LEGO Night Mode Lighting Kits Controversy

February 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

This morning, LEGO shocked the world by introducing LEGO Night Mode which is their in-house lighting kits for official sets. So far, the response for it has been overwhelmingly positive because we can now potentially have first-party lighting kits as part of the LEGO User Lab but unfortunately smaller companies who make third-party kits are now wondering what will happen to their business if LEGO does go ahead with the idea.

One of those businesses is Brickstuff who has a ton of products out there on the market and as a result, they have other companies that steal their ideas and make copycat products similar to it. An image came out of Copenhagen today showing a subcontractor that LEGO used on the Night Mode kits and they are called Light My Bricks. According to Brickstuff, this particular company pretty much pirated Brickstuff’s design and have been selling them on their own platform. In the Medium post, Brickstuff did mention that LEGO had reached out to them to perhaps work with them to create the Night Mode kits but was ultimately not chosen.

I’m not sure if LEGO knows about LMB stealing Brickstuff’s design or not but they should take a look into it before proceeding any further. I have no reason to doubt Brickstuff as they have first-hand experience with the LEGO User Lab but something that could be a great product has already been marred with controversy on the same day of the reveal.

LEGO within the last hour has just released a statement on … Continue

Each Light Kit comes with a designated number of LED Lights as well as Expansion Boards.

It was reported that these are actually for sale yet but LEGO is just getting feedback for them. This is actually great news for LEGO purists as they don’t have to rely on third party companies. What do you think of these new LEGO Night Mode Light Kits that LEGO could be planning on releasing in the future?

If you’ve been on LEGO Ideas today, you may have noticed that there were some new changed implemented to the platform.

The other update is to Activities where you can now “Like” entries. This helps recognize Activity entries that are popular. Again, nothing too spectacular but it enhances the site more.

LEGO Taking Feedback on LEGO VIP Program

The new LEGO VIP Program has been sort of a letdown since the changes went live in the middle of last year.

LEGO is now taking feedback on the LEGO VIP Program from the AFOL community on your experiences and opinions on it and how to improve it. Comment below and we’ll send over a summary to the team. The deadline to submit your comments is March 20 so you still have some time to think about it.

New Food Concept Coming to LEGO House

January 19, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has closed the LE GOURMET restaurant at the LEGO House and will introducing a new food concept in which you can name the restaurant.

Guest record and new food concept in LEGO House

2019 was a huge success in LEGO® House, reaching no less than 281,786 paying guests and thus a 15% growth compared to 2018. But this success comes with a cost, says Managing Director Jesper Vilstrup:

“We are really proud that we in 2019 exceeded our expectations for the number of guests in both the Experience Zones and in the public area of LEGO Square. But unfortunately having this many guests means that we cannot provide the dining experience we would like to in our eateries – the capacity is simply too low. And that applies both to the kitchen and in the restaurant areas.”

Therefore, management has made the decision to close the fine-dining restaurant, LE GOURMET, and the restaurant will therefore not open with the rest of the house after the winter close-down on January 18, 2020.

Jesper Vilstrup says:

“Closing LE GOURMET has been a difficult decision as we basically love the restaurant and the idea of having a great gourmet restaurant in Billund. On the other hand, it is no secret that it has been difficult to attract a continuous flow of guests into the restaurant. And when you consider that we have capacity challenges for our dining LEGO House guests during the day, it ultimately makes sense to utilise the space better.”

Already in weeks 6 and 7,

The Brick Fan Turns 8 Years Old

January 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

I was working on a future LEGO project and I suddenly realized that The Brick Fan turns eight years old today. It’s been a long road going from just another site on the internet to a Recognized LEGO Fan Media site. All of that wouldn’t happen if it wasn’t for you readers who frequent the site, whether be for one random post or if you’re a regular who visits every day.

I’ll still continue doing what I’ve been doing since I started this thing and that is to bring you LEGO news articles along with reviews and maybe throw in some editorials. Last year, we hit the most traffic we’ve had on the site so hopefully that trend continues this year.

Again, thank you everyone for visiting and for being a brick fan yourself.

Courtesy of Dylan Chow, it looks like there will be a build for The United Trinity (6322264) which features minifigures of George Best, Denis Law, and Sir Bobby Charlton.

