BrickaGram is Now BrickGeekz - Dimensions, Upcoming comp and more

Hey Hey

Been nearly 2 weeks since the last blog and so much has gone on .. In the BG world and the Lego world.

Firstly as always the BG stuff out the way !!


You might be wondering why the name change ? why all of a sudden would BrickaGram now be BrickGeekz


After continuing pressure from Instagram the world dominating app and my use of the word gram, In our social media network - for nearly 12 months i tried to win the right for our name BrickaGram but ultimately failed against the giants of social media -

So after a vote and much deliberation BrickaGram Is now BrickGeekz, which to me is a cooler name that depicts what we all are ...

Ok now onto Streaming news and the new Lego Dimensions wave 6 -


As you know BrickGeekz, I am a massive fan of the awesome Lego game - Dimensions and BrickGeekz has been doing live stream right from the beggning of the release of this game back in Sept 2015 - I said to myself i do no need this game it will be like infinity , yadah yadah yadah ... I was wrong, so so so wrong . I came across a very cheap second hand package with a few packs in it in a local paper and thought before i shout it down i need to try it .

And it was awesome so good in fact one of the best games i played in my many years and very different from infinity - if anyone has played any Lego games in the past with vast open worlds and building , collecting studs solving problems, upgrading vehicles  - all mixed in with some pretty hardcore level game play, This is that but with the added exception of some amazing physical characters that you place on the the interactive board that comes with it  ... which adds an all new element to it

Ok i am a Geek and proud - I love this game - It is freaking awesome . If you can get past the minor glitches and bugs - you will be made up . And the characters Lego has intelligently revived some very cool 80s characters especially for us afols ... Who could resist

But i may add this game isnt with out its problems  - for example We are stuck and cant get the last Brick on the mystery mansion mash up level - which will trigger off the minkit event in the portal dimension - I rang warner bros they are aware of the problem are are fixing it  --- ( we hope)
so basically we are stuck with this problem - sort of liekd when it wiped my save game .. it left me with a bitter tate in my mouth, but didnt stop me from going back and streaming this amazing game

After being an addict for this game owning all the first wave which consists of 5 releases over the year the new wave which is wave 6 is coming out this friday  - and we will be streaming it from friday this week ---- sweeeeeeettttt -  I almost forgot about the 4 player battle arenas that will be coming out with this new update - which is place any character on the board and fight in certain dimensions with your mates
 and of course that the base plates are no longer blue - they are gold

So here is a low down of the latest wave that is coming out  5 packs in totla and you will have to buy the ps4 starter pack to obtain the elusive super girl --- (we will have to wait for gremlins goonies and the alleged beetlejuice) 










Ghostbusters 2016 Story pack :

Dimensions have introduced the new story packs which involves a new diorama and these awesome characters from the new ghostbusters movie
