LEGO Art Alternate Building Instructions in Rewards Center

January 19, 2022 / / 0 Comments

There are some LEGO Art alternate building instructions that you can download in the Rewards Center. Although these particular instructions have been online for a while now, they were posted under the About page for the LEGO Art theme and you had to go to each set to find the instructions. In the Rewards Center, you can just download them from a single area without having to search for them.

For the World Map (31203), you can also build either Europe or a map Denmark with its pieces. For Mickey Mouse (31202), you can build alternate views of Mickey and Minnie. Finally, for the Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests (31201), you can create the Golden Snitch, Platform 9 3/4, or Hedwig.

The Brick Fan Celebrates 10 Year Anniversary

January 18, 2022 / / 0 Comments

I didn’t think that I would get to this point but The Brick Fan celebrates ten years of being on the Internet. A decade ago, the domain was registered and I still remember where I was when I registered it. Longtime readers may remember that the site went by another name but due to a trademark violation of the original site name, I had to change it and I think it stuck pretty well, don’t you think?

Of course, it wouldn’t be here if there wasn’t for the readers who continue to support the site. I remember trying to get my name out there and to get 50 pageviews a day was an accomplishment to me. Then came 100 pageviews a day, then 1,000. After a year and a half, we finally got to 10,000 a day.

I’m also surprised that I kept on grinding for this long. To think … Continue
