LEGO Ninjago The Golden Dragon (70503) Review

January 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Ninjago The Golden Dragon (70503) is mostly taken from a scene in the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu tv series episode Island of Darkness where all the Ninjas go to find the Temple of Light. Here is where they all are transformed into their final outfits including Lloyd Garmadon who becomes the Golden Ninja and summons the Golden Dragon. This set contains 252 pieces and retails for $29.99, a $0.12/piece ratio. The box comes with one instruction booklet, three numbered bags, and one un-numbered bag with the dragon head.

LEGO Legends of Chima Video Games in 2013

January 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

With the recent arrival of the Legends of Chima sets, LEGO isn’t done pushing their newly established original property. They, along with Warner and TT Games, have announced three video games based on the world of Chima and will be releasing them across various platforms in 2013.

First is a racing mini-game called LEGO Legends of Chima: Speedorz that is already available on LEGO.com today (although I can’t find it anywhere yet) and on the iOS on January 3rd. Players will be racing characters from Chima through many locations in world of Chima collecting items to power up their vehicles and unlocking more content.

The second game coming out is called LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey. This looks to be a game coming out for various handheld systems including the Nintendo 3DS, PS Vista, and the Nintendo DS. The main character will most likely be Laval and his allies will be having an adventure in the world of Chima. The Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita versions will be released in Summer 2013 while the Nintendo DS will be available in Fall 2013.

The final game being released this year revolving around the world of Chima is LEGO Legends of Chima Online. This is a free-to-play online game that allows players to create and customize their kingdom in Chima. Players can also explore the world as well as taking on missions for rewards. We’re not sure if this is a just single player game or a MMO style game.

LEGO Creator Year of the Snake (10250) Confirmed

January 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It has been revealed that there will be a new Creator set in 2013, the Year of the Snake (10250). On the Lunar Calendar, 2013 is the snake year for the Chinese zodiac, which starts on February 10. This set is probably exclusive to China but that is not confirmed as of this writing. As a Chinese person, I want to get my hands on one of these sets but may have to pay a pretty premium for it. You can download the instructions for the build here.

End of 2012 Updates at The Brick Fan

January 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

After coming out of the “Dark Ages” in late 2011, I decided to start a blog just writing about the LEGO sets that I purchase but under a different URL. There were some complications with the URL so I had to change the blog name. On January 18, 2012, The Brick Fan URL officially went live. The site started off slow with very small traffic coming through, like all beginning sites do. We decided to shift our focus from reviewing just what we purchased to more general news in addition to reviews. It wasn’t until San Diego Comic Con 2012 when the site started to pick up and an uptrend of traffic ever since.

We’ve had a great year in 2012 on the blog, much more than I’ve ever expected. The site had 589,000 pageviews from 377,000 unique visits. All of this would not have happened without our loyal readers and we thank you. We’ve also had the pleasure to connect with a lot of amazing people in the LEGO community.

So what does this all mean? It means that we have bigger visions for next year and in the future. We have some things that we plan on rolling out, which some of you might be excited to see. We would also like your suggestions on how to improve the site such as what you like to see more or less of. Just fill out our contact form and give us your suggestions.

We’re looking forward to see what happens in 2013 with all the … Continue
