LEGO Legends of Chima – In June, LEGO registered a couple of trademarks called LEGO Legends of Chima and Speedorz. This news set the LEGO community into a frenzy. This theme has been rumored to be the one to replace the discontinuing LEGO Ninjago theme in 2013. There have been pictures floating around the web of what Legends of Chima look like:

LEGO Lone Ranger Coming In 2013?

September 12, 2012 / / 0 Comments

This is speculation but Klaus-Dieter over on Eurobricks has reported that LEGO will be releasing sets tying in with the new Lone Ranger movie by Disney starring Armie Hammer and and Johnny Depp. LEGO fans have been waiting over a decade for a new Western themed set, which last came out in 2002, and now they might have the chance to get some in April of next year. Because the LEGO Lone Ranger will be themed sets, the minifigures will be fleshed colored instead of the normal yellowed colored minifigs. See below for the post by Klaus:

For the Western fans amongst us, I have good and bad news concerning next year:
The good news is that there finally will be a new Western theme which shall be out in April 2013. There will be one huge set, three medium sized sets and two small sets. Regrettably I don’t more since there were only empty boxes painted in the retailer’s catalogue.
The imo bad news is that it will be licensed – namely based on the new Walt Disney movie “Lones Rider”.

Also remember that mb_bricks achieved 10000 supporters for his Modular Western Town on LEGO CUUSOO which is currently under review. Hopefully these themes won’t be conflicting because both have the potential to be some great themes. Stay tuned for more details of the LEGO Lone Ranger theme.

LEGO Legends of Chima Pictures Leaked

September 12, 2012 / / 2 Comments

As you may have seen, there are some leaked pictures swirling around the web of pictures of the new LEGO Legends of Chima coming out sometime next year. The pictures are found on an eBay listing that ended July 15th. Two of the four pictures in the listing are marked “Confidential” and “Not to be copied or disclosed” and we here at The Brick Fan will be adhering to the wishes of The LEGO Group.

From what I see in the listing, it looks like that will be the theme that will be replacing Ninjago. There are spinners, animal head figures, and lots of weapons. A poster by the name of pezdez on the Brickset forums states that:

a series called Chima (imagine Animal heads like Cats, Lions, alligators, Eagles, Dogs, but with cool scars and minifig bodies, and they have Ripcords instead of Spinners.

So far, there are mixed reactions about the Legends of Chima. Considering these are pre-production pictures, I’m holding off any opinions about the theme until an official comment from LEGO comes out in the near future.

Purchasing and Investing LEGO with BrickPicker

September 9, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Everything that is collectible has value. If you’ve ever bought LEGO sets before or looking into purchasing your first LEGO set, there is the retail price for the set and there is also the current value of the sets in the secondary market. How do you find the prices of the sets? You can either check Bricklink, Amazon, or eBay to find what other people are selling the sets for, which is pretty time consuming.

This is where BrickPicker comes in. This FREE service allows you to see what your “BrickFolio” is worth according to eBay using Terapeak. Brickpicker tracks the value of your collection by comparing the purchase price to the current price whether the sets or in new or used condition. You can also see the pricing trends of the sets and determine if they are a good buy or you should hold off in purchasing them. There is also a chance to win some BrickMaster Star Wars sets by doing things on the site earning BrickPoints.

If you want to see how much your LEGO sets are worth, head over to BrickPicker and set up your BrickFolio today.