It features the main part of Cherry Tree Lane where the Banks family lives along with some side buildings.

The project also proposes minifigures of Mary Poppins, Bert, George Banks, Winifred Banks, Jane Banks, Michael Banks, Admiral Boom, and Mr. Dawes Jr. This is the first project to reach the LEGO Ideas First 2020 Review Stage.

LEGO Newsstand Review & Building Instructions

January 9, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The LEGO Newsstand Building Event was held at LEGO Brand Stores yesterday and I was able to attend my store to build it and take home. I was also allowed to take the building instructions with me so I can scan it and share with you guys who weren’t able to attend. As far as parts are concerned, I believe the 1×6 sand blue plates are exclusive. There were sand blue plates released before but they were last used in 2003. Some of the other sand blue pieces used were only in the LEGO Stranger Things The Upside Down (75810) and LEGO Hidden Side Shrimp Shack Attack (70422). As for the purpose of the build, my store didn’t have the 1×6 plates and they substituted dark gray ones for them which was a bummer. I’m not sure if other stores had the same issue or not.

The build itself is pretty cool and it complements the new LEGO Creator Bookshop (10270) very well. I will say the instructions could have been better. Steps 3 and 4 as well as 9 and 10 could have been separated by each shelf. The shelves are very flimsy and it would have been better to put the items for each shelf instead of building the shelves first then putting all the items on. All in all, getting this 155 piece set for free was awesome since it would have probably cost $10-15 if LEGO sold it by itself. Below are the building instructions for the set which you save.… Continue

Way back when, there was a rumor of a new LEGO theme called LEGO DOTS which was supposed to be released last year but it never happened. It looks like the theme will be coming later this year as the LEGO 1HY catalogs show a page stating LEGO DOTS will be coming in March 2020. The page only shows some girls being excited but that’s pretty much the extent of it. It has been widely reported that the theme would be based around buildable LEGO jewelry. Perhaps the Justice partnership could finally be of value as LEGO could sell LEGO DOTS at the stores.

What Classic LEGO Set Would You Like to See Reissued?

January 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

It is now 2020 and many of us have been fans of LEGO for many years, some of you even decades. Each year LEGO releases brand new sets and sometimes even new themes, whether it be in-house IP or licensed ones. This is all fine and dandy especially since LEGO’s main audience are kids but what about the adults?

We also are builders but for some of us, we are also collectors. If you’re a collector like I am, I like nostalgia. I like the old stuff that remind me of my childhood. LEGO has released some new sets that harken back to some original sets like the Taj Mahal (10256) and Carousel (10257) but that’s about it for the larger sets. The most recent thing were the LEGO Star Wars – 20th Anniversary Edition sets which were pretty decent.

Fans have been asking for LEGO to do more stuff like this for years but they haven’t budged that much. The hype in recent years is that other toy companies have been releasing new products that resemble the old school toys from our childhood. These companies include NECA, Super7, and Hasbro and they have taken strides to release toys like the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, and Transformers Reissue figures, respectively, and fans have been eating them up like hotcakes. If LEGO would do something similar, there would surely be a market for it.

As you can see above, the one that I want is the Deep Freeze Defender from Ice Planet 2002. Some sets … Continue

To make room for these new sets, LEGO has officially announced that some of the older LEGO Ideas sets are now retired Shop@Home. All of these sets have are now out of stock but Amazon still has them in stock. This is literally your chance to get them and a few of them is still on sale at slight discounts. The sets that are now retired include:

NASA Apollo Saturn V (21309)
Voltron (21311)
Ship in a Bottle (21313)
TRON: Legacy (21314)
Pop Up Book (21315)

LEGO has also hinted there will be an announcement that is planned for early 2020. This could either mean an official review of one of the upcoming sets or an announcement for the winner(s) of the Second 2019 Review Stage.

Last Weekend for LEGO Star Wars Miniland at LEGOLAND California

January 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

IMG_8260

Just a heads up if you’re in the southern California area this weekend. Monday is the last day to see the LEGO Star Wars Miniland area at LEGOLAND California so this is the last weekend that they will have it on display.

The 1:20 scale LEGO Star Wars Miniland has been on display at the park for the past eight years and they have been expanding it by adding scenes from the Star Wars Saga with the last one being from The Force Awakens.

