The Brick Fan 2019 Recap

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

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

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

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).

Thanks to Dio for the heads up.
