LEGO Titanic Set Rumored for 2021 Release

January 26, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Over the past week or so, there have been some new rumors of an upcoming LEGO set based on the Titanic. YouTube channel Brother From Another Brick has received information from Eurobricks user VanIslandLego about a LEGO Titanic set coming later on this year. There’s no other details mentioned but we can expect it during the second half of the year. Keep in mind that VanIslandLego is the same person who first reported on the LEGO Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (10274) and the LEGO Colosseum (10276) before they were released.

The last large scale ship that LEGO has released was the LEGO Creator Maersk Line Triple-E (10241) way back in 2014 but if the Titanic is real, it is sort of macabre due to it having over 1,500 people dying when it sank in 1912.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463) Review

January 25, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

Releasing on February 1, the new LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463) is unlike some of the seasonal animal sets that have been released before it. Before we get to that, we’ll note that it has 293 pieces and will retail for $14.99.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

The first part of the build is for the display stand, similar to the one found with the Valentine’s Brown Bear (40462). For the foundation, the designer has put in a carrot to also act as a support for the plates on top. There’s a spot on the corner for the bunny to sit and the other side has spots for two brick-built Easter eggs that come with the set.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

The bunny itself is consists of several parts that connect to the body. There are a lot of curved plates and bricks that are used to give it a more natural look. The hind legs are on ball joints but they don’t actually give any advantage to being able to pose it. If you angle the legs just right, you can probably get some poseability out of it but is limited due to the tail and the weight of the head.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Bunny (40463)

The head is also on a ball joint and this gives it a decent range of motion which allows it to have some emotion. It isn’t much but at least it doesn’t just spin around like with the heads of previous seasonal builds. Lastly, the ears are on ball joints as well.

LEGO Brick Sketches Price Adjustment on LEGO Shop

January 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has quietly dropped the price for all the LEGO Brick Sketches to $16.99 on the LEGO Shop. This is a straight up price adjustment from the original $19.99 price point and not a discounted price. There’s no word why the price change but it’s good for those who haven’t picked them up yet. For those who already bought them when they first came out last July, we’re pretty much out of luck on it but we can expect to see the new price on future Brick Sketches.

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466) Review

January 24, 2021 / / 0 Comments

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

The Lunar New Year is coming up in a few short weeks and LEGO has released a set to celebrate it with the Chinese New Year Pandas (40466). The set has 249 pieces and retails for $19.99 and it features a mother panda along with two cubs.

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

The mother panda is in a sitting position. The build uses a number of the Brick 1X2X1 2/3 W/4 Knobs for the head which allows it to have details on all four sides. It has its own baseplate which includes a red lantern as well as a small mandarin orange tree. The tree also has a couple of small lanterns.

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

One of the baby pandas is also in a sitting position. Like its mother, the head uses the specialized bricks for the head but in a smaller scale. It also comes with a bamboo stalk.

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

The other cub is similar to the other one except that the legs are straight and there’s a Technic hole in the back to connect to the baseplate. This makes it look like it’s either sleeping or playfully frolic on the floor. It also has a stalk of bamboo.

LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466)

Overall, it’s nice to see LEGO expand on the the Lunar New Year celebration but the LEGO BrickHeadz Chinese New Year Pandas (40466) seem to be somewhat lacking something. The mother panda and her baseplate are the best things from it and I do like the detailing in the tree. They are cute and I have them displayed on my shelf but the price … Continue

Toy Fairs Delayed/Cancelled Around the World

January 22, 2021 / / 0 Comments

This is usually the time of the year where we get excited for some of the toy fairs that where we get details of the 2HY LEGO sets. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is still wrecking havoc around the world and that means that many of the events that should be happening have been delayed further or cancelled altogether. The big one is the New York Toy Fair which is when we get a first glimpse at the sets but they have announced that the show will not be taking place this year, at least in New York. It was originally planned for May 2021. In addition, the London Toy Fair has announced that their event will not be taking place either while the Nuremberg Toy Fair has been pushed to summer 2021.

Obviously this is disappointing but not unexpected and understandable due to the events happening throughout the world. LEGO has been doing their own reveals, as seen late last year, when they revealed some of the new products that have been recently released on the LEGO Shop. It’s wishful thinking but maybe they could something like what Hasbro is doing with Hasbro Pulse and Fan First Friday’s where they reveal new products every week but that probably won’t happen. As least we’ll still get guaranteed reveals of the D2C sets that will be released this year.

LEGO Bionicle Leads LEGO Ideas 90th Anniversary Fan Vote

January 22, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Earlier this week, LEGO kicked off a fan vote campaign to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the company to choose one classic LEGO theme that they will make a set for. As of this post, there have been 58,632 votes cast for the three LEGO themes that will move one to the next round of voting.

It’s hard to see to has voted what but I have been forwarded to a post by StoneWars who has done the hard work of aggregating the data and has calculated the three themes that are in the lead which are Bionicle, Classic Space, and Pirates. Trains and Adventurers were very close behind so the last spot may have changed since their post so every vote matters. Not surprisingly, Bionicle has an overwhelming lead as that community is very passionate about the theme.

