With 116 pages packed full of interviews, reviews, concept art and building inspiration, this issue is a must-read for any LEGO fan eager to dive deeper into the hobby.

This new edition is available to order now (it makes for a great stocking filler) as a single issue or as part of a great value subscription package. There’s even a deal with a special poster if you act quickly.

Everyone who subscribes in print before December 22 will be in with a chance of winning t the enormous 75419 Death Star.

The headline feature in Issue 134 takes readers inside the development of 10356 Star Trek Enterprise with Senior Model Designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer and Graphic Design Manager Crystal Fontan, who reveal how they delivered one of sci-fi’s most iconic starships using the LEGO System. Their insights uncover the challenges and surprises that made the new LEGO Star Trek set possible. It’s a fascinating deep dive for fans of the brick and fans of Star Trek.

Beyond the spaceship, the LEGO magazine for fans continues its tradition of showcasing the artistry and imagination behind the brick. A stunning gallery of LEGO DREAMZzz concept art from Design Master Matt Betteker gives fans a glimpse into the theme’s evolving visual language. Design Director Cerim Manovi discusses how the team continues to push boundaries with sets that embrace fantasy and storytelling while encouraging children to embrace their creative expression.

In yet another exclusive interview you won’t find online, Senior Designer Laura Perron discusses blockbuster sets such as 21351 Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, 21354 Twilight: The Cullen House, and 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The talented professional opens up about the design process and talks about keeping the biggest secret in Billund from her colleagues – and even her husband.

Issue 134 also celebrates the roots of the LEGO fan community. Longtime AFOL Matt Chiles recounts the early days of the internet and how LEGO fans first connected online — creating the foundation for the massive global community that exists today. It’s fascinating to heat a firsthand perspective on how this whole thing started.

Readers looking for hands-on fun will find exclusive instructions for three exclusive mini builds: LEGO Star Trek Enterprise, a pocket-sized Wicket the Ewok from Star Wars and a fresh take on the classic Aquanauts 2162 Hydro Reef Wrecker. For those who prefer collecting, the LEGO magazine also includes detailed reviews of new releases such as Stranger Things 40801 Mike, Dustin, Lucas & Will Figures, Disney Pixar 43279 WALL-E & EVE, Botanicals 10348 Japanese Maple Tree and more.
