Papercutz has lost their licence with The LEGO Group to produce graphic novels based on various themes including LEGO Ninjago
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.

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.
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

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
IGN is reporting of a rumor that LEGO will be working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Traveller’s Tales to release a toys-to-life game later this year. What does that mean? Think of Activision’s Skylanders, the Disney Infinity toys, and the Nintendo amiibo where you have physical toys that are projected to gameplay.
Last year, LEGO jumped to the digital world with the LEGO Fusion sets that combine bricks and apps that interact with the builds. Furthermore, the LEGO Ultra Agents
sets have the AppBricks that let you interact more with the apps. It looks like LEGO will be taking their quest to further leverage digitalization with the rumored toys-to-life game for later 2015.
A few days ago, I was contacted by a team member from TUG Agency on behalf of LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta for something new opening at that location. This weekend, March 21 and 22, the center is holding a grand opening of the new LEGO Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace Miniland Model Display. There will be activities held there including Build Like a Jedi, a 501st Legion Meet & Greet, and a Large-scale LEGO Star Wars Group Build. Purchase your tickets ahead of time to skip the wait.