There are three days left to cast your votes for the LEGO theme that you want to see be made into a set in the near future. The fan vote will end on January 25 at 4am EST.

Future Gift with Purchase Item Teased in LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) Designer Video?

January 20, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday’s release of the designer video for the LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) may have also teased a future gift with purchase item. About 1:10 into the video when LEGO designer Wes Talbott reaches up to the cabinet to get the set, the right side of it has a small castle build on top of some storage bricks. A few keen eyed readers have already suggest that this little build could be a GWP next month when the Medieval Blacksmith is released.

We all know LEGO likes to do teasers for upcoming products but there hasn’t been any updates from LEGO on upcoming promotions so we’ll have to wait for the LEGO Store Calendar to be published online to see whether or not it will be a GWP. Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it.

LEGO IDEAS® REVEALS MEDIEVAL SET STARRING THE UNSUNG HERO OF THE MIDDLE AGES – THE HONOURABLE BLACKSMITH

LEGO Ideas has taken a leaf out of the history books with the design of its latest set, a charming Medieval Blacksmith’s house. The new set is based on an original design by an avid LEGO builder, which achieved over 10,000 votes from LEGO fans worldwide – giving it the green light to go into production.

LEGO superfan Clemens Fiedler originally submitted the concept to LEGO Ideas; a LEGO initiative that takes new ideas that have been imagined and voted for by fans and turns them into reality. The LEGO Ideas® Medieval Blacksmith set harks back to a time when cottage industries and artisans were the cornerstone of society and was brought to life by LEGO designers Wes Talbott and Austin Carlson.

When thinking of medieval times, the focus is normally on the kings and queens, knights and ladies, their castles and the battles between good and evil, but this new medieval set has an unexpected twist showing the unsung hero of those epic battles and adventures – the humble Blacksmith.

True to the era,the LEGO® Ideas Medieval Blacksmith set includes bold period design features from the timber framed walls to the

The Brick Fan Turns 9 Years Old

It’s January 18 and that means that The Brick Fan turns nine years old today. For those who have recently found the site, it went by another name when I first started out but had to change it to The Brick Fan and January 18 was the day that domain went live. I’m even surprised that I kept up with it throughout these years which actually doesn’t seem that long. I still remember the day that I got my first LEGO set after my Dark Age and wanted to do something fun with it. And boom, here we are. FYI, it was the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (7965).

Last year, it was a terrible year for the world but a lot of you had time to be online more and it marked the best year we had on the site in terms of pageviews and first time visitors. For 2021, we are currently on pace to be even better than last year which is very remark considering we’re only just barely past the halfway point of the first month. I just also realized that we’ve just past 100 million pageviews, a goal that I never imagined hitting!

There are some new rumors for the LEGO Star Wars sets for the second half of the year and there’s a lot to absorb. Most of the sets will be based on The Clone Wars as well as The Mandalorian. The larger UCS sets will include an AT-AT and not the Death Star as I reported before, along with an updated R2-D2 and the Republic Gunship. Another interesting item is Darth Vader’s Meditation Chamber which is an 18+ set with a badge, similar to the Bespin Duel (75294).

As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

Check out the press release of the 10th anniversary of LEGO Ninjago below which includes a cool timeline of some of the major events that have happened in Ninjago throughout the years. There are also some new March 2021 Ninjago sets have been revealed below as well.

LEGO Marvel Eternals

The new LEGO January 2021 catalog should be arriving in mailboxes here in the US and the very back of it shows off the new LEGO Marvel Eternals sets. We finally have the US pricing for them and they’re about average for your typical Marvel set. There are four sets shown off and they include:

Eternals’ Aerial Assault (76145) – 133 pieces/$9.99

Deviant Ambush (76154)

Thena, Gilgamesh and Makkari are under attack from a 6-legged, biting Deviant! The 3 Eternals have amazing powers – Thena can summon weapons, Gilgamesh has super-strength and Makkari runs faster than the speed of sound. Will they overcome the evil Deviant? Only you can decide. Plus…if you collect The Eternals LEGO minifigures this awesome playset is the only one to feature Gilgamesh.

In Arishem’s Shadow

When Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, and Ajak take on an evil Deviant, anything can happen! Sersi transforms matter into…anything, Ikaris has superhuman strength, Kingo fires energy and Ajak communicates with Celetials.

LEGO City Design Team Explains New Road Plates (60304) Implementation

January 7, 2021 / / 0 Comments

The new LEGO City Road Plates (60304) are now available and fans have been getting their first-hand look at them but not without some reluctance to switching from the traditional road plates. The LEGO City Design Team has released a statement on the LAN of why they went with this new road system in which the roads are brick-built. Since the rumors and eventual reveal of the set, there have been a lot of differing opinions on the pros and cons for both the old road plates and the new ones. Which LEGO road system do you prefer?

