This planetary lander by Neomar Dethron is a great little slice of retro Sci-Fi. It reminds me of some of the personal space craft in art from the early space age, before the EVA suits that we now know were developed. The color blocking makes the Hyperflare Lander look well used, I’m also fond of the overall vertical orientation of the vehicle as well. Original linkOriginal author: Michael J

The Dinosaurs Fossils Skeletons – Natural History Collection by Mukkinn is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. The project features some skeletons similar to what you would find in a museum and some of the dinosaurs include Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Plesiosaurus. The project is the first one to reach the Third 2018 Review Stage.

LEGO has announced on the LEGO Ambassador Network blog that the company will be testing some new pop-up LEGO Brand Stores in select locations. The first one has opened up at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills in Manchester, Connecticut. The pop-up LEGO Stores will be somewhat similar to a standard LEGO Brand Store but the main difference is the layout. Some of them will have products sorted by age and the rest will be sorted by price. There are also some other differences which I have listed below from the press release post. A reason for LEGO opening up pop-up shops is that it gives kids and adults a chance to enjoy some of the fun experiences that they would’ve gotten from other stores like Toys R Us. Obviously, we don’t have TRU stores here in the US anymore so reaching out to that market is a great opportunity for LEGO...

It’s another day and another deal to tell you guys about. The LEGO Ideas Old Fishing House (21310) is currently on sale for $129.99 which is 13% off the retail price of $149.99. The set was released a year ago and as more LEGO Ideas sets are released, the older sets get retired to make more room for the newer ones. As I stated in my review, it is one of the most realistic sets that LEGO has released. If you’re still looking for good LEGO deals, the LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251) is still on sale as of this writing. Now is a great time to pick these sets up as we get closer to the holiday season and retailers start to clear out their inventory.

The Reputation Institute has done a recent survey and has announced that LEGO is the most reputable company in 2018 across the EU5 countries. Topping the E5 RepTrak rankings which include Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and the UK, LEGO was named the company with the best reputation overall over other companies such as Bosch, Rolex, Sony, and Samsung. One of the main reasons why LEGO has named the most reputable company in the EU5 was its commitment to building a strong corporate brand and investment in corporate social responsibility. You can read more about the survey in the link above. The post LEGO Named 2018 Most Reputable Company in EU5 Countries appeared first on The Brick Fan.

I’m back with another great deal on a LEGO set that’s on sale over on Amazon. The LEGO Creator Brick Bank (10251) from 2016 is currently sale for $145.70 which is 14% off the retail price. We normally don’t get discounts on these type of direct-to-consumer sets, except for using VIP points, so getting anything off is a good deal for us. Since this is an older set, it might be getting to the point where it may be retiring soon so now is the perfect time to pull the trigger on it if you’ve been holding off.

Since those very early days when people figured out mixing crushed wheat with water and getting it hot made for a pretty good snack humans have been baking. And it wasn’t long after that the art was perfected and the baker was born. Fast forward to medieval times and we meet Filia, star baker of the nine kingdoms, built by roΙΙi, and making me crave some pastries. Original linkOriginal author: Tommy
