In Episode 4 of Tales From The Brick, Jon is joined by Victor and Maggie from EclipseGrafx, one of the longest-running and most respected custom LEGO printers in the community. The conversation traces Victor’s journey back into LEGO through a chance visit to a LEGO Store at Downtown Disney, his frustration with expensive “display-only” custom minifigures, and how that led him to start making his own; with the goal of creating pieces meant to be played with, not locked behind glass.

Victor and Maggie share the real story behind EclipseGrafx’s evolution: early water-slide decals, their first event at Lyndhurst Manor, the move into pad printing, and the constant balance between quality, speed, and sustainability. They talk candidly about learning the hard way, why quality matters more than trends, and how creative vision often clashes with market expectations.

The episode also dives deep into LEGO fandom history and convention culture - how events have changed over the last 15–20 years, the impact of The LEGO Movie and LEGO Masters, and why the modern hobby feels more saturated than ever. Along the way, Victor shares behind-the-scenes stories involving Marvel, LEGO trademarks, logo redesigns, glow-in-the-dark printing, kits that almost broke him, and the unexpected paths that led EclipseGrafx to work with LEGO itself.

They also discuss acquiring Brick Warriors, launching custom injection-molded accessories, funding new molds through Whatnot streams, and what’s coming next - including Halo collaborations, Fallout, Castle, Vikings, and beyond.
