The Brick Fan Turns 8 Years Old

January 18, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 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.

The LEGO Lunar New Year Dragon (40395) building event at LEGO Stores will be happening on January 23 but LEGO has already provided the building instructions for you to download. Signups for the event started earlier this week but you can try to see if there are any spots left and it is intended for kids ages 6-14.

LEGO Celebrates 10 Years of Winter Village Subtheme

December 1, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

This year, LEGO celebrates a decade of the LEGO Winter Village subtheme. Little did they know that this traditional subtheme of the Creator line would be that popular among fans. In 2009, LEGO released the Winter Village Toy Shop (10199) which was a pretty simple build with not that much details inside the shop. Fast forward ten years and the latest offering this year is the Gingerbread House (10267) that is packed with little details. Which set from the LEGO Winter Village subtheme is your favorite?

LEGO has officially announced two brand new LEGO Seasonal sets to celebrate the 2020 Chinese New Year with the Lion Dance (80104) and the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105). Both sets will be available in China and Asia Pacific markets starting on December 26, 2019 and the rest of the world on January 10, 2020.

The details on the sets such as piece counts are still unavailable but we do know one set is $79.99 according to the press kit but not sure which set that goes to.
