2025 is well underway now and it’s time to do a 2024 recap on what happened on The Brick Fan. You know me, I love stats.

We had a total of 909 posts last year which equated to 25,849,939 page views. This marks a 15% decrease in page views from 2023. Pretty much every stat was down across the board but still respectable numbers. I’m not really sure why there’s a significant difference whether it be the Google algorithms not indexing the posts or being shadowbanned on my social media accounts but I’m not really too worried. I’ve learned that numbers aren’t everything and if my posts just get out to one person, then I’m happy. With that said, we’ve also passed the 200 million page view mark!

Not surpringly, May was again the best month out of the year with 2.7 million page views with May 6 being the best day out of the year with 224,647 views. The official announcement for the LEGO Ideas Tuxedo Cat (21349) was one of the big factors for this.

One thing that stands out from last year is that pretty much nobody reads my reviews. When I look at the numbers that I send to the Ambassador Network, they’re abysmal. The social media numbers reflect that as well. One main thing is that we’re not known as a review site compared to others and that’s one of the reasons so I guess that’s okay.

Social media has been a big part of our posting strategy, whether it be … Continue

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwanzaa from everyone here at The Brick Fan. Depending on how you look at it, this year has gone by very fast or pretty slow but we’re almost at the finishing line for the year.

Thank you to everyone who visits the site every day and I hope you got what you wanted this year. Take some time today to relax with friends and family and build some LEGO and stay safe.

It looks like the rumors of us getting a LEGO Bluey theme seems to be coming true as there is some concrete evidence that has surfaced. In an official post on their Facebook page, the caption shows “A Christmas fit for the Heelers! Hope your tree is full of surprises… 👀🎁” and if you look closely at the pictures, you can see what appears to be the Long Dog Easter Egg built with LEGO. If that’s not enough evidence that we could be seeing LEGO Bluey sets, I don’t know what is.

Bluey has been fairly popular, particularly in LEGO Ideas as there have been a few projects that have reached the 10,000 supporter goal but ultimately did not pass the the review stages. We’ll just have to wait and see if LEGO will actually make any sets.

Coming back again with the LEGO 2025 rumors, one that really stands out that was just reported about from different sources is that we could be getting LEGO One Piece sets. There will be five sets released next summer and will be based on the Netflix series. This rumor is way out there in left field and I’m highly skeptical of it but I’ll be overjoyed if it is true and no doubt that the Going Merry ship will be one of the sets and will feature many of the pirates.
