Russian Infantry with PPSH, while supplies last.

Click to view slideshow.

Developed in great secrecy, the T-34 was Russia’s answer to the growing military threat of Germany in the 1930s. Incorporating many new and innovative features, such as the Christie suspension system and sloping armor, its success was considered a gamble by the Communist Party bosses. While the Soviet Union already had a heavy tank series in production (KV series), the T-34 program was given the go ahead. Stalin’s rationale was that the designers could always be executed if the project failed. While not in full production when Hitler unleashed Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union, the appearance of the T-34 stunned the German High Command. Not only was the T-34 able to withstand almost anything the Germans could throw at it, but its 76mm gun could easily knock out both Panzer IIIs and IVs, then the heaviest tanks in the German arsenal.

Additional information about this Brickmania custom Lego® kit:

  • Fully rotating turret with elevating main gun assembly

2105-New Release-promo-560

Pre-order  your A27M Cromwell IV – British Cruiser Tank before Sunday 4/3/2016 or while supplies last, and receive a Free fully outfitted British Infantry minifig.

The A27M “Cromwell” Cruiser Tank, named for English Civil War leader – Oliver Cromwell, was the first tank put into service by the British to combine a dual-purpose gun, high speed from the powerful and reliable Meteor engine, and reasonable armor, in a balanced package.

The Cromwell first saw action in the Battle of Normandy in June 1944. The tank equipped the armoured reconnaissance regiments of the Royal Armoured Corps (part of the  Royal Tank Regiment), within the 7th, 11th and Guards Armoured Divisions. While the armoured regiments of the latter two divisions were equipped with M4 Shermans, the armoured regiments of the 7th Armoured Division were equipped with Cromwell tanks.  The Cromwell IV was the most numerous variant with over 1,935 units produced. It was not uncommon for this variant to be modified into an observation post. This entailed fitting the tank with 4 portable radios – no. 19 and no. 38. There are currently at least 25 Cromwell IV that exist in the world, many of them in running condition.

SU-152 “Beast Killer” Heavy Tank Destroyer Rolls Out This Week!

SU-152

The official release date is Thursday, April 14th but we’re giving you $30 off the MSRP for orders placed anytime this week (and we’ll ship them before the release date should they come out of production early)!  CLICK TO ORDER

The SU-152 was a frankenstien’s monster of WWII. In the original design, the Soviets mounted a 152mm Howitzer on the chassis of the KV-1S tank. In later production runs the IS tank chassis was used and the design was redesignated as the ISU-152. The SU-152 found itself in the role of impromptu heavy tank destroyer and rose admirably to the task. It was capable of knocking out the heaviest German armored vehicles. Tigers, Panthers and Elefant tank destroyers all met their doom at the business end of the SU-152. This proficiency earned it the name Zveroboy or “Beast Slayer”.

Although not designed for the role, the SU-152 proved to be a cheap, widely produced and effective heavy tank killer, second only to the SU-100 as an antitank vehicle, as well as highly successful at its intended role against infantry and fortifications. In combat, it was used for two distinct purposes: long-range artillery fire support during assaults by suppressing infantry and destroying pillboxes and AT guns, and as ersatz heavy tank destroyers (usually in ambush).  The SU-152 was produced in large numbers throughout 1943, with the first SU-152s being issued to new heavy mechanized gun regiments raised in May 1943. The first regiment arrived at Kursk with only twelve guns, and was brought up to its full strength of twenty-one guns during the fighting.

  • Custom Printed WWII Russian Tank Commander minifig
  • Three opening turret hatches
  • Fully posable gun
  • Removable turret roof with semi-detailed interior compartment
  • 1/35 scale matches other Brickmania models
  • The over-all color scheme of this model is dark gray
  • Includes 777 genuine BrickArms® & LEGO® elements
  • Advanced skill level (6-8 years building experience recommended)

All Brickmania kits are made of new-condition LEGO elements. All kits come disassembled, and include complete full color printed building instructions, and packaged in a sealed box.
