1978 More Than Just Minifigures
Today we’ve been joining in on all the 40th anniversary celebrations of LEGO® Minifigures. First introduced in 1978, the Minifigure has gone one to become a cultural icon and ambassador of the LEGO brand. Their appearance in the late 70s was a major turning point for the LEGO system of play, allowing kids (and adults) to fully project themselves into these mini plastic vessels. As much as LEGO bricks inspired kids to become...
A Look At LEGO…. Racers
LEGO® Games have taken many forms over the years, but before TT Games took the reins and created the LEGO Games we know and love today, various other developers created a varied range of titles. One such game was LEGO Racers, a fairly primitive looking, racing adventure, which introduce the world to driver extraordinaire and Master Builder Rocket Racer. So let’s start those engines and take A Look At LEGO…. Racers. Despite...
A Look At LEGO…. Lando Calrissian
He may be the galaxy’s smoothest smuggler but the legendary Lando Calrissian hasn’t managed to sweet talk his way into that many LEGO® Star Wars sets. It’s one of the main reasons that the original Cloud City set is so sought after. Lando made his Minifigure debut way back in 2003, in set 10123: Cloud City and over the ten years since, there have only been four variants of Lando, across six sets. This includes his...
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...
A Look At LEGO…. Hot Dogs
The sun’s out so it’s time to get those buns out, as we take A Look At LEGO®…. Hot Dogs. The humble hotdog has been a recent addition to the world of LEGO® and ever since sausage met bun, LEGO have become a little obsessed with the elongated meaty treat. Food elements are always been a little limited, something touched upon in The LEGO Movie. The sausage has been around for quite a few years now appearing in numerous...
Amazing MOCs – The Old Workhorse Traction Engine
BricksFanz doesn’t feature as many MOCs has we should but when we see we like, then we have to share it. Fellow Leicester fan Bricked1980 has created a great little build, based on the early steam engines. The Old Workhorse Traction Engine is a great little MOC, bursting with detail and not only that, the images of the set have been well presented. Along with the main engine section of old fashion vehicle, a wooden trailer has...
Amazing MOCs – Huge Batcave & Wayne Manor
Brant Waller is back with another amazing LEGO® creation. He has created an impressive new build themed around everyones favourite Billionaire vigilante – Batman. This includes not only Wayne Manor but also the sprawling Batcave below. The level of detail and fun little nods to the rich history of Batman and the wider DC universe is fantastic. It stands around 6ft tall and has a footprint of around 30 inches square. It just...