There’s no word on what will be replacing LEGO Star Wars Miniland but it will surely be missed as it is one of the more popular attractions at the park. LEGOLAND California curiously has been removing traces of Star Wars with them cancelling Star Wars Days and now this.

LEGO Overwatch Watchpoint Gibraltar (75975) Walmart Sale – January 2020

January 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you’re still looking to pick up the LEGO Overwatch Watchpoint Gibraltar (75975), Walmart currently has a great deal on it. The set is priced at $62.99 which is 30% off the retail price of $89.99. This is the lowest the set has been priced at on any retailer and it also includes free next day delivery, free 2 day delivery, or free in-store pick up.

I feel the LEGO Overwatch theme is pretty underrated because not many people know about or play the game at all, however, the sets do have some cool builds and minifigures.

LEGO Taiwan Year of the Rat Promotions

January 2, 2020 / / 0 Comments

The Year of the Rat is coming up in just a few weeks and LEGO Taiwan has put out a pretty interesting advertisement for the holiday. Mainly, they have posted an image showing all the animals on the zodiac. A majority of these minifigures are official minifigures from past LEGO Collectible Minifigures waves while others are mashups or recolors from existing minifigure parts. Some of the parts could be used for future minifigures as well.

Some other promotions LEGO has going on across the Pacific are the little brick-built items that will be given away during specific dates. They all look pretty cool but I do like the vase and the pellet drum.

As for us here in the US, we also have a LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat promotion on LEGO Shop@Home from January 13-26 with purchases of $80 or more. In addition, there are two Chinese Festival sets that will be releasing on January 10 with the Lion Dance (80104) and Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105).

LEGO Minifigure Trading Rumored to be Ending at LEGOLAND California

January 2, 2020 / / 0 Comments

LEGOLAND California Star Wars Days 2015

If you’ve ever been to any LEGOLAND parks, you may have noticed there are LEGO minifigure trading posts set up throughout the park for attendees to trade their minifigures for other ones. There’s a new rumor at LEGOLAND California saying that they may be removing them before The LEGO Movie World attraction opens up later this year.

An employee told of the attendees who was there today that it was too expensive to maintain. It’s worth noting that they have noticed the park has reduced the number of trading posts and employees don’t have minifigures on their badges as much as before. This could all be a rumor but signs are pointing that the minifigure trading will be going away soon. I’m not sure if this will be the same for other LEGOLAND parks or Discovery Centers or if it is just for the one here. Thanks to Hank for the heads up.

LEGO Star Wars Poe Dameron’s X-wing Fighter (30386) Polybag Review

LEGO Star Wars Poe Dameron's X-wing Fighter (30386)

For my very first review of 2020, I have a rather small polybag that I found a few days ago at Walmart alongside the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain Marvel and Nick Fury (30453) polybag which is the LEGO Star Wars Poe Dameron’s X-wing Fighter (30386). It contains 72 pieces and it also retails for $4.97 which is a price increase from previous years’ polybags.

The Brick Fan 2019 Recap

January 1, 2020 / / 0 Comments

It seemed that 2019 went by extremely fast and we’re already into the new year. That means that we can now take a look back at some of the statistics and other things that happened on The Brick Fan last year. This is probably one of my favorite times of the year simply because I like to see how my numbers stack up to previous years and also assess what I can do to improve.

We ended the year with 22,534,938 page views which is 51% more than in 2018. I’m not sure why the massive increase but I’ll gladly take it. As a result, unique views and first time visitors also dramatically increased as well.

One thing that is curious is that October’s traffic dropped a lot and I’m not sure why. There were 87 posts during the month which is on par compared to the other months of the year.

Our biggest traffic day was on November 19 with 121,434 page views. This was during the time when images of the 2020 sets started surfacing online. We finished off the year with 932 posts which is a bit more than previous years.

On to social media counts, we’re still slowly growing on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Facebook now has 15,845 followers (11% increase), Twitter has 9,513 followers (18% increase), and Instagram has 15,254 followers (16% increase). The subreddit now currently has 404 readers subscribed. No that is not a page error for you programmers.

