2017 is now over and that means we can now take a look at the website traffic here on The Brick Fan as well as other miscellaneous stats. We ended the year at 9,081,785 page views which is a 3% drop from 2016 while unique visits went down 4%.
As for the numbers per month, we averaged about 756,000 page views per month with January being the busiest month due to the Toy Fair news. This year’s Toy Fairs will be at the end of the month so I expect traffic will spike in February instead of January. Our highest recorded day was February 18 as we hit just under 60,000 page views for the New York Toy Fair coverage.
Some other random high traffic days include:
– January 3: New Rumors of LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon Coming
– April 22: LEGO Creator Fairground Carousel (10256) Rumored for June Release
– May 1: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Thor: Ragnarok Box Art Images
– August 31: LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (75192) Officially Announced
For our social media pages, we didn’t really grow that much in terms of followers for some of the traditional sites like Facebook and Twitter.

For Facebook, we ended the year at 12,936 likes (14% increase from 2016) while on Twitter, we had 7,343 followers (8% increase).
As for Instagram, we actually ended right at 10,000 … Continue

Available from January 1-14 with purchases of $35 or more, while supplies last.
As 2017 is coming to an end, it’s time to take a look at some of the top viewed posts here on The Brick Fan. As of today, there were 888 posts that were published since January 1 and a lot of views. Here are the most viewed posts on the site according to Google Analytics.
It was an exciting time in February when we were able to see images of the summer 2017 LEGO sets from various themes which was more than what we saw at the Nuremberg Toy Fair a few weeks earler.
Back in April, new rumors came out for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) in which I talked about some of the minifigures that would eventually be in the set.
The LEGO Batman Movie was released earlier this year and McDonalds teamed up with Warner Bros. to produce some Happy Meal toys for the movie. Some of the items were good like the cups but the other items weren’t as good.
The official images for LEGO City must’ve been pretty popular during the summer as this was the only theme to crack the top 10 list. As we know by now, the main subtheme for this year’s summer wave was the Jungle Exploration.