There are several benefits from the new LEGO® City road plates being introduced in 2021. The new road plates play an integral role in the LEGO City products where it, due to the modular nature of the builds, allows you to be creative and create the LEGO City of your liking. This is the reason we actually believe the new road plate provides a more authentic building experience and also because it can be reconfigured in many ways and it allows you to connect your LEGO City buildings in a better way. Going forward we will also be able to include one or more road plates in relevant products across the LEGO City portfolio. This was something we were not able to with the old version. We believe this will be a big advantage for the kids as they don’t need to buy a separate road plate product to get started building their LEGO City. We also

The Brick Fan 2020 Recap

January 1, 2021 / / 0 Comments

2020 was a challenging year for everyone around the world but we’ve managed to continue grinding it out here on The Brick Fan. Today is one of my favorite times of the year as we can take a look at some of the stats for the site and how it compares to the previous years.

Since a majority of the world was under lockdown for a few months, people had a lot of time to go online. This means more time to read LEGO fan sites for news and updates as well as reviews and such. We ended the year at 25,803,380 pageviews which is up 13.5% from 2019. This also resulted in an increase of unique views and first time visitors as well.

There were 1,025 posts which was the most number of posts in a year for the site. The highest traffic day was on November 23 in which a combination of posts contributed to it including the reveal of the the LEGO Botanical Collection, and LEGO Star Wars sets as well as the December Store Calendar.

On social media, our counts are still slowly going up which you can see below:

Facebook – 18,672 likes/21,603 followers (16.4% increase)
Twitter – 10,824 followers (12.9% increase)
Instagram – 16.420 (7.3% increase)
Reddit – 538 readers (28.5% increase)

Overall, 2020 was a very successful year on the site and I truly appreciate everyone who comes to read it. I know it’s pretty hard doing normal stuff right now with the pandemic still going on. … Continue

Let creativity bloom with new botanical builds from the LEGO Group

Billund, December, 30th, 2020: Today, the LEGO Group has revealed a new range of mindful models for the green-fingered. The decorative LEGO® Botanical Collection includes a stunning LEGO® Flower Bouquet to brighten the home, and a LEGO® Bonsai Tree for those looking to be more zen in the new year.

While many people seek out green spaces to destress and relax, adults can now bring a touch of nature into their home and unwind as they create and customise their botanical builds….and the great news is that LEGO plants don’t need to be watered to stay fresh.

With 7 in 10 adults saying they often research new ways to distress(1) and over 8 in 10 saying play helps them relax(2), the new sets could provide the perfect perennial project for those looking to get creative, destress and find moments of mindfulness in a day.

Both sets in the new LEGO Botanical Collection include a number of elements made from plant-based plastic, produced using sustainably sourced sugarcane.

LEGO Chinese New Year 2021 GWPs Revealed

December 27, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Chinese New Year 2021 sets will be available early January and they seem to be a hit so far with fans. LEGO has released a new video showing off one of the sets and at the end, they showed some gift with purchase items that you can get when you purchase the sets. As you can see above, you can get a LEGO Lunar New Year Pagoda and a Lunar New Year Lantern when you buy both the Story of Nian (80106) and Spring Lantern Festival (80107).

The video didn’t say where the promotion will be happening but these little promo items usually aren’t available in North America. I’ll be really surprised if LEGO does make it available here. We’ll see once LEGO publishes the Store Calendar, hopefully this week, if those items will be on it. I’m pretty sure the Year of the Ox (40417) set will be a promo item for January to celebrate the release of the sets.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2020 Nebulon-B Frigate Giveaway

Merry Christmas to all the brick fans out there! To celebrate this holiday, I’m giving away a copy of the LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904) which was a cancelled San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusive set that was eventually sold on Amazon and on the LEGO Shop. If you’ve been trying to get this set, you know how hard it is to get it as it has been the fastest set to go out of stock out of all the SDCC exclusives. This copy was from Amazon and there is a little issue with it.

As you can see from the images, there is a long scratch going across it. I’m not sure how it happened but that’s how I got it when it came in the mail. Looks like someone took a knife and scraped across it. Other than that, the set is still sealed and one lucky winner will be getting it. All you have to do is to enter the giveaway below.

LEGO Harry Potter The Monster Book of Monsters (30628) Coming Soon to LEGO Shop?

December 22, 2020 / / 0 Comments

For those who weren’t able to get the LEGO Harry Potter The Monster Book of Monsters (30628) from Barnes & Noble last month as part of a GWP or earlier this month by itself, you may have another chance on the LEGO Shop. There is now a product listing for the set which states it is a free item. If I were to guess, it’ll most likely be a promo item some time in January. We’re not sure of the exact date it will launch or the price threshold as the LEGO Store Calendar hasn’t been published yet but we’ll let you know once we have some info.

LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) Roof Change Reasoning

December 21, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, we reported that the LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) was given new parts for the cockpit roof and LEGO has given an explanation why they changed it. The reasoning is as obvious as you think which is the 6×6 tile has a matte finish to it along with an injection point in the middle. Since there is now a the new 2×6 tile, LEGO decided to update the Batmobile with the new parts, three of them to be exact. LEGO suggests to hold off on requesting the new parts until February or March but I’ve already suggested contacting customer service about it which many of you have already done. The Batmobile is still out of stock on the LEGO Shop but it is available on Amazon with shipping still arriving before Christmas.