LEGO Steve Harvey Bust Spiked by Gronk

January 1, 2020 / / 0 Comments

If you didn’t watch the New Year’s Eve coverage last night on Fox, there was a segment featuring former New England tight end Rob Gronkowski along with Steve Harvey as well as a LEGO bust of Steve. It didn’t take long for things to derail as Gronk spikes the bust to Steve’s surprise. I can’t really tell if Steve’s reaction is legitimate or not but it’s a shame that the bust got smashed up. I can’t imagine how long it took designers to create it and if they knew that was going to happen. Anyways, Happy New Year to everyone and it’s time to get out there and build those new LEGO sets!

LEGO Fast & Furious Set Rumored for 2020

December 29, 2019 / / 0 Comments

There’s a new LEGO 2020 set rumor that has stirred the pot again that could feature The Fast and the Furious franchise. Brick Fanatics is reporting that we could see a set based on something from the popular franchise. The rumor is that the set will be a larger style vehicle and not minifigure based. There were also rumors a few months ago that it could be a LEGO Technic Ultimate set based on Brian’s 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS from the first movie, similar to the Bugatti Chiron (42083).

It’ll be interesting to see how the Eclipse or any other Fast & Furious vehicle is translated into LEGO whether it be Technic style or maybe something for the Creator line. It’s worth noting that Fast & Furious 9 will be hitting theaters in May so there could be a cross-promotion for the movie and the set around that time. As always, these are strictly rumors until LEGO announces it.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain Marvel and Nick Fury (30453) Available at Walmart

December 27, 2019 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I reported that the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain Marvel and Nick Fury (30453) polybag was available at LEGOLAND California but it looks like it has also showed up at Walmart. I’ve been told that they are now available at various Walmart stores and according to Brickseek, it will be priced at $4.97. The SKU for it is 376020294 and the UPC is 673419322539.

The Nick Fury minifigure appears to be the same as the one in the Captain Marvel and the Skrull Attack (76127) while Captain Marvel is in her Vers Starforce outfit which was previously an exclusive minifigure for the SDCC 2019 Captain Marvel and the Asis (77902).

LEGO xtra Sports Accessories (40375) Polybag Review

December 27, 2019 / / 0 Comments

LEGO xtra Sports Accessories (40375)

I’m back to reviewing some of the LEGO 2020 sets and today I have a small one with the LEGO xtra Sports Accessories (40375) polybag. It has 36 pieces and retails for $3.99. If you’re not familiar with the LEGO xtra theme, it is basically sets that are added accessories that can be used for various settings.

For this Sports Accessories polybag, there are pieces of equipment used for various sports. Some of the items included are a pair of skis along with ski poles and a helmet. There are also some ice skates as well as roller skates with its respective helmet. To be used with those, there are a pair of hockey sticks, goal posts, and puck. In addition, there’s also an archery target with a bow and arrow. Lastly, there’s a pearl-gold trophy.

Overall, the LEGO xtra theme isn’t for everybody but it is available for those who would like some extra accessories for their displays. At $4 a polybag, you can get a decent amount of specialized parts that you usually don’t find in every set.

The Billion Brick Race Concept Art Released

December 26, 2019 / / 0 Comments

It looks like the partnership between The LEGO Group and Warner Bros. has pretty much ended as it has been reported that Universal Pictures was in talks to develop new film properties. As a result of this revelation, a spin-off LEGO WB movie called The Billion Brick Race that was in the works has also been nixed and The Book of Life director Jorge R. Gutierrez has released some concept art of some of the character designs for the movie. He describes the movie as “a racing film about race, privilege and gentrification with references to all my favorite 80s and 90s cop and action movies.” Too bad that this movie took so long to conceptualize as Warner Bros. focused more on other LEGO movies like The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

LEGO FORMA Not Launching Any Further

Late last night, LEGO FORMA released probably their last update informing backers and followers that FORMA will not be be moving forward with any additional products. Also, they stated that leftover inventory of the UK version of the Koi (81000) will only be sold at Shop@Home UK. If you still want one, now is the time to jump on it. If you’re outside of the UK, I would suggest asking a friend who lives there and is able to get you one or use a reshipper service. It’s unfortunate that LEGO FORMA won’t be moving forward but maybe LEGO could do another crowdsourcing product in the future as FORMA was a learning experience for them.

