It’s Prime time in Issue 93 of Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, which is leading with the unprecedented collaboration between the LEGO Group and Hasbro that has led to the Transformers Optimus Prime set. There’s also a mod guide to turn the Lightyear spaceship into a Classic Space fighter, a retrospective on Exo-Force and the full story behind why Ole Kirk Kristiansen decided to make toys.

For years, fans have dreamed of LEGO Transformers – but figured it would never happen, as Optimus Prime and friends are owned by rival toy manufacturer Hasbro. Well, it’s happened – and Blocks magazine hears from the Hasbro-turned-LEGO designer who used to work on traditional Transformers, then found himself designing a LEGO version. We also review the set to see if it’s worthy of your LEGO shelves.
All prices include delivery.
More mechs show up in Blockstalgia, where we turn our attention to the excellent Exo-Force theme from the noughties. There are reviews of the classic sets, a reminder of what the theme was all about and a modern upgrade for one model.
Going even further back in time, Blocks reveals why the LEGO Group founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen started making toys – even if you think you know this story, there are some twists and turns that will probably surprise toy.
Classic Space will enjoy this month’s mod guide, which shows how to convert a new Lightyear set into a spaceship worthy of the beloved theme that took the minifigure to infinity – and beyond.