As everyone has speculated, the change was done due to the creation of the new 2×6 tile. The 6×6 tile has a non polished surface and with the creation of this new 2×6 tile element the project team decided to update the current model to make this iconic car look even greater 🙂

If you would like the new roof I would recommend holding off requesting until February or March. This request is done with understanding that many kids lose parts or having missing parts from their Christmas presents.

You can report the elements “missing” on LEGO.com, hopefully in a few months :), and the parts will be on their way.

LEGO 2020 Employee Gift – Celebrating 40 Years of Hands-On Learning (4002020) Revealed

December 20, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Celebrating 40 Years of Hands-On Learning (4002020)

Each year LEGO gives their employees a limited edition set as a Christmas gift and for 2020, LEGO celebrates the 40th anniversary of the LEGO Education theme with this set. As a LEGO Ambassador, we were also given this gift as a present as well. There’s no official set name but the included pamphlet titles it Celebrating 40 Years of Hands-On Learning (4002020) so that’s what we’re calling it.

The back of the box talks about the LEGO gearwheel which also celebrates its 50th year since it was introduced and it is mainly featured in this set.

LEGO Celebrating 40 Years of Hands-On Learning (4002020)-2

It’s been 40 years since LEGO Education was established and 50 years since the introduction of the first universal LEGO gearwheel. We mark this double anniversary with this special LEGO Education-inspired model, full of festive magic. Enjoy.

The 919 piece model features a couple of elves working in their workshop getting some presents ready. When you turn the wheel on the right side, pretty much everything goes into motion including the Christmas tree spinning, the elves moving, and the conveyor belt rotates to reveal presents on the line.

As a collector, I usually keep these sets sealed but there are plenty of reviews of it online that you can check out. The set has been sold online on the secondary market for a while now but we held off on sharing it so that LEGO employees can be surprised for their gift. Thank you to the LEGO Engagement Team for their work and generosity this year!

LEGO Marvel Attack on the Spider Lair (76175) Official Images

December 20, 2020 / / 0 Comments

One of the more LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2021 sets that I’m really excited for is the Attack on the Spider Lair (76175). It has 466 pieces and retails for $69.99 but it won’t be out here in the US until March 1. One of the more interesting things about the set is that it includes a number of Spider-Men from the Spider-Verse including regular Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Iron Spider, and Ultimate Spider-Man, aka Big Time Spider-Man.

If you look really close, there’s also some Easter Eggs in the set at the monitors where it is showing the Bombastic Bag-Man Suit on the left monitor where Peter Parker uses a spare Fantastic Four costume. The right monitor shows someone playing a Spider-Man game, possibly the one from Insomniac on the PlayStation 4. The PS4-style controller nearby could be a clue.

Could LEGO have something in the works with Sony or is this just something the designers threw in while using some creative liberties. The Bombastic Bag-Man suit is also a big thing considering we don’t have any official Fantastic Four characters as LEGO minifigures. This could mean that we may get them in the future considering that the team is back with Marvel after Disney bought out 20th Century Fox. Of course this is just speculation but this is a very interesting teaser that fans may have missed.

If you’re in Canada and want to secure one of the new and highly anticipated LEGO Botanical Collection sets, you may want to head over to Amazon Canada. They are offering preorders for both the Flower Bouquet (10280) and the Bonsai Tree (10281). I fully expected these two sets to sell out when they launch on the LEGO Shop on January 1 so why not guarantee the sets early and avoid the hassle later of trying to find one later. Unfortunately, you’ll be missing out on VIP points and whatever promotion(s) LEGO will be having. Again, this is for Canada only.

LEGO Ideas BrickLink Designer Program Project Speculation

December 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO announced that they will be working with BrickLink to produce LEGO Ideas projects that were made into official set. As of this writing, there are 44 non-IP projects that were not approved to become sets and that number jumps up to 60 if you count the ones that are currently in review. From the list, there were plenty of projects that fans wanted to be real sets but couldn’t and this upcoming program could finally allow it.

Information about the program is still mostly under wraps but more details will be coming early next year. Depending on when that is, it may or may not include the projects that are currently under review and will also depend on when LEGO announces the next wave of winner(s). Now that we know that only select non-IP projects will be under consideration, which ones do you want to purchase if it comes to the BrickLink AFOL Designer Program?

LEGO Announces Collaboration with BrickLink to Produce Rejected LEGO Ideas Projects

December 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced that they are moving forward with the pilot program with the BrickLink Designer Program to produce LEGO Ideas projects that didn’t become official sets. It will kick off in 2021 where select designers will invited to proceed forward. That’s no any other details at this time but expect more information early next year. What do you guys think about this new LEGO/BrickLink program to allow a second chance for sets to be realized?

Dear LEGO Ideas members,

As you know, LEGO Ideas has historically produced 4-5 new LEGO sets each year based on creative fan concepts that have reached the 10,000-supporter milestone. We love the fact that we are able to offer this opportunity to passionate LEGO fans around the world. However, we must acknowledge that many fan creators and the supporters of these projects have been left hoping their favourite contenders would be available to purchase.