Again, I’m not sure why the price increase but fans aren’t happy about it. This change will definitely affect buying decisions as some before would just purchase a whole box to forgo feeling for each one. Thanks to David for the heads up.

Universal Pictures in Talks with LEGO to Develop New Film Properties

December 19, 2019 / / 0 Comments

It looks like we can expect some more LEGO movies coming to the big screen in the near future. Variety is reporting that Universal Pictures is in talks with The LEGO Group to develop new film properties based on the bricks.

LEGO themed movies have been pretty popular in the past few years with such movies as The LEGO Movie and The LEGO Batman Movie however there were also some misses like The LEGO Ninjago Movie and The LEGO Movie 2 whose numbers didn’t live up to expectations.

There’s still another LEGO movie announced back in 2015 called The Billion Brick Race that is supposedly still being worked on. There hasn’t been any news on that since last year when it was reported that the movie was losing its director.

With LEGO films also comes sets based on the movies so that also opens up the portfolio as to what LEGO wants to do. What film properties would you like to see in LEGO form?

The other videos show LEGO Owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Chairman Jorgen Vig Knudstorp playing with it with some commentary. Kristiansen also talks about LEGO Star Wars being the first licensed theme and releasing the first sets back in 1999. These videos are pretty rare as LEGO doesn’t do much of these kinds but it’s nice to see them taking time to film them and releasing them for fans.

Brick Fanatics Magazine Ending

December 16, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Brick Fanatics has announced that their in-house magazine will be ending as of today. The magazine started a year and half ago with the publication coming out monthly. Brick Fanatics will now be using those resources and focusing on other projects that “offer a greater and more direct LEGO experience to readers.” Subscribers will be getting a refund for issues left on the subscription. You’ll have to email them at [email protected] with your name and order number. It’s sad to see another LEGO magazine go away but in the digital age, it’s hard to rely on print media, especially for news.

Brick Fanatics Magazine to conclude

Brick Fanatics Magazine, the print publication dedicated to building your world of LEGO, will cease production from Issue 12

After 18 months of hard work and fun, 12 editions of Brick Fanatics Magazine packed full of brick-based content and some quite remarkable, overwhelming support from readers, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the publication will cease production, with Issue 12 the last issue released.

We have learned a great deal during the creation, production and release of Brick Fanatics Magazine, during each issue generating and tailoring content to an intelligent, ever-changing LEGO audience, always with the aim that our tagline set out – building your world of LEGO.

It is with that message and ambition in mind, and with what we have learned during the course of producing Brick Fanatics Magazine, that we have come to this decision. There are many ways that we can build your world

LEGO Classic Space Galaxy Explorers Geeky Jerseys Back in Stock Again

December 15, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Geeky Jerseys has again brought back their popular LEGO Classic Space jersey for sale again for a limited time. The only differences from the previous releases is that these are not customizable and will only have name SPACEMAN on the back with the number 85 which corresponds to one of the bigger years in LEGO Space history. Also the price of the jersey has been raised to $109.

I literally just received my jersey from the last release and I will say that they are pretty high quality. One downside is that it took three months to receive it but that is because each jersey is handmade. They do sell out fairly quickly so if you want one, now is your chance because they don’t sell it all the time.

Again, not a sponsored post. I just think they’re cool because I’m a LEGO Space fan.

There’s a new activity book by Scholastic coming out later this month called LEGO Harry Potter: A Magical Search and Find Adventure.

LEGO Releases Video Discussing New Train Wheels

December 13, 2019 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has released a new and rare video on the LEGO Ambassador Network featuring designers talking about the design change with the train wheels. The new wheels uses plastic instead of the metal axle and it allows for more flexibility when building your trains but there are other benefits. During the side by side comparison, the trains with the new wheels went around the track faster and it also improves battery consumption. Since the train wheels are made from plant based materials instead of using the metal bar, it is cheaper for LEGO to produce and that is passed down to us by giving more bricks in the sets. If you have any questions or comments about the new LEGO train wheels, feel free to leave them below and LEGO will be gathering feedback and try to answer questions about it.

LEGO Ghostbusters: Afterlife Trailer Released – Sets Rumored for 2020

December 9, 2019 / / 0 Comments

The trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife dropped today and it is a direct sequel to the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II starring Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd. What we’re interested here at The Brick Fan is if there are any LEGO sets for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. We’re unsure at this time but rumor has it from Brick Fanatics is that there will be some sets inspired from the film.

