LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom Animated Special Coming in 2019

October 7, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Marvel just announced at New York Comic Con 2018, there will be a new animated LEGO special called LEGO Marvel Spider-Man: Vexed by Venom that will be airing next year. The synopsis of the animated special is:

[su_quote]Tech theft is at an all-time high thanks to Green Goblin & Venom… So can our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man put an end to their mysterious villainous scheme before all of New York City is destroyed?[/su_quote]

Some of the voice actors that will be in the show include Robbie Daymond as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Ben Pronsky as Venom, Josh Keaton as Green Goblin, Laura Bailey as Ghost-Spider/Gwen Stacy, and Tara Strong as Mary Jane.

There will be a LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that called Spider-Man Mech vs. Venom Mech (76115) that will include some of these characters but I’m not sure if it is tied to the animated special or not.

More LEGO Jurassic World Sets Coming in 2019

October 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Universal has announced their plans for Jurassic World for 2019 and it has been revealed that there will be more LEGO Jurassic World sets as well as an animated show coming soon. I’m curious to see what other sets could be produced for Jurassic World as the Fallen Kingdom sets have covered almost everything from the second film.

The animated LEGO Jurassic World short will probably air on Cartoon Network or LEGO could release it on home media which potentially could have an exclusive minifigure but I won’t hold my breath on that. The short will be airing by the end of the year.

Thanks to anonymous for the heads up!

Two Projects Pass LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review Stage

October 4, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The results of the LEGO Ideas First 2018 Review are in and LEGO has announced that, not one, but two projects will become official sets next year. The first set is the Treehouse by Kevin Feeser which looks great in its own right. I’m curious to see how big it’ll actually be considering the project had 2,643 pieces.

The other project that passed is actually a surprise and it is The Flintstones by Andrew Clark. I’ve seen the project in person when I was at Philly Brick Fest and I will say that it looks great in person. I’m sure that LEGO will modify it just a little bit to make it work for them as the parts count including minifigures is 770 pieces. It’s interesting to see The Flintstones as a license because there were hints that LEGO may have already had the stage was in LEGO Dimensions a few years ago.

LEGO Star Wars Kessel Mine Worker (40299) Barnes & Noble

For the past year or so, LEGO has been releasing exclusive LEGO Star Wars minifigures that are some display stands. There’s currently a promotion going on over at LEGO Shop@Home for the Han Solo Mudtrooper (40300) with purchases of $35 or more. It looks like there’s another promotion also running at Barnes & Noble, of all places, for the Kessel Mine Worker (40299). You can get it for free with purchases of $29.95 or more, while supplies last. From the looks over on the image, it looks like the promotion runs until October 18. There’s also reports that you can purchase it individually for $1.27 each. Thanks to Brandon for the heads up!

LEGO Overwatch Tracer Minifigure Revealed

October 2, 2018 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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

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

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
