It has been announced that the grand opening of LEGOLAND New York this summer has been delayed until 2021. Obviously with the coronavirus situation still not anywhere close to being contained, it’s clear that it would be a bad time to open up an amusement park with hundreds of thousands of people in a single place. LEGOLAND New York was slated to be open on July 4 in Goshen, New York. In adherence to the evolving restrictions and guidance of the CDC and state and local governments in response to the coronavirus pandemic, we are delaying the opening of LEGOLAND® New York Resort until 2021. This move is consistent with the closure of venues and postponement of events worldwide. In this unprecedented and challenging time, nothing is more important to us than the health, safety and security of our guests. If you have purchased an annual pass or single-day ticket, we...

Amazon has a pretty good deal going on where you can save 40% on a LEGO set. They have a buy 2, get 1 40% off limited time deal going on where you can buy two LEGO sets and get another for 40% off. They have an extensive list of smaller sets, some of which are new ones for 2020 such as the LEGO Ninjago Arcade sets. In addition, everything on the list has already been discounted so you can get more bang for your buck. The best I think is the LEGO Star Wars Sith Troopers Battle Pack (75266) if you’re building an army of the troopers.

LEGO has released a video showcasing some of the features for the LEGO Technic Fast & Furious Dom’s Dodge Charger (42111). The main thing is the V8 engine that sticks out of the hood and it even has moving pistons. In addition, there is steering included for the front wheels which is always a plus. To give the Charger a more authentic feel, LEGO also gave it a wishbone suspension. Lastly for more of a display feature, it does have a pop out beams on the bottom of the car to recreate the last racing scene from the first film. Dom’s Dodge Charger will be available on April 27 but you can pre-order it on LEGO Shop@Home today. It has 1,077 pieces and retails for $99.99. https://www.thebrickfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/LEGO-Technic-Dom’s-Dodge-Charger-42111.mp4 The post LEGO Technic Fast & Furious Dom’s Dodge Charger (42111) Feature Video appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Well, maybe not so easy…. My old pal Dave Kaleta has finally finished his A-Z starship project. For those of you who weren’t paying attention in school, that’s 26 ships! Check out the individual posts for all the details and playability features. I especially like how the Y ship can transform from a consonant to a vowel. When the fleet is on patrol, I always stays ahead of E, except when C is in the air. And believe it or not, with all of those powerful engines, more than half of the ships can run silent. Excellent work, Dave! And check out his new contest on Flickr and Instagram. Just click the picture. Original linkOriginal author: El Barto

So you’re drawing a camel, and you’re about half done when a commercial comes on for the Kenner Star Wars Death Star playset so naturally you look up and watch. Now it’s time to continue, but which way to turn the knob? You know this one does the up and down, but which way? Oh, c’mon, you were just doing it, it’s supposed to be natural by now! Ok, let’s go clockwise…GAH! Welcome to my childhood, thanks for a dose of nostalgia derjoe. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy

Yesterday The Batman director Matt Reeves gave us a first look at the Batmobile from the movie. I’m not sure if LEGO will be doing any sets for this movie but more than likely they will since they’re pretty big on Batman. The Batmobile doesn’t have the classic feel to it and it has a suped up engine on the back. If LEGO does decide to release a set for The Batman, I wonder how they would do it, especially with the engine. The film releases on June 25, 2021 so they still have time to plan out the design.

LEGO has announced that they had a great year in 2019 and consumer sales, revenue, and profit grew. Consumer sales grew 5.6% last year compared to 2018. Their revenue grew 6% to DKK 38.5 billion. Their net profit increased 3% even though the company made investments in long-term growth initiatives. The top selling themes in no particular order for 2019 were LEGO City, LEGO Creator, LEGO Friends, LEGO Technic, LEGO Classic, and LEGO Star Wars.
