LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Video Game Announced

January 8, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO, Marvel, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and TT Games have announced their latest addition to the video games line, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. The game will be available Fall 2013 for various systems including Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and Windows PC. The game will be looking to joining many successful LEGO games including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, as well as Batman and Batman 2.

The storyline will center around Nick Fury calling many Marvel Super Heroes including Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man, Wolverine, and with more than 100 Marvel characters to unlock, to save the Earth from the forces of Loki and Galactus. There are 8 scenes from the X-Men, Iron Man and Spider-Man franchises and hints of scenes from the new Iron Man 3 film as well. I also wonder if LEGO will be throwing in an exclusive pre-order minifigure like with some of the other LEGO video games. If so, who could it be?

LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit (75005) Review

January 6, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO first revealed the Star Wars Rancor Pit (75005) at San Diego Comic Con last summer. After building and reviewing Jabba’s Palace, the set felt incomplete without the Rancor Pit under it. Early this year, LEGO released the Pit in the first wave of 2013. The set contains 380 pieces and retails for $59.99, which comes to about $0.16/piece. The box contains one instruction booklet, four numbered bags, and two unnumbered bags.

January 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Ninjago The Golden Dragon (70503) is mostly taken from a scene in the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu tv series episode Island of Darkness where all the Ninjas go to find the Temple of Light. Here is where they all are transformed into their final outfits including Lloyd Garmadon who becomes the Golden Ninja and summons the Golden Dragon. This set contains 252 pieces and retails for $29.99, a $0.12/piece ratio. The box comes with one instruction booklet, three numbered bags, and one un-numbered bag with the dragon head.

LEGO Legends of Chima Video Games in 2013

January 2, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

With the recent arrival of the Legends of Chima sets, LEGO isn’t done pushing their newly established original property. They, along with Warner and TT Games, have announced three video games based on the world of Chima and will be releasing them across various platforms in 2013.

First is a racing mini-game called LEGO Legends of Chima: Speedorz that is already available on LEGO.com today (although I can’t find it anywhere yet) and on the iOS on January 3rd. Players will be racing characters from Chima through many locations in world of Chima collecting items to power up their vehicles and unlocking more content.

The second game coming out is called LEGO Legends of Chima: Laval’s Journey. This looks to be a game coming out for various handheld systems including the Nintendo 3DS, PS Vista, and the Nintendo DS. The main character will most likely be Laval and his allies will be having an adventure in the world of Chima. The Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita versions will be released in Summer 2013 while the Nintendo DS will be available in Fall 2013.

The final game being released this year revolving around the world of Chima is LEGO Legends of Chima Online. This is a free-to-play online game that allows players to create and customize their kingdom in Chima. Players can also explore the world as well as taking on missions for rewards. We’re not sure if this is a just single player game or a MMO style game.

End of 2012 Updates at The Brick Fan

January 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After coming out of the “Dark Ages” in late 2011, I decided to start a blog just writing about the LEGO sets that I purchase but under a different URL. There were some complications with the URL so I had to change the blog name. On January 18, 2012, The Brick Fan URL officially went live. The site started off slow with very small traffic coming through, like all beginning sites do. We decided to shift our focus from reviewing just what we purchased to more general news in addition to reviews. It wasn’t until San Diego Comic Con 2012 when the site started to pick up and an uptrend of traffic ever since.

We’ve had a great year in 2012 on the blog, much more than I’ve ever expected. The site had 589,000 pageviews from 377,000 unique visits. All of this would not have happened without our loyal readers and we thank you. We’ve also had the pleasure to connect with a lot of amazing people in the LEGO community.

So what does this all mean? It means that we have bigger visions for next year and in the future. We have some things that we plan on rolling out, which some of you might be excited to see. We would also like your suggestions on how to improve the site such as what you like to see more or less of. Just fill out our contact form and give us your suggestions.

We’re looking forward to see what happens in 2013 with all the … Continue

LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles Premiere Date Announced

December 29, 2012 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The premiere date of the LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles has been announced on the official LEGO Star Wars blog and it will be exactly one week from today, January 5th. There was a TV commercial on the Cartoon Network that was shown yesterday night but I’ve checked the TV listings for January 5th and didn’t see the show on the schedule. Although it didn’t show up on the schedule, that doesn’t mean it can’t change as we get closer to the premiere date.

Update: The premiere date of January 5 announced by LEGO was incorrect and will actually be Friday, January 11. LEGO has updated their blog with more details.

Unfortunately the date that was earlier posted on the blog regarding the launch of this year’s big story The Yoda Chronicles was not correct. It will launch on Friday January 11th.
However, we have more cool news to tell you now. Throughout the whole year, starting from January 11th you will have access to a new portal filled with weekly updates. This will truly be awesome for all of us!
