LEGO Ideas Holiday (Vacation) Build Contest for Future GWP Set

May 11, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has recently kicked off a new building contest on LEGO Ideas where the winning build will be turned into a future gift-with-purchase set. This is similar to the Moments in Space Space Rocket Ride (40335) from a few years back. The object is to build something that is related to a holiday which is the UK version of a vacation. The minimum amounts of bricks needed is 150 bricks and the max is 250. The grand prize winner will get a slew of great prizes but the best one is probably your build being an official LEGO set. The deadline to submit your entries is June 12 at 6am EST.

Your dream holiday… What does that look like? Is it enjoying a meal with friends and family? Is it exploring coral reefs in tropical waters? In this contest, we’re asking you to come up with a small model that helps turn that holiday into THAT holiday. It could be a rowing boat to go fishing in, a picnic bench to enjoy a BBQ with. Use your own holidays or your dream holidays as inspiration!

The only restrictions are that your model should be at most 250 bricks, with a minimum of 150 bricks.

Maybe research some holidays you dream of taking, and get building!

As the Grand Prize winner of this contest you will get the exclusive opportunity to have your model transformed into a new LEGO Gift with Purchase set. On top of that, you will also receive the following:

LEGO Ideas The Mountain Windmill Achieves 10,000 Supporters

May 11, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Mountain Windmill by Hanwasyellowfirst is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The build seems to be an original idea but it has a very The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild feel to it considering it is the same builder that has the BotW Stables project currently in review. It has 2,031 pieces and also includes two minifigures, the miller and village boy. This is the first project to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.

The Brick Fan at RLFM Days 2020

May 10, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The 2020 Recognized LEGO Fan Media Days is coming up at the end of the month and we here at The Brick Fan are lucky enough to be attending this event. Unfortunately due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, flying to Denmark is out of the question so LEGO will be holding online sessions for it. This is a new thing and there were limited spots for who we can interview and yesterday we got our choices. The themes that we are able to interview are:

• Minifigures (I assume this is for the Collectible Minifigures)
• Confidential New Product (Monkie Kid)
• Element Design
• LEGO Ideas

We’ll be asking the LEGO Designers from those themes and you guys also have an opportunity to ask questions as well. Keep in mind LEGO won’t answer any questions about future products. Leave your questions below or on any of our social media posts and we’ll pick out some of the best questions and send them along.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Release Date Reportedly to be October 20

May 9, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Earlier this week, TT Games and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment revealed a new key art for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. A few days after, Star Wars released a this week’s recap video and they also talked about the game. According to Reddit, they had to reupload the video due to them reportedly revealing the release date of the game on accident. The new video doesn’t show the date to be October 20 which has been clipped out but many fans noticed it.

In a recent interview, Lucasfilm Games managing producer Craig Derrick says there will be about 500 Star Wars characters in the game with a lot of them being playable ones. There’s not much more details about the game that were revealed in terms of gameplay. I’m guessing the details are being held off until video game announcement season later this summer. As we know by now, E3 has been cancelled as well as San Diego Comic Con so any new gameplay hopefully will be shown online at their discretion since we know absolutely nothing about it even after a year after being announced and if the game is to be released in October, we’ll most likely see more of it by then.
