The LEGO Movie 2 Justice League TV Spot

January 2, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few days ago, Warner Bros. released a new Justice League TV spot for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. It featured every character from the Justice League in their tradional outfits, besides Aquaman who got the Jason Momoa treatment. Although she didn’t have a speaking line in the spot, it has been reported that Gal Gadot will be voicing Wonder Woman. This makes two of the DCEU actors that will be in the movie joining Momoa. We already know that Jonah Hill will be returning as Green Lantern and I’m assuming that Channing Tatum will be Superman once again.

We’ve been covering a lot of news for The LEGO Movie 2 so far but stay tuned as there will be a lot more in the coming weeks ahead.

There’s a new exclusive LEGO set that has started showing up at LEGOLAND parks called the Driving School (40347). It has 209 pieces and it is basically a miniature version of the actual driving school kids can participate in at LEGOLAND parks around the world. The set has four minifigures and two cars along with some traffic signs and mini builds. Thanks to Dennis for sending the images over.

The LEGO Movie 2 McDonald’s Happy Meal Toys Coming Soon

McDonald’s has updated their Happy Meal site and it has revealed that The LEGO Movie 2 will be getting some Happy Meal toys next month. There’s no word on what it is but unless something drastic has changed, there will be no actual LEGO sets or minifigures included. If you remember from the first movie, we got some collectible cups featuring some of the characters.

Thanks to Danny for the heads up!

The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) Box Art & Packaging

January 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

An image of The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) were revealed yesterday and now, an German online retailer has posted the box art and packaging for the set. If you look closely, do you see something different? If you guessed the packaging, you are correct. This new TLM2 minifigure series will be using similar packaging as the Unikitty Collectible Series (41775) which is slightly taller and the parts are in a bag inside another bag. This change could make feeling for a partiuclar minifigure somewhat more difficult as there is another layer of protection to go through. Some of the larger minifigures with unique pieces like the crayon, giraffe, and watermelon will still be easy to find but some characters will smaller parts will be a bit harder. What do you think of this small yet big change? Let us know in the comments below.

LEGO Toy Story 4 Sets Confirmed for 2019

January 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The European 2019 catalogs for the first half of the year are now available and they have confirmed there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4 sets coming. According to the Spanish catalog, there will be some LEGO Toy Story 4+ sets and the English version confirms there will be a LEGO DUPLO Toy Story set. Rumor has it that it is a train set with Buzz Lightyear and Woody. Since the movie comes out in June, the 4+ and DUPLO sets will probably come out in May.

The Brick Fan 2018 Recap

January 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s another year in the books and we are now finally able to take a look at the 2018 website traffic and changes on The Brick Fan. You may or may not have noticed, we made some major changes to the site during the summer and fall. We changed hosting companies which resulted in better stability and we also changed the website theme. It may not look that much different from the one we have when we first started the site back in 2012 but it is much smoother and has additional functionality.

As a result as far as numbers are concerned, we ended 2018 with 14,847,830 pages views and that is a whopping 63% increase in traffic from 2017. Everything across the board increased which you can see below.

In June, we spiked in traffic probably due to some behind-the-scenes things I was working on and in September, we rolled out the new layout. Our highest traffic day was on November 22 with 82,568 views. That was the day that images of the January 2019 sets started coming out.

Some other random high traffic days include:

– September 27: LEGO FORMA Theme Officially Announced

– October 10: LEGO Overwatch Omnic Bastion (75987) Revealed

– October 22: LEGO Overwatch Official Images Found at Target

Finally, we finished with 886 posts for the year with 4,818 comments on those posts. Both counts are slightly down from 2017 but considering I was basically working three jobs at one period of time last year, that’s not too bad.… Continue