As you may know, the Ghostbusters theme isn’t new from LEGO as there has been a number of sets already including the LEGO Ideas Ecto 1 (21108), Ecto 1 & 2 (75828), Firehouse Headquarters (75827), BrickHeadz Peter Venkman & Slimer (41622), and sets for LEGO Dimensions. I wouldn’t be too surprised if there are sets for the new movie.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife releases in theaters on July 10, 2020.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Price Increase Confirmed on Brickseek

December 8, 2019 / / 0 Comments

A few months ago, we first reported that the price of the LEGO Collectible Minifigures will be increasing in 2020 and it looks like that has been confirmed by Brickseek. The LEGO DC Comics Collectible Minifigures (71026) are now out at Toys R Us in Canada as well as to a few RLFM sites and we can see the UPC number for the minifigures as 673419319362. Crosschecking that on Brickseek, it shows that the price has jumped to $4.97 which is Walmart pricing but it pretty much confirms that they will be $4.99 per pack.

Again, I’m not sure why the price has increased but note that for this wave, each minifigure will have a jumper plate along a trans-clear piece for action poses. I doubt those two additional pieces are the reason for the dollar increase but there could be other behind the scenes things that also factored into it.

Life-Sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron Now at LEGOLAND California

December 6, 2019 / / 0 Comments

The life-sized LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron has landed at LEGOLAND California and park attendees will be able to see for a limited time. It is displayed at one of the entrances of The Big Shop and you’ll be able to see the car in every angle. It consists of over 1 million Technic elements and took designers and builders over 13,000 hours to create. There’s no word on when the Chiron will be displayed until but now is a great once in a lifetime opportunity to see it.

It may not be Santa’s sleigh, but it’s built with more than one million LEGO® Technic elements, features more than 2,000 LEGO electric motors and more than 4,000 LEGO Technic gears, and is a one-of-a-kind replica of the world’s fastest production car…the first- ever life-size and drivable LEGO® Bugatti Chiron is on display at LEGOLAND® California Resort for the holidays for a limited time starting December 5.

The LEGO Bugatti Chiron took a team of designers and builders more than 13,000 hours to create the ultimate super sports car. Similar to the actual Chiron, the first fully-functional self-propelled Technic car is equipped with a rear spoiler, speedometer, front and back lights and detachable steering wheel that are all fully functional for this movable masterpiece. While the actual Chiron has been designed to reach record breaking speeds of 300 mph, the LEGO version is equally impressive as it has been engineered without the use of glue to keep the model together and allow it to be driven.

LEGO to Phase Out Plastic Retail Bags and Switching to Paper Bags

December 1, 2019 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has been doing various initiatives to help the environment and to use sustainable materials by the end of the next decade. They have recently announced that the company will be phasing out plastic retail bags in 2020. The plastic bags used at LEGO Brand and Certified Stores will be replaced by sustainably sourced paper bags. Some stores may have already been doing this for months now but their plan is for all stores to switch over. Check out the full press release below.

Single use plastic retail bags to be phased out of LEGO® Stores in 2020

As part of the LEGO Group’s ambition to use 100% sustainable materials in its packaging, the company is replacing single-use plastic retail bags with ones made from sustainably sourced paper.


[Billund, November 2019] The LEGO Group announced today that it will phase out plastic retail bags in all LEGO® Stores globally in 2020. The move, which is part of the LEGO Group’s ambition to use 100% sustainable materials in its packaging by 2025, will see all plastic retail bags replaced with ones made from sustainably sourced paper across the fleet of more than 500 stores.

The new paper bags will be introduced in stores once they have used up existing stocks of plastic retail bags to ensure no unnecessary waste is generated. The paper bags are made from 100% Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certified paper and are fully recyclable.

The LEGO Group’s sustainable packaging ambition focuses on finding sustainable packaging alternatives by 2025 that are:

The LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) became available at midnight EST on Shop@Home and as a bonus, LEGO also offered Limited Edition 1989 Batmobile (40433) with the purchase. It looks like the promo is no longer available at least for US Shop@Home but LEGO Brand Stores might still have them. The limited edition one was supposed to be available until December 5, while supplies last, but it didn’t even make it past one day as it doesn’t show up anymore in the cart. I’m not sure exactly when it went out of stock but it’s gone now.

