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....
The Great LEGO Modular Dilemma
As both a LEGO® fan and a proud LEGO Ambassador, I’ve had the opportunity to build a large number of sets. I’ve built everything from the UCS Falcon to a BrickHeadz or two. But despite my vast experience with various different themes and sets, there is one massive area of LEGO fandom, I’ve never ventured near – Modulars.

As LEGO fans you probably don’t pay that much attention to the sets focused toward the youngest...

Retro Rebuild: Monster Fighters Ghost Train
Almost every LEGO® fan has that one set they’ve always wanted but never owned, their ‘white whale’ if you will. For me it was the Monster Fighters Ghost Train. I emerged from my ‘dark age’ towards the end of the themes run, so missed out on being able to pick the set up brand new. Thankfully earlier this year, someone was selling a selection of LEGO Monster Fighter sets on a LEGO Facebook group. Those...
Top 10 Western LEGO Sets

When Red Dead Redemption was released back in 2010, it transported gamers back to days of the wild west, where cowboys roamed the frontier, eating beans and getting into shootouts with the local sheriff. As Red Dead Redemption II strides into stores today, it’s the perfect opportunity to saddle up and mosey on over a western-themed Top 10. The wild west...
