Did you know our founder and CEO recently published a book? It's called "Be Careful What You Joust For", so as you might have guessed, it's got a little something to do with jousting. We really encourage you read it, but wanted first to provide a little backstory for deeper understanding. When BrickWarriors created the Lance, we felt that no greater custom LEGO weapon had ever come out of our little office. Long, sleek, and available in a rainbow's breadth of colors, the lance is pretty awesome. So awesome that it deserved its own book! I'm actually yanking your chain; the lance in definitely cool, but it's not exactly the coolest. So while it does make an appearance in the book, it wasn't quite the driving factor. Don't let this stop you from buying one, and don't let it stop you from giving the book a read too!