If you were online last night trying to get it, a majority of shoppers were frustrated with Shop@Home because of all the site errors, which seems like the norm now for big releases. Hopefully those who wanted one got it even after the disastrous launch.

Head on over to CamelCamelCamel and set yourself up with an account. Then you can set up a price watch on the Millennium Falcon drops below a certain price point.

Our partnership with LEGO is a licensing agreement. More information on the partnership and some exciting new products will be released in the new year.

This is the second time that LEGO has struck a partnership with a football team with the first one being the DFB German National Team (71014) from 2016 which was only available in Europe unless you get it from the secondary market. I assume the LEGO Manchester United products will also be available in Europe initially and the rest of the world later on since LEGO won’t do regional exclusives anymore but we’ll see.

Yesterday I reported on some of the promotions for LEGO Black Friday 2019 but I now have news on the Early Black Friday promos as well. I’ve been told there will be Double VIP Points, a red 2×4 brick that is brick built with purchases of $200 or more, and the Christmas Tree (40338). I’m not sure how big the 2×4 brick will be since this is the first time I’ve heard of it. These promos will run next weekend in stores and on Shop@Home.

I want to also clarify and apologize that the Batmobile will not be on sale early as I have previously reported. There was a mixup of information as there will be a number of promotions going the next few weeks. It will be available on November 29 along with the mini Batmobile.

The 12th edition of the print publication all about LEGO is available worldwide to order now at www.brickfanatics.com/magazine, with shipping due from the end of November. Single copies (with additional postage and packaging charge) and 12-issue and 24-issue subscriptions from Issue 12 are all available to order.

This issue leads with a very special interview between LEGO and Lucasfilm, as Brick Fanatics Magazine brings together designers from both companies who have played their part in shaping this most recent era of Star Wars on the big screen and in LEGO.

As part of Pinewood Studios’ Creature Department, Concept Designer Jake Lunt Davies is responsible for designing a host of droids and creatures that have appeared in Star Wars, starting with The Force Awakens and ending with December’s upcoming The Rise of Skywalker. From prominent characters such as BB-8 and the Porgs to memorable creatures such as the Rathtars, the Caretakers and Thala-sirens and background heroes like Pao and Ello Asty, Jake has helped shape the last five years of Star Wars on the big screen, and, inadvertently a large number of LEGO Star Wars sets too.

As the Skywalker saga and sequel trilogy draws to a close this December with the release of The Rise of Skywalker, Brick Fanatics Magazine sits Jake down with LEGO Creative Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and Design Manager … Continue

The LEGO Batman 1989 Batmobile (76139) was announced just in time for Black Friday shopping which includes the free smaller Limited Edition (40433) version of the set when you buy it.

The LEGO Group Opens New Campus in Billund, Denmark

October 28, 2019 / / 0 Comments

LEGO has announced that they have opened up a new state-of-the-art campus at its headquarters in Billund. This new campus will be 54,000 square meters and will hold more than 2,000 employees when construction is completed in 2021.

BILLUND, DENMARK, October 28, 2019: After four years of planning and construction, the LEGO Group opened the first phase of its new, state-of-the-art Campus at its headquarters in Billund, Denmark today. Designed by C.F. Møller Architects, the campus will span 54,000 square metres and house more than 2,000 employees when it is finished in 2021.

Hoping to express the core values of the LEGO Group: imagination, creativity, fun, learning, caring and quality, the inspiration for the new building came from a painting in the LEGO Group owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen’s office. In it, a boy proudly holds up his creation of a building made with LEGO® bricks. This gave the architects license to adopt a more playful approach to their design, something that is apparent in the details of the structure. These include the use of LEGO bricks in the exterior walls, the placement of two, gigantic yellow bricks on the roof, and an entryway made of bricks.

