LEGO Overwatch Tracer Minifigure Revealed

October 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today must be a LEGO Overwatch kind of day because a short while after I reported on the Winston teaser, the Overwatch social media channels revealed a physical item from the upcoming sets. In the video, Papa Jeff Kaplan is shown building the Tracer minifigure which then comes alive as a stop-motion with Tracer’s voiceover. This is the first time we’ve seen an actual item from the set and Tracer joins a number of characters that are already confirmed to be in the sets including Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, McCree, and Winston. There are reports that there are at least six set (75970-75975) that are coming early next year.

As I mentioned before, we probably won’t be seeing anything coming out of New York Comic Con this week but we’ll most likely see more at Blizzcon in November. Which other characters do you want to see that haven’t been announced yet?

Build the perfect team, brick by brick.

LEGO Overwatch Winston Teaser

October 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s been a while since we talked about LEGO Overwatch but the minisite has been recently updated with a new splash image. This time it shows some bananas and peanut butter with the phrase “Imagination is the essence of discovery” and this means that our beloved Winston will be joining the LEGO Overwatch lineup. This is now the seventh confirmed character for the theme as he joins Widowmaker, Reinhardt, Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy, and McCree who were teased last month at Gamescom 2018. For his figure, I’m guessing LEGO will be using the same gorilla mold that they’ve been using the past few years but I’m interested to see how they will attach his jump pack.

New York Comic Con is this week however LEGO themselves won’t be attending as they’re not listed as one of the exhibitors at the event so we probably won’t see anything coming out of there. The best bet will be at Blizzcon 2018 in November.

The Brick Fan T-Shirt Now Available on Teespring

October 1, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Quite a few of you readers have asked for this and if you follow my Twitter or Instagram, you may have seen a teaser for this a few days ago. After six years of running the site, I have officially launched my first piece of merchandise for The Brick Fan with a t-shirt over on Teespring. I’ve always felt reluctant to selling stuff for my site but I felt this was a good time as any to sell a t-shirt. I’ve priced it at $14.99 for the US and £12.99 for the EU and there are a number of different colors you are able to choose from. I’ve already ordered three shirts for myself before I launched this campaign to test out the shirts and they actually feel pretty good.

I’ve added a new “Merchandise” tab on the top of the menu to access the Teespring storefront so you can go there any time if you want to get a shirt or you can go there directly with this link. For now, I just have the shirt available but if you want any additional items, leave it in the comments below and I may decide to add them later on in the future.

As always, I do appreciate everyone who reads this site and I’ve had a great time putting out posts for you on a daily basis (most of the time). You do not have to purchase a shirt if you don’t want to but any purchases go back towards the site … Continue