Today we are excited to announce a pilot project in collaboration with BrickLink Designer Program, through which we aim to realize more of these fan projects that have reached 10,000 supporters.

BrickLink Designer Program

Back in 2018, BrickLink launched a pilot program with the LEGO Group to celebrate 60 years of the LEGO® brick and help realize unique fan designs with original themes. Thirteen fan designs were successfully crowdfunded through the pilot, and we have received many questions about its potential its return since then. Would there be a second iteration? If so, when? You will not have to wait much longer because we can happily … Continue

LEGO BrickHeadz 150th Theme Winner Announced

Last month, LEGO did a fan vote to pick the 150th LEGO BrickHeadz set and the winning theme has been announced. There were four themes to choose from and they are Lilo & Stitch, Minecraft, Jaws, and Star Wars and the winner is:

Star Wars

There were 13,000 people who voted and the majority of it went to Star Wars. This is obviously very disappointing as we’ve already seen 15 other Star Wars BrickHeadz already while there were two brand new IPs on the table that could’ve been added. Oh well, let’s just wait for yet another Star Wars BrickHeadz to be their special 150th one.

Predicting Future LEGO Sets for Upcoming Marvel/MCU Projects

December 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few hours ago, Disney held their Investor Day where they showed a lot of upcoming shows from various franchises. The most exciting thing for me was the Marvel Studios part of the event where Kevin Feige talked about some of the projects that will be coming out for Marvel and the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the next few years. Let’s take a look at everything that was shown to see if there’s any potential LEGO sets that could come out of it. Of course, these are only guesses and not guaranteed to be true.

• WandaVision – We probably won’t see anything come out for this.
• The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – It’s possible that there could be a one-off set for it featuring both characters.
• Loki – An interesting show that I have no idea what’s going on and highly unlikely to see any sets.
• What If…? – I can actually see this happening in some form. It’ll be cool to see some of the main Marvel characters in different roles.
• Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings – 50% chance we’ll see one set for the movie.
• Ms. Marvel – A good opportunity to introduce the character to a wider audience.
• Captain Marvel 2 – More than likely we’ll see something out of it.
• Hawkeye – The show will be cool but probably no.
• She-Hulk – Like Ms. Marvel, it’ll be cool to see a She-Hulk minifigure.
• Moon Knight – I’d give it … Continue

LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) Roof Updated

December 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you purchased the LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) early on, the roof on the cockpit used a matte 6×6 tile which also shows a unsightly injection point in the middle. LEGO has recently updated the set quietly on the building instructions and has changed out the part out for three 2×6 tiles (Part 6318582) to give it a sleeker look which is more consistent with the rest of the vehicle.

If you have the set already, you can contact customer service to see if they will be able to offer you the parts. The tile is a new piece for 2020 as it was introduced with the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) and the LEGO Ideas 123 Sesame Street (21324). You can also purchase it on Bricks & Pieces for $0.29 each. If you are able to purchase the 1989 Batmobile when it is back in stock, you’ll most likely get the updated parts and instructions.

LEGO Shop Europe has recently updated their Retiring Soon list and there are some sets you may think of picking up before they go away by the end of the year. Although they aren’t listed on the North American, I believe it’ll be the same for over here.

Cartoon image of a factory and a tree shaking hands

Today, the LEGO Group has committed to reducing its absolute carbon emissions by 37% by 2032 to ensure the company plays its part in limiting the effects of climate change. The target has been approved by the Science Based Target initiative as consistent with levels required to keep global warming to below 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

The company’s target covers emissions from its own operations which equates to 10% of total emissions and includes energy use in its factories, offices and stores, and from its supply chain which equates to 90% of emissions including areas such as raw materials and distribution.

Tim Brooks, VP, Environmental Responsibility, said: “Climate change poses one of the biggest risks to society and the planet that our children will inherit. We are committed to building a better planet for future generations and that means stepping up efforts to reduce carbon emissions across our entire value chain.”

Could Rejected LEGO Ideas Projects be Coming to BrickLink?

December 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has been working more and more with BrickLink, whom they’ve acquired late last year, and putting in resources to help both companies. Recently, they have released a survey asking LEGO fans if they are members of BrickLink and know about LEGO Ideas.

Help us realize more fan creations!

The LEGO Group and BrickLink want to realize more fan creations for the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) community.

As part of this, we are investigating opportunities that the AFOL community has brought forward to see if there’s actually an appetite for these kinds of ideas and to investigate its feasibility.

Please help us by filling out this explorative survey. It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to complete. Your participation matters greatly because it improves our ability to do more for you, whether you are a BrickLink seller, buyer, fan designer, or any combination of them!

In the blurb, they state that both companies want to realize more fan creations for AFOLs and are looking at opportunities to do that. From the looks of what they are asking, it seems that they could be bringing some LEGO Ideas projects to BrickLink, referring to the projects that did not pass the review stage.

