Issue 79 of Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, gets under the dome of R2-D2. The beloved Star Wars character who speaks in beeps and boops has a new LEGO set – 10278 R2-D2 – so we’re celebrating the heroic droid with an exclusive interview. Don Bies and Lee Towersey reveal how they brought the character to life for the prequels, sequels and a few appearances in between.

It’s not just the Star Wars sound stages that the stories come from though, with the LEGO design team in Billund sharing their secrets. A special feature looks at the design process behind the Winnie the Pooh set that came from a fan’s imagination, including a look at how the Eeyore figure was developed. For fans of real-world LEGO models, we also get the low-down on 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery from the model and element designers who worked on it.
There’s a stacked Reviews section in Issue 79 – as well as reviews of the new Star Wars sets, 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery and 21326 Winnie the Pooh, we cast a careful eye over the new Looney Tunes Collectible Minifigures, Marvel sets, Harry Potter builds and 42125 Ferrari 488 GTE ‘AF Corse #51’.
It wouldn’t be a LEGO magazine without some build inspiration, and the Technique guide demonstrates how to provide tech for your minifigures – from sleek modern machines to retro 1990s PCs. In Blockstalgia, there’s a modern version of King Kahuka’s throne from the Pirates Islanders subtheme, with instructions showing how to build it.
