Well first of all that was mentioned in the first post Second of all what one vendor makes shouldn't impact what another does, and of course conversely responding to the initial post all vendors should not try to make the same thing just because one did. I haven't seen any vendors do that, it's just what you seemed to imply in your post.

Personally I'm not a trekkie, so I'm not voting for this. However Armothe and RedBean are coming out with stuff all the time, so you never know.

I think that there are also the phasers from the "Next Generation" Era, and the "Enterprise" era, which the latter could lend itself to be just a cool scifi pistol as well as a phaser.

This is what Brickarms is making.



This is what Brickforge should make.

They look like almost the same thing...

This is a picture of Brickarms's phaser design.

too which Brickarms does not sell yet, so if BF comes out with one for sale before BA does, then all the better.

Exactly!

I can't remember the exact quote, but I recall Armothe saying something along the lines of "not making something when someone else has the intention of selling it". Just because they aren't currently selling it doesn't mean they won't be selling it.

I think the first one that BA is making looks sleeker and down right just more cool. Not to be seen as shooting down your idea, but I'd like to see BF make items BA isn't, that way we could get more custom items.

Well Since I no longer buy BA items, I'd wouldn't mind seeing some serious competition of products on this site of what BA makes.
