>>10148895Pad printing always looks nicer than UV too. Much more crisp and lego-y. Ktown and Citizenbrick have been putting out some really cool stuff lately. I mostly collect vintage, but have picked up a couple of their newer figs as of late.
>>10148884Brickmania is really a blip in total sales on the lego market. Making batches of 100 when Lego is doing batches of 100,000 and has a catalogue 100x bigger. It's basically the equivalent of a etsy store selling handmade goods you could realistically just go and pick up at a big box store.
I would not have guessed that "custom lego kits" would be a business model that could support dozens of staff, retail locations, etc if they didn't exist.