Let’s say that a project you voted for was not seleceted for production by the LEGO Group. How would you feel if the project was realized through the BrickLink site instead?

Since the support is already there for the most part in terms of the number of supporters achieved for a particular project, BrickLink … Continue

Could LEGO Collectible Minifigures May 2021 Wave be Based on Space Jam 2?

December 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you saw yesterday, the new January-May 2021 LEGO Catalog was released and one of the pages showed the Series 21 LEGO Collectible Minifigures. On the bottom right corner it also shows a new series will be out in May.

Way back in August, we reported that there was a rumor that there could be a LEGO Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures coming out next year. I’m not sure where but I’ve recently heard somewhere that this wave could be based on Space Jam: A New Legacy which is the new movie that features LeBron James and other newer NBA and WNBA stars. It also includes some Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Pepe Le Pew, Marvin the Martian, Lola Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, Foghorn Leghorn, and Yosemite Sam. If LEGO continues the 12 minifigures per wave, that’s already 10 of them. We can probably throw in Elmer Fudd and the Tasmanian Devil as the last two since they were in the first Space Jam.

Of course, this is purely a rumor and we really don’t know what LEGO has in store for this wave coming out in May. Note that Space Jam 2 comes out in July and marketing for the movie will have probably started by then.

The New Zealand LEGO January-May 2021 Catalog is now available and inside are some new sets we haven’t seen before including a teaser for the upcoming LEGO Vidiyo theme. There’s nothing much shown besides the Vidiyo logo and a QR code which leads to a 404 page.

Releasing in March, LEGO Vidiyo is supposedly the partnership theme between LEGO and Universal Music Group. Rumor has it is that the sets will be centered around making music videos and they feature cube style boxes that will have printed 2×2 album cover tiles that you can scan with your phone to reveal an interactive experience. It does sound pretty interesting and I look forward to the official reveal of the sets.

Rest of Other 2021 LEGO Star Wars Sets Revealed

November 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we got a first look at the upcoming 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets and we now have the rest of the lineup including the spring sets. Our friend Just2Good got some of the sets from LEGO and the back of the instructions has listed the other sets that we haven’t seen yet including:

Imperial Shuttle (75302)
4+ Resistance X-Wing (75297)
Taun Taun & AT-AT Microfighter (75297)

The instructions also show the minifigures that are in each set and the Imperial Shuttle has a Luke Skywalker minifigure with a blue lightsaber which is actually wrong because by this time, he has the green one already. I’m not sure if this is an error and will be fixed later on or not.

What do you guys think of the 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets? So far I’ve seen a mixed reaction for these sets. Some like the smaller sets that are still pretty accurate and a cheaper price point but some don’t like the constant rehashes of previous sets when there’s a slew of other vehicles that could be used.

More Details on LEGO Art Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests (31201)

November 25, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, we got our first look at the LEGO Art Harry Potter (31201) set and there is now more information about the set including a combined look for the Hogwarts crest. The set has 4,249 pieces and costs $119.99 and one set allows you to build one crest from the four Hogwarts houses so it’ll take you four sets to build the Hogwarts crest which will run you a cool $480.

LEGO Kicks Off How to Spot a Fake LEGO Webstore Campaign

November 24, 2020 / / 0 Comments

With more people shopping online this year, there’s also a higher chance that people get scammed by some fake websites who are set up just to steal your credit card/personal information. LEGO has kicked off a campaign to teach shoppers how to spot a fake LEGO webstore. For most of us who have been in the hobby for a while, we can easily spot them but this is for some newer fans who are looking for deals.

The most evident sign is that the site is selling expensive sets at really low prices. If you see the UCS Millennium Falcon that is normally priced at $799.99 selling for $200, that’s obviously not going to happen. There was a legit sale last year for it when it went down to $480 but that was on Amazon which is a legit seller of LEGO.

LEGO on the backend has been taking down some of these fake sites but as we know, you take one down, two more pops up. If you see them on social media, you can always report them but it depends on if there are enough reports to get them taken down. The post also suggests that you can contact LEGO Customer Service to report them.

LEGO Announces Initiatives to Teach Kids About Cyberbullying

November 16, 2020 / / 0 Comments

With more kids being online this year, LEGO has announced a new initiative to teach kids how to handle cyberbullying. There is a new Build & Talk activity over at www.LEGO.com/cyberbullying that helps parents talk to kids about cyberbullying. In addition, there is a new LEGO Friends #BoostUp experience on the LEGO Life app to help address this subject.

Billund, November 16th, 2020: The LEGO Group has today expanded its range of family-focused digital child safety and wellbeing initiatives to help families have conversations and learn more about how to tackle cyberbullying in an engaging, memorable way.

A new ‘Build & Talk’ activity guide has been created to help parents and caregivers initiate conversations with their child about this challenging subject while completing some simple LEGO® builds together. At the same time a new playful LEGO Friends #BoostUp experience is being introduced in the LEGO Life app, developed with Peppy Pals, a leading creator of digital social and emotional learning experiences, to help children understand and celebrate the power of being kind online and giving them the skills they need to thrive online.

