The Brick Fan 2025 Recap

January 1, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s a new year and that means we can now do a recap of what when on for The Brick Fan in 2025. It’s always fun to look back and see what happened during the year compared to previous years.

There were a total of 928 posts last year with July being the month with the most news with 105 posts. Of those posts we had 19,010,766 page views and that was a 26.5% decrease in views from 2024. Although the views are down, it doesn’t really tell the whole story because the engagement through social media have increased significantly.

The most popular day on the site was May 2 with 244,621 views which was the day that the summer 2025 LEGO sets were revealed for a majority of the themes. As a result, May was also our most popular month of the year.

Again like with 2024, our review numbers are terrible since nobody really reads them. I’m not sad or disappointed in it because we’re not known that much for LEGO reviews compared to other fan media sites. We do the work and put it out there and if someone takes our opinion on a particular set, that’s good enough for me. That’s just how the cookie crumbles.

Like I mentioned before, we’ve changed up our social media strategy a little and that has boosted our presence a good deal which in turn boosted engagement. I have a certain goal in mind for 2026 and we’ll see if we can achieve that.

LEGO Birthday Cupcake (40905) GWP Revealed

December 29, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has revealed a new upcoming gift with purchase set with the LEGO Birthday Cupcake (40905). The 174 piece set features a brick-built cupcake that can be customized with various decorative pieces. There’s no word yet on when it will be available or the price requirement to get it but I’m guessing it’ll be at the beginning of the new year.

Celebrate kids’ birthdays with the LEGO® Birthday Cupcake (40905) toy. This customizable birthday gift comes with a range of colorful tiles and shapes letting kids decorate their cake in lots of creative ways. This customizable small toy includes a chef minifigure holding a balloon animal that young builders can use to decorate the cupcake, as well as candles for their age. This is the ideal birthday gift for 7-year-old-plus girls and boys, or for kids who love baking. Set contains 174 pieces.

The Brick Fan Top 5 LEGO GWPs of 2025

December 28, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Yesterday we did our list for our Top 5 LEGO sets of 2025 and now we’re doing our list of best gift with purchase sets. It didn’t seem like it but LEGO released 77 GWPs this year ranging from polybags to small-to-medium sized sets, although a small number of them were for new LEGO Brand Store openings. Some of the more “premium” GWPs were locked into certain sets that you had to buy when they initially released which has gotten some backlash in recent times. This factor did go into my rankings as well as the price requirements to get them.

5. Tribute to Jane Austen’s Books (40766) – June 2025/$150 purchase

I really love the GWPs that LEGO releases that pay tribute to various people with historical significance. The Jane Austen tribute set does a decent job showing her living room in the style of a book and a minifigure of the author. I’m not sure how LEGO came to choose the person to make a set for but it’s a nice addition. The $150 price requirement is in the middle of the road of the 361 piece set.

4. Mini Knight’s Castle (40775) – November 2025/$250 purchase

The Mini Knight’s Castle has 590 pieces and was only available for a very short time as it was a LEGO Insiders Weekend and Black Friday day exclusive. The set features a mini recreation of the Knight’s Castle (6073) from 1984 and the Black Knight’s Castle (6086) from 1992. The $250 price requirement is in line with … Continue

The Brick Fan Top 5 LEGO Sets of 2025

December 27, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

2025 was a pretty big year for LEGO as there were 800 different products released. I haven’t done it in a few years but these are my top 5 sets for 2025 and my reasoning for it. The original list was about 10 sets and it was extremely hard to get it down to only 5. Some of the factors that went into my personal rankings are fandom, nostalgia, and pricing. Note that none of these sets were given by LEGO for review. I’ll also probably do a top 5 gift with purchase set list as well so stay tuned for that.

5. LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene (76321) – $54.99

It’s been 21 years since we’ve gotten a Spider-Man 2 set and the LEGO Marvel Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene (76321) was a no-brainer for me. Although it’s small, it captures one of the more iconic scenes from the movie.

4. LEGO Disney Wall-E & EVE (43279) – $69.99

Another nostalgic set has been remade this year with Wall-E & EVE (43279). It’s been a whole decade between the original LEGO Ideas set and this new one is perfect for fans that didn’t get the old one or for those new to LEGO. For $20 more, there are 134 more pieces and you also get EVE and M-O.

3. TIE: The Going Merry Pirate Ship (75639) & The Baratie Floating Restaurant (75640) – $139.99/$329.99

Never would I thought that the worlds of LEGO and One Piece would collide … Continue

LEGO Brings Back a Few More GWPs & 2x Insiders Points on Select Sets

December 25, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I guess LEGO isn’t done with the promotions for 2025 as they have brought back a few from the past including 2x Insiders points on select sets, all of which end at the end of the year. First is the LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack (40771) when you purchase the Ultimate Collector Series Death Star (75419).

When you purchase the LEGO Harry Potter Hogsmeade Village – Collectors’ Edition (76457), you can get the Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement (40770).

For the general purchase GWPs, you can get the LEGO Creation Celebration: Ferris Wheel with Fireworks (40758) when you make a purchase of $85 or more and the LEGO Spring Festival Lucky Knots (40756) when you make a $150 purchase. This would work great on some of the End-of-Year Sales or any sets that are retiring at the end of the year.

For the double Insiders points sets, you can get some extra points when you purchase the LEGO Icons Holiday Express Train (10361), LEGO Icons Shelby Cobra 427 S/C (10357), LEGO The Simpsons Krusty Burger (10352), and LEGO Ideas Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (21360). Other countries have other sets listed for double points.
