Click & Snap: Stranger Things Will The Wise

The third season of Stranger Things has been available on Netflix for a couple of weeks now. It’s an incredible programme and if you haven’t watched it already, I highly recommend it. During the new series, Will Byers tries to get the gang to play a Dungeon & Dragons campaign. So he’s dons his outfit to become Dungeon Master Will the Wise. Inspired by this moment I decided to recreate Will the Wise using the new...

Click & Snap: That Is One Big Pile Of Bricks

One of my favourite films is Jurassic Park, I fondly remember going to see in the cinema multiple times way back in 1993. I would of been just 10 years old and I remember being a mixture of scared but amazed at seeing dinosaurs being brought to life. So I was delighted when it was revealed we would be getting a LEGO® Jurassic World theme. Although based on the new trilogy, we have been treated to a set based on the Raptor kitchen...

LEGO Disney Minifigures Perfect Partnerships

Before I take a more detailed look at the upcoming series of LEGO® Minifigures, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the partnerships formed with the characters in the new series as well as the previous series. In the first series of LEGO Disney Minifigures, most characters could be linked with a fellow on-screen buddy, but in the new series there are no ‘billy no mates’. There are also character in the new series...

Click & Snap: Snowflake Village 2018

After a break last year, Christmas has exploded here at BricksFanz HQ with Snowflake Village back on display for the festive period. My LEGO® Christmas display definitely is one of the most impressive to be seen, but it’s still fun to watch people come in and have a look at it all. Of course it contains many of the Winter Village sets, released over the last few years, including this years Winter Village Fire Station....

Click & Snap: LEGO NINJAGO In The Wild

Whilst taking a look through the official LEGO® NINJAGO Facebook page, I stumbled upon these cool little LEGO beauty shoots for sets based on The LEGO NINJAGO Movie. The images aren’t new and have probably been up there since the movie came out in cinemas last year, but they are a great way to show off the sets. Shame they were not used more widely. As you can see they offer shots of the various LEGO NINJAGO Movie sets in...

Click & Snap: King Richard III Mosaic

Since Friday, visitors to the King Richard III Visitor Centre in Leicester have been helping Fairy Bricks to build a huge LEGO® mosaic of King Richard III. Over the last four day over 96,000 LEGO bricks have been pieced together to recreate the famous ‘red’ portrait of the fallen king. The event drew people young and old, to dive into the piles of 2×2 bricks and help construct the picture. If you missed out on taking...
