Today, LEGO celebrates the 130th birthday of Ole Kirk Kristiansen, the founder of the company. Ole jump started a company with wooden toys that would eventually evolve into our favorite building toy with the help of his son Godtfred. Unfortunately, Ole wouldn’t be able to see the success of the building blocks but his spirit lives on in the creations that we build. If you haven’t seen the animated story of LEGO, I highly suggest it which you can check out below. The post LEGO Celebrates Ole Kirk Kristiansen’s 130th Birthday appeared first on The Brick Fan.

For those who are still looking for the LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292), the LEGO Shop now has it back in stock. The set came back last month but quickly went out of stock. I’ve seen some rumors online saying that this is one of the sets that could be retiring at the end of the year. I’m not sure how accurate that is but it puts the thought into minds of people who may have FOMO. Currently, there are no promotions running on the LEGO Shop but you do get 845 VIP points out of it. The Razor Crest is also available on Amazon if you like to shop on there. The post LEGO Star Wars The Razor Crest (75292) Back in Stock on LEGO Shop – April 2021 appeared first on The Brick Fan.

Back in January, I reported that we could be getting a LEGO Marvel Collectible Minifigures (71031) series and many fans started wondering which characters we could be getting. There are new rumors reported by Just2Good from Instagram user 1414FalconFan that the series could be based on some of the Marvel Disney+ shows including WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, and the What If..? series. If rumors are true, this would be a very interesting series as WandaVision has lots of cool outfits for the characters. The Falcon and Winter Soldier ones could be bland but a Baron Zemo and Sharon Carter would be nice. For Loki, the green tuxedo with the Horned Helmet outfit could be possible. I don’t even want to speculate on the What If…? ones since there’s so many characters for that one. If Uatu/The Watcher is one of the minifigures, I’d be happy. What do...

It looks like there’s some new LEGO Speed Champions sets that have hit Target a bit early as some fans have found a new one called the Mopar Dodge//SRT Top Fuel Dragster and 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A (76904) on store shelves. In fact, I believe multiple people have found it at different locations. Brickfinder reports that one person was able to purchase it while another on Reddit was denied purchase. The set has 627 pieces and retails for $49.99. The release date is up in the air as one store said it was street dates for August 1 while some day that the release date is in June. The set also is in the running for the longest set name ever.

Continuing with the space related theme for April, LEGO has posted a new LEGO DUPLO set coming in May called the Space Shuttle Mission (10944). The set has 23 pieces and retails for $19.99. The set is really cute with the DUPLO shuttle and two astronauts.

Yesterday, I reported that a few projects on the BrickLink Designer Program had been withdrawn by the designer and archived and it looks like there’s a reason why. After I posted the article, I’ve gotten a lot of messages directing me to a German company called BlueBrixx that sells sets using clone bricks. If you look at the products they have, the three projects that were on BrickLink are being sold there with reviews of them being up as late as last November. In addition, they are listed as authorized by RA-MT Brick Design which is Robert Bontenbal’s (RobenAnne) site. I’ve been told that he has a deal with BlueBrixx but I can’t confirm if that’s the reason why he has withdrawn the projects from BrickLink. LEGO technically owns BrickLink so working with a competitor isn’t really a good look. Obviously, it’s disappointing to see that BrickLink won’t be able to...

A few weeks ago, I talked about some of the rumored LEGO Harry Potter 2021 sets and a few of them will include golden minifigures to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the theme. It looks like that has been confirmed as Wizarding World has posted an image showing all six golden minifigures that we will be able to get. These minifigures include Harry Potter, Voldemort, Severus Snape, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Profeesor Quirrell.

The BrickLink Designer Program is well underway in the pre-production phase and recently there has been projects that have been removed from the program. Robert Bontenbal, aka RobenAnne, had three project running which were the Boat House Diner, Boat Repair Shop, and The Dive Shop but “due to other obligations,” he has withdrawn them. Bontenbal was also the fan designer for the LEGO Ideas Old Fishing Store (21310) and fans were excited in potentially adding some more buildings with the same aesthetic, but alas, we won’t be able to. There’s no other reasoning behind the withdrawl it but it’s disappointing. Due to other obligations the designer has had to withdraw this design from the program. We hope that we will be able to work with the designer again in the future! The post RobenAnne Withdraws Projects from BrickLink Designer Program appeared first on The Brick Fan.

If you watched the designer video for the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283), you may have seen a mysterious brick-built helmet in the background. Sitting on the back shelf behind Milan is a red helmet that looks very much like a Star Wars Rebel helmet. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the items on display and there are four shots in the video at different angles to give a good look at it. One particular moment at 3:10 where Nico steps back to show off it a bit more, somewhat saying “look at that helmet”. We already know that LEGO likes to throw in teasers and Easter eggs in their videos and sets and this is a space-themed video. I’m going making a giant leap and saying that it could be a prototype of a new LEGO Star Wars life-size helmet line similar to the Hasbro...
