If you’ve been following LEGO Senior Designer Marcos Bessa on social media, you would know that he has a very interesting life inside and outside of The LEGO Group. Within the company he’s designed many popular LEGO sets from the SHIELD Helicarrier (76042) to the most recent Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827) and many more in between. Outside of the company, he’s very passionate about music and recently, he has appeared on Denmark’s version of the Got Talent series and has been very impressive not only with the audience but with the judges as well. Check out some of his performances below.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens DK Level 2 Reader

A few weeks ago, we got details of the summer 2016 wave of LEGO Star Wars sets from the London Toy Fair but images weren’t allowed for the sets for either London or Nuremberg. However there’s an image of what appears to be part of the Encounter on Jakku (75148) set which comes from an Amazon listing for the DK LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Level 2 Reader. The image shows some of the Niima Outpost along with a clear shot of the Unkar Plutt, Rey, and BB-8 minifigures. The set also includes Teedo and a brick-built Luggabeast that is not shown in the preview images of the book. I’m not sure if the image will be taken down or not but check it out below while you can.

Thanks to Emily V. for emailing this in earlier today.

There hasn’t been much LEGO t-shirts available lately but Ript Apparel has a very cool LEGO Voltron minifigure shirt available for 24 hours. The shirt starts at $11 and there are other items available with the design as well including hoodies, posters, coasters, and more. Shipping and handling starts at $2.98 here in the US and is planned to ship out this Friday. As a big fan of the original Voltron series back in the 80s, this shirt is a no-brainer purchase for me especially with the new Netflix series coming later this year as well.

As always, you can help support The Brick Fan buy purchasing the Voltron shirt using the links above.

February 8, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

The LEGO news has slowed down just a tad bit but there’s an interesting set that has popped up online recently. Bouwsteentjes.info has found a new Minifigure Wedding Favor Set (40165) that has shown up on eBay. This updated version of the set now includes a brick-built alter and a couple of the newer five-stem plants. The minifigures have also been updated as well with both the bride and groom having three different sets of hairs each with the male also having a top hat. There’s no information on the price for this 89 piece set but I have a feeling that it’ll be showing up at LEGO Brand Stores and on Shop@Home in the near future.
