At Gamescom 2026, LEGO and Paradox Interactive has announced a new game called LEGO Skylines. If you’ve every played City Skylines, it’s a city builder where you control what goes on in your city. In LEGO Skylines, it’s pretty much the same but everything is in LEGO. There’s no release date yet but it’ll be on all the major systems including Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Build a city where everything just clicks

Create a city like no other in LEGO® Skylines. It’s a city-builder you pick up for five minutes and suddenly it’s tomorrow. Seriously, it happens. Build whatever pops into your head or get lost in the details. What happens next is up to you. Make it beautiful. Make it weird. Make it yours.

Cover the basics like electricity, food, and water. Then make it a place your citizens will love. Give them homes that one-up the neighbors. Good jobs. Great parks. Donut shops on every corner because that would be awesome. A frankly absurd amount of buildings, decorations, and other cool stuff (customization stuff) will make it easy to create a city that’s got your fingerprints all over it.

LEGO Skylines puts you in charge of, well, everything. Remember hospitals to keep everyone in one piece. Wheat for the donuts. Garbage collection, sewage, and all the other things that make a city click. How it all comes together is up to you. So stick your hard hat on and greenlight your weirdest ideas. Tweak one thing more times than

A few weeks ago, LEGO officially launched the LEGO Fan CoLab which replaces the LEGO Ambassador Network. If you didn’t know the LEGO Ambassador Network (LAN) was a centralized place where LEGO communities, LUGs, content creators, blogs, etc. could interact with each other but mainly it was for a line of communication with LEGO directly. There were also some perks for being a recognized community including access to press releases, early review sets, support for events, etc.

The new LEGO Fan CoLab builds on what they have learned on the LAN and expands on how LEGO interacts with the fan ecosystem which includes communities, creators, event organizers, media, developers, artists, builders, and many others who contribute to the LEGO fan experience. Of course, we can still interact with various recognized communities and share information.

All the participants are separated into three groups, Recognized LEGO Fan Creators, Recognized LEGO Fan Communities, and Recognized LEGO Fan Events. We here at The Brick Fan are now called a Recognition LEGO Fan Creator and LEGO has sent over a neat little sign, among other things, to help us promote both our site and the Fan CoLab itself.

Changing from the LEGO Ambassador Network to the LEGO Fan CoLab doesn’t change what we do here at The Brick Fan. We’ll still be doing the normal LEGO news and set reveals with some LEGO reviews and shopping deals thrown in here and there. Of course, we will also be attending San Diego Comic Con every summer as well so everything is business … Continue

The next LEGO One Piece set we’re checking out for season 2 of the Netflix show is Dorry vs. Brogy – Giants of Little Garden (75644). The set has 733 pieces and retails for $79.99.

Minifigures

The set has four minifigures including Zoro, Usopp, Mr. 3, and Miss Goldenweek. Zoro is in the blue shirt and pink pants that was seen in the episode. His double-sided head shows him with a smirk on one side and an angry expression on the other. His accessories include two swords Sandai Kitetsu (red) and Yubashiri (black). I don’t know why LEGO didn’t give him a third sword.

Usopp wears the brown tanktop with purple armor over part of the torso. He legs show his green camoflauge pants. His double-sided head shows a confident smile on one side and scared on the other. His accessory is his slingshot Ginga Pachinko. He also has a yellow satchel that goes around the torso.

Mr. 3 has on a striped blue and white vest with a frill in the front. His double-sided head shows him with an evil smirk on one side and a scared look on the other. His hairpiece is made of a soft rubber and has the number 3 on it. His accessories include a wax spear and a plant piece showing him spraying out wax.

Lastly we have Goldenweek who wears a blue shirt with clouds over a darker blue shirt. Her double-sided head shows her with a smile on one side and an evil scowl on the … Continue

LEGO has announced some new updates on how you can claim Insiders Rewards while shopping on the LEGO Shop. Members can now add physical rewards directly to their shopping cart while still inside the Rewards Center. This saves some extra steps such as redeeming the code, then entering the code at checkout. The points required will be deducted from your overall balance.

In addition, you are now able to add up to three physical rewards in a single transaction. Before the cart only allowed one code per order so this saves you from making multiple orders when you have pending rewards to redeem.

Apparently this rolled out a few days ago in all markets and you can use these new features now. Non-physical items like discount park tickets, etc. are still the same and you have to redeem those like before. Overall, this is a great update for just redeeming items as it saves you a few steps and you don’t have to panic and remember what codes you still have to use.
