Another Look At LEGO… ‘Plush’ Toys
Last year, I took a look at the cute little ‘plush’ collectables found in a series of LEGO® sets. As I mentioned then, LEGO fans are suckers for collecting groups of LEGO pieces, whether these are intentional collectables such as the Harry Potter Chocolate Frog tiles or the Wanted Poster tiles from the ONE PIECE sets, or unintentional collections such as different coloured frogs, animal figures, or, as is the case here,...
LEGO City Undercover – Grand Theft LEGO
With the world gripped by Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order fever, it’s an ideal time to take a look back at when TT Games took the open-world formula of GTA with the slapstick gameplay of their LEGO® titles. The blending of unusual worlds resulted in LEGO City Undercover, a Wii U exclusive which later headed to Xbox and PlayStation. LEGO City might not be as dangerous or as risky as Vice City, but the LEGO City Police Department is...
LEGO Look Back – Forza Horizon 4 X Speed Champions
With the latest edition of Forza Horizon speeding onto Xbox and PC today, it’s the ideal time to take a look back at the first-ever LEGO® content for the game series fourth outing. Back in 2019, at E3, Xbox Studios and Playground Games announced the LEGO Speed Champions expansion for Forza Horizon 4. This added an entire LEGO brick-filled world to the popular racing series, along with several LEGO Speed Champions vehicles. Once...
A Look At LEGO… Video Game Bonus Items
With the release of LEGO® Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight only a couple of weeks away, it’s clear that TT Games’ latest LEGO title will not include any physical goodies. It’s one of only a few LEGO Games not to offer an exclusive LEGO minifigure or mini set. So, as it would seem the tradition has ended, it’s a good time to take a look back at some of the past LEGO bonuses which have been packed in or given...
LEGO Minifigures: Building Diversity
The term diversity has become a rather divisive word of late. But it means far more than the colour of someone’s skin or how they choose to identify. It’s about being seen and accepted. Something extremely important for kids and adults alike. And whilst a vocal few are using diversity to further their hateful causes, others are doing their utmost to celebrate diversity. When BricksFanz first launched under the guise of...
LEGO Set V Source: Animal Crossing Part 2
Since its introduction in 2024, the LEGO® Animal Crossing theme has provided several sets to help recreate your own real-world, brick-built island. Earlier this year, a trio of new sets joined the line-up, providing new villager minifigures and buildings. But how do these new sets compare to the Animal Crossing games? 77076: Blather’s Museum Collection Along with Nook’s Cranny, the Able Sisters Tailor Shop, the Airport and the Town...
The Wondrous World Of LEGO BrickHeadz
With news that Funko is close to bankruptcy, it got me thinking about the LEGO Group’s answer to the collectable character craze – LEGO® BrickHeadz. Funko Pops were first available in 2011, and their popularity exploded in the years that followed. They covered a wide range of characters and brands, making their fan base seemingly endless. Initially created to capture the same audience interested in the Funko Pop! range,...
