LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
LEGO has released a teaser for the upcoming LEGO Ideas International Space Station (21321) with the reveal coming some time tomorrow. The teaser doesn’t show much as far as the ISS itself but it does show a nanofigure of an astronaut. If you’ve been following me, I did a post for a signing event in Germany next week and the flyer showing off the set. We’ll have high quality images during the official reveal.
LEGO has closed the LE GOURMET restaurant at the LEGO House and will introducing a new food concept in which you can name the restaurant.

2019 was a huge success in LEGO® House, reaching no less than 281,786 paying guests and thus a 15% growth compared to 2018. But this success comes with a cost, says Managing Director Jesper Vilstrup:
“We are really proud that we in 2019 exceeded our expectations for the number of guests in both the Experience Zones and in the public area of LEGO Square. But unfortunately having this many guests means that we cannot provide the dining experience we would like to in our eateries – the capacity is simply too low. And that applies both to the kitchen and in the restaurant areas.”
Therefore, management has made the decision to close the fine-dining restaurant, LE GOURMET, and the restaurant will therefore not open with the rest of the house after the winter close-down on January 18, 2020.
Jesper Vilstrup says:
“Closing LE GOURMET has been a difficult decision as we basically love the restaurant and the idea of having a great gourmet restaurant in Billund. On the other hand, it is no secret that it has been difficult to attract a continuous flow of guests into the restaurant. And when you consider that we have capacity challenges for our dining LEGO House guests during the day, it ultimately makes sense to utilise the space better.”
Already in weeks 6 and 7,
I was working on a future LEGO project and I suddenly realized that The Brick Fan turns eight years old today. It’s been a long road going from just another site on the internet to a Recognized LEGO Fan Media site. All of that wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for you readers who frequent the site, whether be for one random post or if you’re a regular who visits every day.
I’ll still continue doing what I’ve been doing since I started this thing and that is to bring you LEGO news articles along with reviews and maybe throw in some editorials. Last year, we hit the most traffic we’ve had on the site so hopefully that trend continues this year.
Again, thank you everyone for visiting and for being a brick fan yourself.
The Tesla Cybertruck by BrickinNick is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. Late last year, Tesla revealed their new electric pickup truck and it’s something that many weren’t expecting. The details of the Cybertruck are minimal but it does have an opening hood and tailgate.
The project joins Mary Poppins, Cherry Tree Lane as the projects to reach the First 2020 Review Stage.
There are now official images of the LEGO BrickHeadz Sheep (40380) which will be released on February 1. It has 192 pieces and will retail for $9.99. The sheep is used for the Easter seasonal set which also includes some painted Easter eggs as well as a tulip.
Today is the product reveals for the upcoming Marvel Black Widow movie and there will be a LEGO set based on it. Yahoo has revealed Black Widow’s Helicopter Chase (76162) which has 271 pieces and will retail for $29.99. The set fatures minifigures of Black Widow, Yelena Belova, and Taskmasker. The set will be available starting on March 1.
We already know that The LEGO Movie 2 didn’t do that well in theaters last year but they did crank out some cool sets with some great parts. Rex’s Rex-treme Offroader (70826) is currently priced at $18.99 which is 37% off the regular price. You do get a dark blue raptor as well as a plethora of dark blue and lime green parts. I mean who doesn’t want more blue raptors. This sale price is the lowest the set has been at on Amazon.
