BrickLink will do an internal review for the top ones and the final five designs will be announced in March.

As we can tell from the Series 3 sets, you don’t need to create huge sets to be selected as there can be smaller ones that can make the final cut as well.

A few years ago, LEGO announced that sets will be having paper bags for packaging and so far there have been various sets that have achieved that. They have just released a behind the scenes video of the manufacturing process from the factory showing LEGO bricks being packaged in the bags. Europe and Asia have already had sets with the paper bags and the Americas will be coming soon.

It took a while but I’ve finally had some time to do a 2023 recap for The Brick Fan. Some of you guys might not be interested but it’s for my reference since I love stats.

Our post count went down again last year, down to 885, however, we almost hit the 30 million page view mark. We barely missed it by just 100,000 views which sounds about right since we had less posts. Last year, it was more family time for me as I was taking care of my mom more after her cancer surgery and I prioritized that a little more than what happened LEGO-wise. I expect that’ll be about the same this year as well.

The highest traffic day was on May 1 with 251,277 page views when a lot of the summer 2023 sets were revealed that day. The higher traffic trend continued for the next seven days with over 100k views each day.

Unique visits and returning visits were also down due to me posting less which is understandable. Some days were just low volume postings simply because there was no LEGO news to cover. I didn’t want to post just to post unlike some of the more prolific sites. We should be hitting the 200 million page view mark early this year so that’ll be something to celebrate.

Last night was the finale of LEGO Masters Season 4 and we now have two new LEGO Masters as well as the set that will be made into an official LEGO set in the future. If you didn’t know, the winners will be flown to Billund to meet with LEGO designers with the winning build be turned into a new set. Before you read on, there are spoilers if you didn’t watch the show.

The team of Christopher (DuckBbricks) and Robert are your newest LEGO Masters and their 8ft by 8ft build of the World Wonderliner will be displayed at the flagship LEGO Store in New York. Their build features a plane with three core icons of their most memorable travel experiences which include the Kenyan baobab tree, the Forbidden City, and the Colosseum.

The release of the set won’t be out for at least another year or two but expect it to be scaled down to a more reasonable price. Since there’s a lot of details in the final build, it’ll probably come in at a few thousand pieces.
