The 1990s gave us more than that popular sitcom though – it was also the decade that saw LEGOLAND Windsor open, the only brick-based theme park in the UK. To celebrate the park’s 25th anniversary, the original model making crew share their stories of getting it ready for opening.
There’s also a look into the creation of two new sets – 10282 adidas Originals Superstar and 21327 Typewriter. Both are real life items recreated using LEGO elements, but they presented different challenges and different paths to product, as the set designers reveal.
Are your old bricks turning yellow? A Blocks experiment tests out a method for returning old pieces to their original colour – and provides a conclusion for anyone who’s thinking about trying to get those 1980s elements back to their glory days.
Moving on to the Review section, there’s a look at the Harry Potter 20th anniversary models, 21056 Taj Mahal, the LGBTQIA+ set 40516 Everyone is Awesome, VIDIYO stages and 21325 Medieval Blacksmith.
In Technique, there’s a guide to building ladders for LEGO characters, so your minifigures will be able to reach new heights.
