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.

A viewer today asked for my thoughts about a potential LEGO fan safety issue in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.  They have a friend who is abstaining from making part orders on the popular Bricklink marketplace out of fear of contamination, and wanted to know if I felt this was an overreaction.  Below was my response:"I think everyone has a right to be as safe as they feel they need to.  There's no single right answer.  The fact is, no matter what we do, the majority of people on the planet are going to contract this illness, it's just a matter of when. Even if every country completely "flattens the curve" we're not going to exterminate this virus from existence, we're just slowing its spread so healthcare systems can keep up, while also trying our best to not transmit the darn thing to particularly vulnerable fellow humans that we or...
