Top 10 The LEGO Movie Sets
To coincide with the 10th anniversary of The LEGO® Movie being released in UK cinemas, I thought it would be fun to chart the 10 best sets inspired by the much-loved movie. When the movie was released back in 2014, it was supported by a couple of waves of sets, a series of collectable minifigures and an extended range of companion products, some of which also included exclusive minifigures and minibuilds. Not only that, it also...
Top Ten LEGO Disney Sets
All this week BricksFanz is celebrating the magic of LEGO® Disney and today it’s a round-up of the Top Ten LEGO Disney sets. The LEGO Group and Disney have had a long relationship, one which in fact began long before the LEGO brick even existed. Although there is a LEGO Disney theme, which was once the Disney Princess theme, it’s expanded to include many different sorts of sets from a variety of themes including LEGO...
Top 10 LEGO Designer Videos
After watching the latest LEGO® Designer Video for the upcoming LEGO Ideas Dinosaur Fossils set, it got me thinking about past videos. They have changed quite a lot over the years, long gone is the catchy opening theme song and jostling LEGO Designers. Although they still follow a similar format, with one or more members of the LEGO Design Team discussing the creation of a set and its various features, elements and Minifigures. More...
Top 10 LEGO Tree Sets
A couple of years ago, I noticed an odd pattern with some of the LEGO® sets I were buying. A large number of them were tree-based. So with the reveal of the LEGO Ideas TreehouseLEGO Ideas Treehouse I thought it was the ideal time for another LEGO Top 10. Trees have made a surprisingly large amount of appearances in LEGO sets over the last few years, I’m not talking about the classic tree element, but actual buildable trees. They...
Top 10 LEGO Rockets
It’s time to blast-off for another LEGO® Top Ten. Now I started this Top Ten back in November as it was long rumoured that the new John Lewis advert would be inspired by Elton John 70s hit Rocketman, turns out it wasn’t and as it would be a stretch to compile the Top Ten LEGO Pianos. I parked the feature and promptly forgot about it, as it was mostly done, seems a shame to bin it. So it’s time to chart the Top Ten...
Top 10 Western LEGO Sets
One of the most anticipated media releases in recent years arrives today. 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...
Top 10 Best LEGO Helicopters Sets
The humble helicopter has made a vast appearance across numerous LEGO® themes over the years. In fact they have almost been around for as long as the LEGO brick has. Since the 70s there has been well over 300 sets to feature a helicopter, some have used the term fairly loosely, but the aircraft has cropped up in some rather surprising themes, making it one of the most versatile vehicles and the perfect subject for a BricksFanz Top Ten...