Social media and digital networks can provide friendship lifelines for many children globally, particularly at a time when many remain out of school due to the pandemic. While most children use social media as a force for kindness; by the time a child is in their teenage years, the majority say they have experienced cyberbullying[1]. The new initiatives from the LEGO Group have been developed to help children feel empowered to spot and

Design Your Own LEGO City Set Unboxing

November 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, we reported that LEGO was testing a new service that allows you to design your own LEGO City set. A reader named Andreas was able to purchase one and he has sent over images of the unboxing experience.

As you can see from the images, the box shows the set you’ve created on the front along with your name on the bottom right corner. The back and side shows the vehicles, building, minifigure, and animals that you can choose from to add in your custom set.

The builds are separated into individual bags along with the building instructions. There’s also a sticker sheet which looks to have all of the stickers for all the different builds.

Overall, the line has extremely great potential and will be a great idea for gift giving. The recipient will most likely be overjoyed seeing their name on the box along with getting the builds. Obviously, LEGO has to update the builds to keep it fresh and would work good with their other themes as well however it probably won’t work with licensed ones. The pilot program is now over and LEGO is gathering details on how it will work in the future. Hopefully the feedback is good and will roll out worldwide.

Unfortunately, the pilot project has been completed and we are now in the process of analyzing the feedback we have received. At present, we are unfortunately unable to confirm the project’s future plans, and our primary focus is to test the concept and gather

Earlier today, it was revealed there will be an announcement for the new LEGO Colosseum (10276) this week and there’s also rumors of a gift with purchase set with it.

If you didn’t hear yet, the Colosseum will be the largest set that LEGO has produced with 9,035 pieces. This dwarfs the LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75192) by almost 1,500 pieces.

Light Brick Studio Branches Out from LEGO Ventures

November 4, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has been investing in a lot of gaming lately and it bodes well for the community. Last week, they announced that they are working with Unity for a new LEGO Microgame which you can create your own game using virtual bricks. Yesterday, VentureBeat reported that a game development studio called Light Brick Studio is now a independent company and is also supported by LEGO Ventures.

Light Brick Studio previously created Builder’s Journey for Apple Arcade and was released back in December 2019. The studio is now free to create to create games for LEGO as well as for any external partners they choose. This gives Light Brick Studio a lot leeway on what they are able to work on. I’m interested in seeing what will come of this and if they will expand beyond Apple Arcade since not many people are on it.

One of the main things they are doing is that all LEGO employees will have 26 weeks paid childcare leave for new parents. There is also caregiver leave if you need to take off some time to look after family. LEGO is also offering life and total permanent disability insurance to everyone whether you work at the headquarters of at a LEGO Brand Store. All of this is part of their 2022 sustainability initiatives to improve life at work.

Last month, we reported that the San Diego Comic Con 2020 LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904) would be sold on Amazon and it indeed did go up for a short amount of time, most likely on accident. LEGO has updated their LEGO Shop landing page on Amazon and it does show the set as “Coming Soon” so we can probably expect it to actually go live soon. There have been a few rumors going around saying that the set will be available starting on Sunday, November 15 but we’ll see. It’ll be listed under the LEGO Star Wars category so keep an eye out over there. Note that, some LEGOLAND Discovery Centers have already been selling it at the physical locations.

LEGO Clarifies “Collaboration” with Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons

October 31, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO released some new LEGO DOTS patterns for Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. People started speculating if LEGO would be doing more with the Animal Crossing franchise and LEGO has released a statement about it. In short, no, LEGO won’t be doing anything much more than that with ACNH at this time. Keep in mind, there is a LEGO Ideas project that is in review and there’s a chance that it could be an official set in the future. Fingers crossed. Check out LEGO’s statement below.

Hi everyone –

You might have seen yesterday that we announced we were adding new LEGO DOTs patterns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I’ve been asked by our PR team to clarify that this isn’t a partnership or a collaboration with Nintendo – but rather LEGO DOTS tapping into ACNH, as other brands have done. We haven’t directly worked with Nintendo on this (I know it’s confusing).

We are working with Nintendo for LEGO Super Mario of course, but not for ACNH.

Hope that makes sense!

A few days ago, Amazon gave everyone a surprise and dropped the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Black Widow Taskmaster’s Ambush (77905) and many of you managed to pick one up in the few hours that it was live. If you signed up for the Amazon Treasure Truck, you may have seen the text come by and it said “get it early” from Treasure Truck. I believe there was a three day exclusivity through Amazon for the promotion and this most likely means there will probably be another release on November 1. Keep in mind, the previous San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusives were also released on the LEGO Shop so keep an eye out there as well.

Design Your Own LEGO City Set with LEGO Lab

October 28, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Lab is testing a new service over in Denmark that lets you design your own LEGO City set. Here you can choose from a selection of minifigures, vehicles, buildings, and animals to put in the set. When you’re done with the selections, you can checkout normally on the LEGO Shop and LEGO will ship it out to you. The price is fixed at 649 kr. It looks like you’ll get a customized box with what you’ve chosen as well as your name on the bottom right corner.

