General Mills LEGO Racers Throwback Thursday Review

March 19, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today, I sort of have a Throwback Thursday kind of set to review. It’s not something that I do regularly or plan to but since the LEGO news is kinda slow, I thought it would be kinda cool to take a look back on this. I was rummaging through my garage and I found these small LEGO Racers sets which were from a 2009 General Mills promotion where a random Racer was inserted into boxes of Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Lucky Charms, Trix, or Cookie Crisp. I haven’t eaten any cereal in years so I’m not exactly sure how I acquired them since I didn’t return from the Dark Ages until late 2011 but they were in my pile of toys that were packed up.

Anyways, there are six LEGO Racers to collect and theu are pretty simple to build as there are just three parts to connect together, the top, chassis, and wheels. The Racers are 2×8 long and yes, they are compatible with any other LEGO brick. The top of the cars have two studs where you can attach minifigures to if you so desire. The wheels are made from the metal axles and they roll very smoothly.

As you can see, I have three of these Racers, the blue 4×4 truck, an orange race car, and a yellow and red one. I’m not sure if the cars are based on real-life cars but I did find out the yellow one is based on Clint Bowyer’s NASCAR vehicle with the number 33 and Cheerios … Continue

Papercutz has lost their licence with The LEGO Group to produce graphic novels based on various themes including LEGO Ninjago and LEGO BIONICLE. The license now goes to Little, Brown which will start releasing new graphic novels late 2015. Papercutz has until the end of the year for Ninjago and BIONICLE and mid-2016 for LEGO Legends of Chima.

Starting this holiday season, there will be books released by Little, Brown based on Ninjago, BIONICLE, and Friends but we’ll get to see previews of them at San Diego Comic Con 2015 which they will have a “major presence” at the event. I’ll be at SDCC again this year so I’ll go check out and see what they have in store.

The Culture Show LEGO Documentary – The Building Blocks of Architecture

March 18, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I always like watching LEGO documentary shows and while during my downtime this week, I came across BBC 2’s The Culture Show episode on YouTube about the company called “LEGO – The Building Blocks of Architecture.” It was released last year but I just recently came across it. The show talks about some of the history of LEGO and how it has impacted our culture from an architecture standpoint. If you have 30 minutes to spare, check out the episode below.

LEGO The Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures (71009) Feel Guide

LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 (71009)

Now that the LEGO The Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures (71009) have been officially revealed, it’s time to do our best to help you guys figure out which minifigures are in each packet with this handy feel guide. Although this wave of LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures has lots of new characters for you to find, they seem to be a little harder to feel than the first series given the assortment of parts that are available with the characters.

The LEGO The Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures (71009) will be available on May 1st but as usual, some retailers like Toys R Us, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target will probably be selling them mid-to-late April.

1. Homer

You would think that the 2×2 tile would be an easy giveaway to finding Homer but think again since there are five other characters that have a similar part. His round head is the thing you should be feeling for while confirming with the tile piece.

2. Marge

Marge should be fairly easy to find with her long, distinct head/hair piece.

3. Lisa

Lisa’s cat, Snowball II, would be the easiest thing to feel for since her head piece is really similar to Maggie’s.

4. Maggie

Maggie’s head is almost identical to Lisa’s so you should be feeling for Santa’s Little Helper. Her body is also a good indicator because it is just one piece that is uniquely shaped.

5. Bartman

Bartman is really easy to find with his spiky head piece. The slingshot is also helpful.

6. Fallout Boy

Fallout Boy … Continue

LEGO Jurassic World Video Game Gameplay Details

March 16, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been LEGO Jurassic World Video Game centric here at The Brick Fan the past two days or so. There are now some gameplay details of it courtesy of Game Informer as they already got their hands on a demo version.

One of the details of LEGO Jurassic World is that there are over 100 playable characters. You get your main cast members from the first movie such as Alan Grant who can build objects from the environment, Ian Malcolm who can toss flares, Ellie Sttler who finds clues by jumping into dinosaur dropping, and Lex who can break glass. The most interesting character to note from GI is that Mr. DNA is also playable. What are his abilities? I don’t know but I sure hope that Greg Burson’s voiceover will be used.

As from the game description we have, you can customize your dinosaur collection by collecting LEGO amber to create new ones. It was noted that there are over 1,000 combinations that you can create, not including color and skin variations.

Some may wonder if LEGO Jurassic World will be as violent as in the movies. TT Games has proven that they can put a humorous twist to what are supposed to be violent scenes. One example is from the trailer the Muldoon scene where he is being hunted. The raptor pops up with fruit on its head. Another scene that has a playful feel to it is during the famous T-Rex scene when the power went out at the park and it causes … Continue
