LEGO Teases “A Big Reveal” for Tomorrow on Instagram

January 18, 2019 / / 0 Comments

LEGO Instagram Story Teaser Reveal

If you follow LEGO on Instagram, you may have seen that they did teaser on their Instagram Story for some sort of reveal tomorrow. The caption says “A *Big* Reveal! ” with the countdown time set for tomorrow morning. I literally don’t know what this reveal is about and it’s the first time I’ve heard about it. Usually recognized LEGO fan media sites are informed early about their upcoming product reveals but I haven’t gotten anything about whatever this teaser is about. My guess is it will be the review results of the LEGO Ideas Second 2018 projects since they did the announcement for the Second 2017 results around the same time last year. What do you guys think this reveal will be? Sound off in the comments below.

**Update: Check out the announcement here.**

LEGO Masters

If you haven’t heard about it before, LEGO Masters is a hit TV show over in the UK that is basically a building competition show for AFOLs. It has been announced today that it will be coming here to the United States. UK-based independent production company Tuesday’s Child is teaming up with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment to produce the US version of the show. There’s no details of when it will air but it’s exciting to see the show here. Which AFOLs could we expect to see?

BRINGING U.K. SMASH HIT “LEGO® MASTERS” TO U.S. WITH BRAD PITT’S PLAN B ENTERTAINMENT

Conversations Starting with U.S.-based Platforms

The production companies are set to start conversations with potential American-based platforms later this month.

Originally created by Tuesday’s Child, “LEGO MASTERS” first launched on Channel 4 in the U.K. in 2017, quickly becoming the network’s highest-rated new series, nearly doubling its primetime average with young adults. Since then, “LEGO MASTERS” was renewed by Channel 4 and local versions of the successful format have begun launching around the world.

Along with Plan B Entertainment, Sharon Levy, DJ Nurre and Michael Heyerman will serve as executive producers for Endemol Shine North America, Karen Smith and Steph Harris will serve as executive producers for Tuesday’s Child and Jill Wilfert and

The Brick Fan 2018 Recap

January 1, 2019 / / 0 Comments

It’s another year in the books and we are now finally able to take a look at the 2018 website traffic and changes on The Brick Fan. You may or may not have noticed, we made some major changes to the site during the summer and fall. We changed hosting companies which resulted in better stability and we also changed the website theme. It may not look that much different from the one we have when we first started the site back in 2012 but it is much smoother and has additional functionality.

As a result as far as numbers are concerned, we ended 2018 with 14,847,830 pages views and that is a whopping 63% increase in traffic from 2017. Everything across the board increased which you can see below.

In June, we spiked in traffic probably due to some behind-the-scenes things I was working on and in September, we rolled out the new layout. Our highest traffic day was on November 22 with 82,568 views. That was the day that images of the January 2019 sets started coming out.

Some other random high traffic days include:

– September 27: LEGO FORMA Theme Officially Announced

– October 10: LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987) Revealed

– October 22: LEGO Overwatch Official Images Found at Target

Finally, we finished with 886 posts for the year with 4,818 comments on those posts. Both counts are slightly down from 2017 but considering I was basically working three jobs at one period of time last year, that’s not too bad.… Continue
