LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
For today only, LEGO Stores are celebrating April Fool’s Day with a special The LEGO Batman Movie poster giveaway. Head to the store and tell a Brick Specialist the secret password of “Batman Smells” and you can get a free Joker character poster, while supplies last. This is the only way to get the Joker poster and it is not valid online.
Thanks to Justin for the heads up.
There’s a point in time where you have to take a step back and see where you are in life and at this point, I’ve decided to expand The Brick Fan. A few people have asked me whether I would do this or not but I think it’s about time that I do so. I’ve decided to go ahead and also review LEPIN sets.
We’ve all seen a company called LEPIN which many call a knockoff company. Essentially, they take official LEGO sets and make bootleg sets out of them with subpar plastics. There aren’t that many reviewers of LEPIN sets and I feel that I should take this opportunity to test them out and let the public know how I feel about them. I’ve set up a website called The LEPIN Fan for my the reviews and I encourage you to head on over and check it out.

If you are going to Star Wars Celebration next week, here’s some news about the LEGO lottery they are holding for a chance to purchase the exclusives. A reader over on our Facebook Page has let us know about the rules on getting in on the LEGO exclusives at the convention.
LEGO doesn’t do many exclusives for Star Wars Celebration but for this year, they will have something in store for attendees. There’s no word yet on what the exclusives will be but I assume we’ll hear something soon.
To get in on the exclusives, you must have a ticket to Star Wars Celebration itself, then you must fill out a form to get into a lottery for a chance to purchase them. Check out the full rules of the lottery below.
… ContinueParticipation in this process is REQUIRED in order to win a priority ticket with a reserved time to visit the LEGO booth at Star Wars Celebration Orlando. The lottery process will close at 12:01 AM EST on April 6. All winners will be notified by April 7 of the date and time that they can line up at the LEGO booth.
The LEGO booth will open to the public each day AFTER the ticketed sessions (approximately 4:00 PM Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun) if there is remaining inventory available. The only way to get a ticket to the first sessions of the day is to enter the lottery!
Sessions for all days of Celebration:
