A Look At LEGO… BricksFanz Fools
I’ve been far too busy to come up with an April Fools feature for this year, so instead, here’s a look back at some past online pranks. One of the most popular of my past April Fools was the ‘Collectible LEGO® Brick Seperator’ series. Even now, it still pops up on Reddit. One of the most elaborate was the LEGO Botanical Collection Leeks, thanks to a little help from John Cramp, aka Bricked1980, this was a play...
LEGO Set V Source: Animal Crossing
It’s been 5 years since gamers headed off to new horizons in the latest iteration of the long-running life-sim, Animal Crossing.

With the reveal of a second version of the Trevi Fountain joining the LEGO® Architecture range, it’s an ideal time to take a brief look back at the history of the long-running LEGO theme. The LEGO Architecture sets have long sought inspiration from iconic landmarks and locations worldwide, but the theme began as an idea from an architectural-loving LEGO fan. Adam Reed Tucker wanted to unite his passion for architecture with LEGO...
LEGO Set V Source: Fortnite Battle Bus
For the final LEGO® Fortnite Set V Source feature it’s time to look at the game’s most enduring feature. Fortnite is filled with iconic items and characters but the most recognisable element of the game has to be the Battle Bus. The flying vehicle has been a part of the game since the Battle Royale mode was introduced and took inspiration from the game’s original mode called Save the World. This has a van which...
LEGO Set V Source: Fortnite Peely Bone
It’s time for another look at how the LEGO® Fortnite sets compare to their in-game counterparts. Today it’s the turn of LEGO Fortnite’s adult-focused 18+ set, Peely Bone. One of the key components of Fortnite is the masses of characters it contains. There’s a healthy mix of original characters and ones from well-known franchises. Peely is an original character who was introduced to the game during Season 8. The...
