Description

Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, kicks off 2022 with Issue 87 and a review of the enormous new LEGO Star Wars 75313 AT-AT set. Should the designers have gone so big? Are those thousands of pieces put to good use? Find out whether this is one worth saving up for.

All prices include delivery.

That’s just the opener for a Reviews section that also takes a tour of 10297 Boutique Hotel to find out if it’s worth booking a stay and checks out the 150th BrickHeadz set, Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Architecture, Jurassic World, City, Friends and Batman models are also covered this month.

We’ve also got a great justification for your LEGO hobby in a feature that sees experts confirm that play is good for you – find out the ways that adults are using play in positive ways and be proud of your brick-based life.

Our exclusive interviews in Issue 87 lead with LEGO Ideas Design Manager Sam Johnson – he’s been at the LEGO Group for more than a decade and he’s got some great insights into what it’s like to be part of the design team in Billund. From his story of landing the dream job to working on the Ideas Voltron set, this extended conversation covers a lot of ground.

There’s also a chat with the Hagemans, who many fans will know as the showrunners of NINJAGO for most of its run – but did you know they also came up with the first treatment for The LEGO Movie? LEGO House CEO Jesper Vilstrup also stops by to tease what’s coming to the Home of the Brick in 2022 and to reflect on 2021.
