LEGO Ideas National Park Service Centennial Vignettes Achieves 10,000 Supporters

January 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Earlier today, the National Park Service Centennial Vignettes by LEGORanger16 has also achieved 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features small scenes on 10×16 plates which shows various US National Parks like the Everglades in Florida, Katmai in Alaska, and Saguaro in Arizona. This project seems to be a very educational set as it gets kids learning about some of the National Parks here in the US.

The National Park Service Centennial Vignettes is now in the Third 2015 Review Stage and joins other projects including Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, the Beatles Yellow Submarine, the HMS Beagle, Apollo 11 Saturn-V, and the Concorde Display Set as the ones vying to become an official LEGO set.

LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens The Finalizer (30277)

Polybag hunters, there are now images for some new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens polybags that will be coming out this year. The first one above is the First Order Star Destroyer, also called The Finalizer (30277). It has the same Resurgent-class Star Destroyer but it has some minor changes to it.

The other polybag is a miniature Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (30279). It’s pretty much a smaller version of set 75104.

Thanks to Joey for heads up.

LEGO Ideas Concorde Display Set Achieves 10,000 Supporters

January 3, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The Concorde Display Set by ABStract is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project is based on the famous British/French airliner which was known as one of the fastest jets in aviation history. It was eventually retired in 2003 due to safety and budget issues. The Concorde project itself has many features like a working nose droop mechanism and moveable control surfaces.

The Concorde Display Set barely squeaks in to the Third 2015 Review Stage and it joins the Jurassic Park Explorer, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Nautilus, the Toyota Landcruiser 40 Series, the Beatles Yellow Submarine, the HMS Beagle, and Apollo 11 Saturn-V as the projects that have a chance of becoming an official LEGO set if it passes the Review Stage.

LEGO Nexo Knights Intro Pack (5004388) Review

January 2, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

From now until January 10 with every purchase you make at LEGO Brand Stores or on Shop@Home, you’ll get a FREE LEGO Nexo Knights Intro Pack (5004388). If you haven’t gotten one yet, here’s a little sneak peek of what is included in this Intro Pack.

As you can see, there are a total of five items in the pack including a generic Lava Monster minifigure, a Shield holder key chain, a poster, and two sticker sheets, one with the Nexo Knights and the other with the Monsters.

For the Lava Monster minifigure, it looks like a combination of a couple of the monsters in this wave but this particular minifigure looks like it’s exclusive to this pack. Like with the other monsters, it has a red torso and wears some black pants with leg armor printing. It has a double-sided head and has a helmet to go along with him. However, there is no accessory.

The Shield holder key chain is the same one that all the Nexo Knights have in gray color. There is a gray 1×1 Technic brick with hole and a 1×1 round stud glued on to the shield itself. Finally there’s a little chain that you can attach it to whatever you want.

The poster is double sided and on one side, you have the promo image that we saw on the back of the LEGO Club Magazine back in October. On the other side, you have a cool image of the Monsters posing in front of a fire.… Continue

The Brick Fan 2015 Recap

January 1, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

Well 2015 is in the books and it was another successful year on The Brick Fan so let’s take a look at what happened last year. Prepare to be inundated with statistics so let’s do a little recap of some of the numbers for the site last year. As you can see from the graph below, we saw another increase in traffic last year which went up for about 60% compared to the 2014. Subsequently, other metrics increased accordingly including first-time visitors which went up 56% while returning visitors went up 70%.

There were also some traffic milestones that were achieved in 2015. We finished the year with 17.5 million page views with October 11 being the highest recorded traffic day with 105,085 page views with a majority of it being for the official 2016 images post. That day also gave the most of active number of users on the site with 779. Unless somehow a post goes viral, I doubt that I’ll see a number that high anytime soon. Finally, we ended the year with December being the most visited month of 2015.