Niels B. Christiansen, CEO of the LEGO Group said: “It’s wonderful to see these first two buildings open. The team has worked hard to create a workspace that reflects our values and instills a sense of fun. Our mission is to inspire children so it’s important we provide our talented colleagues with an environment that is playful and inspires

Life-Sized LEGO Ideas Central Perk Reveal at Friends Experience Las Vegas

October 18, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Friends is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and there will be a Friends Experience in Las Vegas this weekend that will feature a life-sized version of Central Perk built out of LEGO. Nathan Sawaya has been commissioned to recreate a life-sized LEGO Ideas Central Perk (21319) that is 700 square feet and using almost 1 million LEGO bricks over a period of four months. It will be revealed and displayed today at the New York-New York Hotel which you can go and check out. As for the Central Perk set itself, it is currently out of stock again after going back up for a short time a few days ago.

Go big…or go home! At nearly 700 square feet, this re-creation of one of the series’ signature sets will be on display exclusively at New York-New York. Built out of 900,000 LEGO bricks over a period of four months, this life-sized re-creation from acclaimed artist Nathan Sawaya features everything from the iconic sofa to the latest menu board.

Fun Facts: No one has ever built a life-sized TV set out of LEGO bricks before. Although the creators binge-watched every season of “Friends,” it took them longer to build the set than to watch the series. The furniture is all fully functional –– allowing visitors to sit on the couches and chairs. The signature orange couch took the longest time to build –– as the most challenging part of the process was replicating the patterns in the upholstery.

We usually don’t see sales on the minifigures unless they’re close to retiring so getting them at a discount this early is a good deal.

If you remember, Toys R Us will be opening two stores in the US and it looks like the revamped website will also be doing their online sales through Target. This is an interesting strategy on TRU’s part since they are making their comeback just before the holidays so we’ll see if it works out for them.

LEGO Announces New LEGO Replay Pilot Program

October 8, 2019 / / 0 Comments

If you’re like me and have way too many LEGO bricks, LEGO has launched a new pilot program called LEGO Replay which allows you to donate bricks you don’t want to children’s non-profits in the US. LEGO is working with three different organizations including Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston. Check out the press release below.

ENFIELD, CONNECTICUT, October 8, 2019: Today, The LEGO Group announced the launch of LEGO® Replay, a pilot program that will accept any and all previously used LEGO bricks and donate them to children’s non-profits in the United States. The effort is a collaboration with Give Back Box, Teach For America, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.

The process is simple: collect any loose LEGO bricks, sets, or elements, place them into a cardboard box, and visit www.lego.com/replay to print out a free UPS shipping label. The package will be sent to the Give Back Box facility, where each brick will be sorted, inspected by hand, and given a rigorous cleaning. This process is possible because LEGO bricks are made from high-quality, durable materials, designed to be used for generations.

“We know people don’t throw away their LEGO bricks,” said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group. “The vast majority hand them down to their children or grandchildren. But others have asked us for a safe way to dispose or donate their bricks, so with Replay, they have an easy option that’s both sustainable and socially impactful.”

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Rumored Price Increase in 2020

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 19 (71025)

In 2020, we’ll be getting a few series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures and it looks like we’ll be paying a little bit more for them. For about five years now, the LEGO Collectible Minifigures have been priced at $3.99 each but it looks like it will jump up a dollar next year. This comes from an email that I got a few weeks back and it looks to be confirmed by another source.

I’m not sure of the reasoning behind the rumored price increase but I’m sure fans will not be too pleased about it if is true, however, there are some cool new things that are rumored for 2020 which I’ll talk about later on which could be a reasoning of why we’ll be paying more for them. Of course, treat this as a rumor but considering two different sources have said it, I would say it may be true.

LEGO Holiday Ideas Book Review

October 7, 2019 / / 0 Comments

A few days ago, I received a mysterious package from DK and I opened it to find out it was a brand new LEGO book called LEGO Holiday Ideas. It has 80 pages and it features more than 50 build ideas to use for holiday decorations, games, and gifts. What’s even cooler is that the book also provides the parts for an exclusive reindeer build.

Of course, you’ll need your own parts for the other builds in the book but the images for the pages were photographed very well so you can see what parts are needed. Some of my personal favorite builds from the book include The Elf Express which is a monorail for the elves and the Gingerbread Train.

LEGO Holiday Ideas retails for $14.99 but it is currently on sale over on Amazon for $10.59 which is 29% off. Thank you again to DK for sending it over for us to check out.
