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 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...

This week has been heavy on the LEGO® Magazines front, with the LEGO Minecraft magazine making its first UK appearance and the LEGO Friends Magazine making a comeback. It’s also been a week of cancellations as the New York Toy Fair decided not to go ahead this year, soon followed by the Nuremberg Toy Fair and then new that the LEGO Group wouldn’t be taking part in the London Toy Fair, despite having a suite there. This...

BricksFanz Weekly Recap Dec 27th – Jan 2nd
Happy New Year and as we enter a new year, it also means all-new LEGO® sets. January 1st has seen plenty of new sets released, but it’s not all good fun as it’s also brought about some shocking price increases in the UK, admittedly there have been some reductions as well, but the sets going up in price have done s by up to 28%.