I’m not sure if or when LEGO will roll it out to other countries but it seems like a cool idea to make your own set albeit with limited options. Hopefully they’ll get enough feedback to allow more options in the future.

To use LEGO Lab, you have to be in Denmark or VPN to it. The images below are from Brickset since I don’t use any VPNs.

The LEGO DC 1989 Batwing (76161) is now available for purchase for VIP members and LEGO has also released the designer video for the set. Designer Adam Grabowski talks about the details of the set and one neat fact is that the set uses every wing piece currently used in production. He also demonstrates the hanging feature that is included in the Batwing. Another neat fact is that the Batwing was already being designed when the 1989 Batmobile (76139) designer video was released last year. Check out my review of the set here.

There will be products for various sports and active lifestyles for both kids and adults. It is said that the partnership will also cross into different LEGO themes so this could suggest that we could get some sports sets again. Check out the press release below.

The LEGO Group Doesn’t Support JK Rowling’s Views

October 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Harry Potter theme has been extremely popular in the LEGO community but there has also been backlash with the creator of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, regarding things she have said on social media. Fan on social media have asked if JK Rowling has any influence on the LEGO Harry Potter sets which in turn could turn off fans from purchasing any if she does. LEGO’s PR Department has given a response for this issue which you can see below.

There is no place for discrimination in our society. Our mission is to inspire the builders of tomorrow, and that includes inspiring them to be empathetic, kind and inclusive both through our products and our learning through play programmes.

Our partnership to create Wizarding World sets is with Warner Bros, not JK Rowling. Warner Brothers receives the royalty fees from the sales of LEGO Harry Potter sets. You will need to contact Warner Brothers directly to ask them how they distribute these funds.

Since Diversity and Inclusion are a focus for us, we also work with non-profit organisations that support LGBTQ+ children. In Connecticut we have donated to TRUE COLORS, a non-profit organisation that works with social service agencies, schools, organisations and within communities to ensure that the needs of sexual and gender minority youth are both recognised and competently met.

UK we are also working with Diversity Role Models, an organisation that helps to educate all children about the importance of inclusion and empathy for all.; and Albert Kennedy Trust, an organisation that provides

How to Check if You’ve Won the LEGO DC Fandome Supergirl Minifigure

October 17, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I mentioned that the LEGO DC Fandome Supergirl was shipping out to winners and we finally have some details to see if you’ve actually won. I’ve been told that the minifigures are shipping out of Las Vegas, Nevada. One easy way to check to see if you have a package coming is to use USPS Informed Delivery. This service is free and it’ll let you see mail and packages that are coming in the mail and their expected delivery dates. For Supergirl, you’ll get a package from a place called SHIPPO which is a shipping software that DC used to mail out the minifigure. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up but I’ve been told by a few people that this is a way to check if you’ve won.

LEGO Vidiyo – LEGO/UMG Partnership Theme Rumored Details

October 15, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Way back in April, LEGO announced a new partnership with Universal Music Group for new products coming out next year. There are now rumors that the theme will be called LEGO Vidiyo and these sets will be centered around creating music videos.

These sets will feature cube style boxes with music-type minifigures or minidolls. The sets will have printed 2×2 album cover tiles that can be scanned using your phone to reveal a whole interactive experience such as playing music, adding visual effects, and creating music videos.

The LEGO Vidiyo sets are reported to be released in March and the sets are priced at €19.99 with an accessory set priced at €4.99.

This new theme sounds pretty interesting and I’m intrigued to see how they all turn out. As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

A few weeks ago, it was discovered that there were two more LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusives, one of which is the LEGO Star Wars Nebulon-B Frigate (77904). Thanks to Jeremy at The Holo-Brick Archives, we now know where the set will be sold at.

The set will retail for $39.99 like with the other SDCC 2020 exclusives but there’s no word on when it will be available for pre-order/purchase.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored to be Reducing Characters to 12

October 10, 2020 / / 0 Comments

A few months ago, a source told me that the next series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be changing and there’s some more fire to that rumor. Starting in Jaunary with Series 21 (71029), the number of minifigures included in the set is rumored to be dropping down to only 12 and it looks like StoneWars has also gotten wind of it as well. I’m not sure why the decrease of minifigs for the set but they’ll be somewhat easier to collect.

StoneWars also is reporting that LEGO will be offering full boxes of 36 minifigures as well as 72 minifigures. If you notice the numbers, these new boxes will hold three and six complete sets, respectively. The pricing will stay the same at $4.99 each.

What do you guys think of this change? Is it better that we’re getting less minifigures and not paying as much to get a complete set? As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop.

It was announced a few days ago that the New York Toy Fair for 2021 has been pushed back to May. It was supposed to be in February but due to uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Toy Association thought it was best to delay the event for a few more months.

New York Toy Fair is usually the time when we see some of the new LEGO sets for the upcoming summer. LEGO changed that last year as we didn’t really see much new products but only for a select few. With everything that’s been going on, I have a feeling that LEGO will do something similar and possibly doing their own reveals due to the shifted timeline.
