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...

LEGO has revealed SPOTS, a new extension of the DOTS product line targeted at boys. The initial wave of the 2D tile-based crafting theme features armbands, expressive emoji picture holders, a flaming skull pencil pot, and the first in a series of “Extra SPOTS” emoji booster packs surrounding space exploration. Prices vary from US $4.99 to $19.99 with availability beginning later this summer. The creation of SPOTS is partially due to feedback on LEGO’s successful DOTS product line for exclusively targeting girls with bright colors, pastel packaging and glitter. The SPOTS theme again features building with 1×1 tiles (square, round, and quarter-circle tiles), but this time uses more black, white, red and blue colors along with unique prints of bugs, fire, road signs, grotesque emojis and space artifacts that more easily align with boys’ interests. LEGO states that the intent of the SPOTS line is to offer boys a creative canvas...
