Description
Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, is in a celebratory mood. LEGO Friends has been around for 10 years now, which means it’s time for an in-depth chat with Senior Design Director Rosario Costa and Creative Director Fenella Blaize Charity. They have been working on Friends since before it was called Friends and they reveal plenty of secrets – including the theme’s top-secret codename, why the minifigure didn’t make the cut and why Friends was built for longevity.
All prices include delivery.
That feature is illustrated with concept art, design sketched and mood boards, including exclusive imagery that has never been shown before. The Friends-fest continues with the top 10 sets, 41703 Friendship Treehouse review and This LEGO Life.
Mod Squad tinkers with 10294 Titanic, showing how to build a display base as epic as the official set itself. If you don’t want to invest in quite that many bricks though, there are a couple of entry point builds that will still enhance a display.
Titanic also leads the Reviews section that also covers Star Wars with new sets like 75322 Hoth AT-ST, Ideas 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone, new Super Mario models including 71400 Big Urchin Beach Ride and BrickLink Designer Program 910016 Sheriff’s Safe.
The designers of 10297 Boutique Hotel also provide a tour of the charming new modular building and the designer of Monkie Kid 80032 Chang’e Moon Cake Factory answers the burning questions about the wonderfully wacky model.
