Brick fans ready to upgrade their hobby with a LEGO magazine print subscription can get a free Technic set and retro LEGO set book for a limited time.
A new subscription offer gives LEGO fans an extra reason to pick up the print edition of Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans. For a limited time, subscribers can get a free LEGO Technic set alongside their 12-month print magazine subscription – and those choosing a 24-month print subscription will also receive a free Blocks Book of Retro LEGO Sets.
The offer features LEGO Technic 30710 Skid-Steer Loader, a compact construction vehicle that packs some of the engineering ideas associated with the Technic theme into a small build.
The promotion runs until 11.59pm UK time on September 18, 2026, so there is limited time to take advantage of the offer. No promo code required.
This new deal coincides with the launch of The X-Files issue of Blocks, which gives you a deep dive into the set; Brent Waller reveals the decade-long journey he went on to make it happen, then Executive Producer Chris Carter shares stories about creating the series and taking it to the big screen.
Get LEGO Technic 30710 Skid-Steer Loader free
Take out a 12-month print subscription to Blocks during the promotional period and you will receive LEGO Technic 30710 Skid-Steer Loader for free.
The 52-piece set builds a compact skid-steer loader with a working function: turning the knob raises and lowers the arm and shovel. It is a small but characterful Technic model, offering a quick build that demonstrates how mechanical functions can be incorporated into a LEGO model. The set is suitable for builders aged 7 and up.
With the Blocks promotion, you can get it free when you subscribe to the print magazine for 12 months.
Subscribe for 24 months and get even more
If you choose a 24-month print subscription, you will receive the free LEGO Technic 30710 Skid-Steer Loader plus a free Blocks Book of Retro LEGO Sets: Space, Pirates and Castle.
That makes the longer subscription particularly useful for LEGO fans who enjoy both building and looking back at the history of the hobby. Alongside two years of Blocks, you will receive a Technic construction vehicle to build and a book exploring classic LEGO sets.
The Blocks Book of Retro LEGO Sets is packed with material celebrating vintage and classic LEGO, providing a chance to revisit themes and sets from the LEGO Group’s past. It complements the magazine’s coverage of the wider LEGO hobby, which regularly looks at both the latest releases and the history behind the brick.
Why subscribe to Blocks?
Blocks is the monthly LEGO magazine covering the hobby from multiple angles. Each issue combines the latest LEGO news with interviews, reviews, build inspiration, features and behind-the-scenes access to the people who design and develop LEGO sets.
The magazine focuses on the stories behind the bricks. Blocks speaks to LEGO designers and other people working within the LEGO world, providing insight into how sets are created and the decisions that shape the finished models.
The magazine also caters to builders who want to improve their own skills. Its features and building content explore techniques, ideas and approaches that can be applied to your own LEGO collection, whether you are an experienced builder or simply looking for inspiration for your next project.
There is plenty for collectors too, with coverage of new and classic LEGO sets, themes and the changing LEGO landscape. Blocks looks beyond the basic specifications of a set to consider what makes particular models interesting and their place in LEGO history.
More than just a magazine
A subscription to the print edition means receiving Blocks every month, with each issue providing a substantial collection of LEGO features to read, keep and return to.
That makes the magazine useful beyond the latest news cycle. Interviews provide insight into LEGO design, reviews can help you decide which sets are worth adding to your collection, and building features provide inspiration long after an issue first arrives.
The print edition also gives LEGO fans something physical to add to their collection – particularly appropriate for a hobby built around physical bricks and models.
And with this promotion, the subscription comes with an additional LEGO build, making the package even more appealing better for builders.
A closer look at LEGO Technic 30710
The free set is a good fit for the promotion because LEGO Technic is all about showing how models can incorporate mechanical functions and engineering principles.
The Skid-Steer Loader is a relatively small example of that approach. Its central function is operated using a knob behind the cab, which raises and lowers the loader’s arm and shovel. It is a construction-site vehicle, giving it plenty of play potential despite its compact size.
