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

January 1, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

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 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 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 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 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!

Gronk spiked Lego Steve Harvey and Harvey was NOT happy.
