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,...
Steven Spielberg: The Greatest LEGO Inspiration
There have been countless LEGO® sets released inspired by major motion pictures and TV shows. But there is one thread which connections many of them – Steven Spielberg.

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...
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...
Click & Snap: LEGO Dogs
It’s been a while since I’ve published a photo-themed ‘Click & Snap’ feature, but the images are popular when posted on the BricksFanz Instagram account. So here’s an expansion of the recent canine-flavour shot—neatly timed for the start of Crufts, one of the oldest and largest dog shows. One of my favourite things about LEGO® sets is the many animal figures they include. Dogs have appeared in...
LEGO Formula 1 – One Year On
As the 2025 F1 season comes to a close in Abu Dhabi, it’s the perfect time to take a look back at the first year of the partnership between the LEGO Group and Formula 1. The journey began back in September 2024, when the partnership was first announced. The first sets were then unveiled at the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November 2024. Here, the partnership was officially announced with a LEGO takeover of the Vegas Dome. As part of...
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,...
LEGO Speed Champions – What If…?
Speed Champions has become an interesting LEGO® theme. Introduced in 2015, the theme built on the extensive range of brick-built vehicles found in other themes. But instead of generic vehicles, the LEGO Group partnered with several automotive brands to recreate real-world cars as uniquely detailed, minifigure-scale vehicles. Speed Champions sets initially began as 6-stud wide vehicles, but later slightly expanded the scale to offer...
