The Botanical Garden by Goannas is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The 2,989 piece build features a greenhouse with a neoclassical entrance facade. On the inside, there are a number of botanical species.

LEGO Year of the Rabbit (40575) Official Images

The official images of the upcoming LEGO Year of the Rabbit (40575) gift-with-purchase set are now available on the LEGO Shop. The promotion will run from January 15-25 with purchases of $85/€85/£80 online and in stores.

Like with the previous Chinese Zodiac animal sets, it will also include a red envelope as well. The front of it will have the same design as the box and the back has a yellow embossed printing of the rabbit.

If you’ve been collecting them, we’re getting pretty close to completing 12 animals as there are three left with the dragon, snake, and horse coming in the next few years.

The Brick Fan 2022 Recap

Like we previous years, we are back with a recap for The Brick Fan on what happened in 2022. I know some of you don’t read this but this is just for posterity.

Our post count went down to 912 from a previous 1,095 from 2021, however, 2022 was our highest traffic year with 32,039,740 page views. It’s not a huge increase from 2021 as it was only about 1% but we averaged more views per post which concludes that we didn’t need to post more to get the same amount of traffic. Makes me think of what traffic would be like if we had 100 posts a week, IYKYK.

The highest traffic day was on my birthday which coincidentally was also the same day as LEGO Con 2022 where LEGO revealed a lot of new sets that day. That was the previous record of the highest total ever on the site but that has since been broken a few days ago.

We had less returning visits but we did have more first time visits, possibly because of new fans that have joined the hobby in recent years. We crossed the 150 million page view mark and we should be hitting 200 million by the end of the year.


Our social media accounts have been growing slowly and I’m content on how they are growing. They could be better but I don’t advertise them too much or try to get people to follow.

Facebook – 25,979 followers (11% increase)
Twitter – 14,331 followers (19% increase)

LEGO Looking for Disney Toy Photography for Disney 100 Campaign

As part of the LEGO Disney 100 celebration, LEGO is looking to feature some AFOL toy photography of your Disney creations. They are looking for Disney moments recreated with LEGO or what Disney means to you expressed with LEGO bricks.

They have given a hint on what they are looking for so take that advice. The creations most likely to be featured will be those associated with Disney History, Disney Parks, and Disney animated films.

You can submit your responses using the form provided. They didn’t give a deadline but the earlier the better, I suppose. For the first question what AFOL Community you are a member of, you can use The Brick Fan if you’re not part of any LUG.

Throughout 2023 there will be AFOL toy photography featured to celebrate Disney 100. If you would like to submit your creation to be featured on official LEGO® brand channels and Disney channels, please fill out the information below.

The team is looking for Disney moments recreated with LEGO bricks or what Disney means to you created in LEGO bricks. The MOCs most likely to be featured will be those associated with Disney History, Disney Parks and Disney animated films.
