It seemed that yesterday, I caused quite a stir with my post stating that I will be leaving my site at the end of the month. It seems that I couldn’t fool some of you guys. I am happy to announce that I will not be leaving The Brick Fan and will be continuing what I’ve enjoyed doing for the past two years. To those who thought I was really leaving, I’m very sorry for pulling that joke on you. There were quite a few comments left on the post as well as on Facebook from a number of fans and I was touched that many of you really enjoy coming to the site. As a result of this joke, I will be doing another giveaway in the very near future! Stay tuned for that.
In other LEGO April Fool’s Day news, there were a quite a few sites in the community that also did their own thing. If I missed anything, let me know in the comments and I’ll add it to the list below.

Toys N Bricks announced that they were going to be focusing on other construction toy companies.
Brickset announced that they were acquired by Mattel and Huw would replace LEGO products in the database with Mega Bloks. Brickset also reported that The LEGO Group announced a 10 year brand strategy for LEGO City sets on real-life events.

Woah! You made me cry! Your post on 1. April was that realistic 😀
I am glad it was just an April Fools Day joke. I mean, it would have stunk had you left. I always zip by here at least once a day.
And Brickipedia did nothing. 😀
Unfortunately. :/
At least you didn’t sell out to Mattel like Brickset.
I don’t comment on here ever but I check your site every single day. I got really sad that you would be leaving and now I just want to hit you in the face. I’m glad you’re staying around!
Yeah you couldn’t fool me Allen. I knew you weren’t going anywhere. >:P
I think your favicon is still the sad minifigure head instead of the normal smiling one. 😛
