lego wont make these abrams
😤 Want the military sets LEGO's too scared to make?
Owning one almost feels illegal.
A
HERO (finished build / the ad's opening frame)
I've been building LEGO since before I can remember. And like a lot of you, the sets I loved most as a kid were the ones with a fight in them, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, anything with a vehicle I could imagine going to war in. I've wanted a LEGO Abrams, or a LEGO Warthog, for over a decade. But…
LEGO won't make these. Not now, not ever.
Their own policy bans it: no military vehicles, no weapons, no exceptions. (Except for the times they decided to release Nazi soldiers in Indiana Jones, violent Star Wars sets, and literal military aircraft like the Blue Power Jet or the V-22 Osprey.)
LEGO F-35
Diehard LEGO fans may say "LEGO doesn't want to glorify war to children."
BUT you know, SOME people do have an interest in military stuff! (Roughly 100 to 120 million Americans.)
We like LEGO too. We just got told what we love doesn't get made.
For years I assumed I was stuck. I figured anything that wasn't LEGO was either illegal, or cheap garbage, or both.
But then I found something…
Most people don't realise that LEGO's patent on the bricks expired in 1978…
PATENT (1978)
So, although it feels too good to be true, companies like BrickWar can legally produce their own high-quality military sets, at a third of the price of LEGO.
But "surely if it's so cheap, the quality is nowhere near as good as LEGO?"
That's exactly what LEGO wants you to think…
But it's exactly where you're wrong. Here's why…
I get the skepticism, because most "off-brand" brick sets absolutely deserve it. I've been scammed before. The issue with these knockoffs is:
- They use low-grade, often hazardous plastics to save money, which feel nothing like LEGO. They'll either snap, disintegrate, or bend at a touch.
- Molds are put together hastily with no care for precision and tolerances, meaning bricks fit together either too loose or too tight (inconsistent clutch power). Who wants their set falling apart the moment they pick it up to show someone?
- The molds aren't well maintained, leading to serious inconsistencies in color, fit, quality & more.
- Sloppy manufacturing processes mean missing parts, broken pieces, and other issues.
Now, the concept of a super-cheap off-brand set is nice, but are the real costs really worth it?
ADD: knockoff vs BrickWar, side by side (the difference in 2 seconds)
So then I thought: fine, I'll just build something from real LEGO bricks myself. But there are two HUGE problems with that:
- LEGO on the aftermarket is not cheap. Unless you have a basement full of every brick in every color, you'll be paying 10x retail price, for plastic. Not to mention this means competing with other buyers to source bricks from around the globe.
- You want cool military builds, that doesn't mean you know how to design something good yourself. And the instructions you can buy online are often extremely confusing & complex, with the designs being fragile, untested, and time-consuming. The complete opposite of what you want.
But What Makes BrickWar Different?
This is the part that got me. BrickWar's team is made up of military-obsessed ex-LEGO designers, who got fed up with not being able to make what they really wanted.
That changes everything, because it means the people making these:
- Know how to do their job.
- Care about getting things right.
- Can competently design a high-quality set that won't fall apart with a touch like a fragile MOC or the Temu junk made by people who don't care.
Each set takes months of expert research & development to get right. Quality over speed.
PRODUCT DETAIL 3
The Elephant in the Room
"But what about the bricks? 80% of what makes LEGO good is the build experience, knockoff bricks never feel the same!"
I hear you. BUT BrickWar is not a knockoff…
- They use Novodur ABS. This grade is customized for high gloss, dimensional stability, and precise molding tolerances of within four microns. The exact same as LEGO.
- They use injection molds to a precision tolerance of 0.004mm, matching that famous "clutch power" you get from a LEGO brick, tight and uniform. This is what lets you snap a brick made today onto one manufactured in 1958.
- 100% compatible with an official LEGO brick.
If you don't care about the specifics, all this means is: you won't be able to tell the difference between their bricks and an official LEGO brick…
Don't believe me? Here are some pictures of their production line, and the certificates to prove it:

QUALITY CERTIFICATES (ABS spec / tolerance certs)
So whenever someone tells me BrickWar is "too expensive," I'll show them a cheap knockoff first, the difference is obvious in two seconds.
Then I'll calculate how much the exact same set would cost if they purchased the official LEGO bricks.
But that's before the custom-printed minifigs, the exclusive weapons & accessories, AND the custom molds they use to make their builds as accurate as possible. All of which is included in the price of the set for FREE.

It comes out to at least 3-5x what BrickWar charges, for the exact same quality.
The response is always the same: "I never realised how much value this company actually provides for the price. It's not expensive, it's cheap!"
