Few Days Left for LEGO Icons Retro Food Truck (40681) GWP

January 15, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

There’s only a couple of days left to get your orders in for the LEGO Icons Retro Food Truck (40681). The promotion ends tomorrow night but you can still get it with purchases of $190 or more online or in stores. LEGO will most likely start a new promotion in the next few days however we can’t confirm it yet because they don’t like to announce GWPs ahead of time now. My guess is it’ll be the LEGO Year of the Dragon (40611) since the Lunar New Year is about three weeks away.

Amazon has put up the product listing for the new LEGO Marvel Character Encyclopedia which will be releasing in October. The book will go in-depth of over 200 LEGO Marvel minifigures and will also include an exclusive one with this book. From the looks of the silhouette, it looks to be another Iron Man variant minifigure. You can pre-order it today and get the price guarantee.

This is only the second LEGO Marvel book with the other being the Visual Dictionary from last year which also had an Iron Man minifigure.

Meet more than 200 minifigures from the LEGO(R) Marvel world – plus an exclusive minifigure for your collection!

Get the lowdown on Marvel’s magnificent Superheroes, including Spider-Man(TM), Scarlet Witch(TM), Black Panther(TM), and face up to their fiendish foes, including Green Goblin, Red Skull, and Doctor Doom.

Marvel’s fan-favorite Superheroes and Super Villains jostle for attention with rarer – but equally fascinating – minifigures in the LEGO Marvel Character Encyclopedia. It’s the perfect handbook for fans of the LEGO Marvel world.

LEGO Ideas Red London Telephone Box Teaser

January 14, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a teaser on their social media for an upcoming LEGO Ideas set. The image features a suitcase filled with stickers filled with things related to the UK and some red bricks on the table with a small phone. The caption also reads “Unpacking soon. Any…Ideas.” My guess is that it will be the Red London Telephone Box which was one of the winners of the LEGO Ideas Second 2022 Review Stage. The official reveal of the set should be coming very soon.

The 2024 Lunar New Year is exactly four weeks away and Amazon has the LEGO Lunar New Year Display (80110) for 20% off. It’s been on sale for a while but this set has a generic style that will work for every new year and not for any specific zodiac sign. The set has officially been retired on the LEGO Shop so going to other retailers is the only way to get it now.

The Brick Fan 2023 Recap

January 13, 2024 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It took a while but I’ve finally had some time to do a 2023 recap for The Brick Fan. Some of you guys might not be interested but it’s for my reference since I love stats.

Our post count went down again last year, down to 885, however, we almost hit the 30 million page view mark. We barely missed it by just 100,000 views which sounds about right since we had less posts. Last year, it was more family time for me as I was taking care of my mom more after her cancer surgery and I prioritized that a little more than what happened LEGO-wise. I expect that’ll be about the same this year as well.

The highest traffic day was on May 1 with 251,277 page views when a lot of the summer 2023 sets were revealed that day. The higher traffic trend continued for the next seven days with over 100k views each day.

Unique visits and returning visits were also down due to me posting less which is understandable. Some days were just low volume postings simply because there was no LEGO news to cover. I didn’t want to post just to post unlike some of the more prolific sites. We should be hitting the 200 million page view mark early this year so that’ll be something to celebrate.

Our social media accounts are just chugging along with some small increases in followers. Again, the numbers could grow a lot more but I don’t advertise too much for them. I could … Continue

Minerals Display by ddf72 is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build is a revamp of the minerals project that also reached the goal a few years ago but is now 100% buildable with parts that have been released since then.
