BricksFanz Weekly Recap March 7th – 13th
The past week has been a pretty Nintendo heavy one, thanks to MAR10 or Mario Day if you prefer. Not only has this seen new set bundles and GWP offers, but it’s also revealed a number of new LEGO Super Mario sets along with the introduction of LEGO® Princess Peach. We’ve also learnt that a lot of people bought a lot of LEGO throughout 2021. This has seen the LEGO Group record increased sales of up to 22% against 2020 and a...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Feb 28th – March 6th
Another week is over and as we’ve slipped into a new month, it’s been a week full of new LEGO® releases. As well as the release of the Vespa and Real Madrid Stadium, there’s been plenty of other great new sets making their debut, including BrickHeadz, DOTS, Technic, Star Wars and Harry Potter. Plus for a limited time, you can get a free set inspired by Jane Goodall. This week has also seen the release of the third...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Feb 21st – 27th
This past week, the relevance of what’s happening in the world of LEGO® news seems rather frivolous. The actual news is filled with very scary images but if you what a brief moment of escape, here’s the latest brick-based news and reviews. A few new LEGO sets have been unveiled this week, including Thor’s Goa Boat, a Jane Goodall GWP and not one but two Vespas. I also got to take an early look at Boba Fett’s...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Jan 14th – Feb 20th
As the UK is battered by numerous storms, it’s given me the perfect opportunity to get some LEGO® sets built and play a lot of Horizon Forbbiden West. It’s also been a week of new set reveals as two more sets based on The Book of Boba Fett have been unveiled alongside a new Spider-Man set and a third football stadium. But for me, the most exciting reveal was the Tallneck from hit PlayStation Studios title, Horzion. I love...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Jan 7th – Feb 13th
What an interesting week it’s been with some equally interesting rumours and reveals. I’m sure no one had Spice Girls and Transformers on their 2022 LEGO® scorecard. On the subject of Transformers, the wild rumours burning up the forum boards suggest the LEGO Group and Hasbro would be partnering to create a buildable Optimus Prime set. It would be an interesting development and as a fan of G1 Transformers I’ll...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Jan 31st – Feb 6th
It’s been another week filled with new set reveals, including the Elvis LEGO® ART set, a new Mandolarian set, a buildable version of Thor’s hammer, more Star Wars Helmets and a pair of Rescue Rangers BricksHeadz. Plus a few new sets were launched, with the LEGO Ideas Globe being the highlight. The LEGO VIP Rewards Centre added a couple of new physical items with a celebration of LEGO Friends also offering a chance to win a...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Jan 24th – 30th
It’s been a very odd week in the world of LEGO®. Firstly a LEGO set released in 2018 won a 2021 British Toy of the Year award and then Zavvi went all 90s with a QVC-style LEGO live event on an app no one has ever heard of. Then a new GWP began with the Vintage Taxi, a set connected to the Modular Hotel, which was released a few weeks ago. It has an outrageous spend limit, one which is way over the RRP of the set it’s...
BricksFanz Weekly Recap Jan 17th – 23rd
The big news to drop this week was the release date for LEGO® Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. The long-delayed game will finally arrive in early April and it seems its development has been extremely troubled. Reports claim the studio suffered from poor management choices, difficult to use game engines and a mass exodus of staff. The same reports do suggest TT Games will continue to work solely on LEGO titles although this could change...
