If you have discovered the joys of LEGO bricks but are not sure how to get deeper into the hobby, then the monthly LEGO magazine for fans might be the next step for you.
Every LEGO fan knows the joy of building an official set or using bricks from their own collection to create an impressive custom build. Builders of all ages love creating with LEGO bricks, but there are many other ways to engage with the hobby.
There’s a myriad of online LEGO content out there, especially short form video that grabs your attention but doesn’t offer you the detail you’re looking for – after a while, you’re watching other people enjoy the hobby instead of enjoying it yourself!
A subscription to Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, is a great way to stay in touch with the tactile world of bricks and enhance your hobby with real deep dive content. You can choose between 12 month and 24 month options – and buy an individual magazine if you need to try it out before committing.
Blocks is the ultimate magazine for LEGO fans. There is a new 116 page issue every month!
Each edition of Blocks includes;
- in-depth interviews with LEGO professionals
- behind-the-scenes features on how LEGO sets and experiences are crafted
- expert LEGO set reviews
- exclusive build instructions
- tips and tricks for levelling up your build skills
- nostalgic articles about retro LEGO sets
- in-depth looks at LEGO history
Opening up an issue is a great way to branch out into a new part of the building world while taking a little break from the bricks themselves, but without resorting to a screen.
You can discover new products, find some inspiration for your next custom build or discover how other fans (and professionals) are innovating with LEGO bricks.
If you’ve been a solo builder up to now, plugging into the wider LEGO fan ecosystem is a natural next step – and if you’re already part of a community, Blocks magazine still helps you stay up to date on all the new developments (it’s a lot to keep track of!).
Blocks subscribers get several perks compared to buying the magazine monthly.
- financial savings – the cover price of a single Blocks issue is £5.49 in-store or £6.50 for delivery (in the United Kingdom). But a 12-month subscription costs only £59 in the U.K., a saving of £19. Think of it as three free issues each year!
- Subscribers in the rest of the world can save even more – you can find out more on the subscriptions page. Subscribers are also the first to receive monthly issues of Blocks magazine – subscription orders are filled before individual orders and before the issue hits store shelves.
- More importantly, as a LEGO fan, you probably want to go back and read some older articles – like reviews of your favourite sets from years past. Well, you’re in luck! Blocks magazine subscribers get full access to the digital archive, comprising over 140 issues and more than 16,500 pages of features. You can search for the topics that interest you and discover features that are new to you!
In recent issues of the monthly LEGO magazine, Blocks has covered popular themes including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, DC and Bionicle. There’s even a whole section dedicated to retro sets called The Classics – it covers vintage models from Castle, Space, Pirates and more iconic themes.
These articles are crafted by true LEGO experts. Our Reviews team have built thousands of LEGO sets between them, while Build Expert Daniel Konstanski is the author behind The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks and Editor Graham E. Hancock is the author behind LEGO Star Wars: The Force of Creativity, LEGO Heroes and LEGO Family Fun Challenges. Build Specialist Simon Pickard has contributed models to numerous official LEGO books through the years.
If you’ve read those books, you’ll be thrilled by the deep way that Blocks magazine dives into the LEGO universe.
Engaging with the monthly magazine deepens your connection to LEGO bricks. Picking up a magazine and discovering articles written with care by true enthusiasts isn’t comparable to consuming quick, digital content. Our monthly schedule and the support of our subscribers allows the Blocks team to create in-depth, long-form content full of detail you just can’t get anywhere else.
