Description

Issue 114 of Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, is covering LEGO themes past and present with exclusive features, interviews and builds. There’s a look inside the design of 43242 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Cottage, an interview with the actor who played Nick Bluetooth in Galidor, the story behind the return of the LEGO goat, the origins of Modulex and much, much more.

All prices include delivery.

Senior Designer Ryan Baird-Van Woerkom returns to the pages of Blocks to discuss how he took Disney’s original animated movie, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and delivered a LEGO model worthy of its legendary status.

Every brick fan knows the fate of Galidor – the ambitious action figure product range from the LEGO Group in the early 2000s was ill conceived and poorly marketed. Matthew Ewald has a unique perspective on it though, because he was the star of the sci-fi television series developed in tandem with the toys – he was the real Nick Bluetooth. In an exclusive interview, he explains the highs and lows he experience with Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension.

No LEGO fan has missed the news that the goat is back – the critter has been missing from LEGO sets for a decade, but has made a triumphant return. Exclusive build instructions show you how to build an olde world pen for the farmyard animals.

The set that the goat returned in is 10332 Medieval Town Square and the designer behind the bustling location explains how he delivered the appealing follow-up to 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle.

The designers of the new LEGO House exclusive set, 40505 LEGO Building Systems, talk about how they did justice to System, Technic and DUPLO, while LEGO Certified Professional Nathan Sawaya celebrates the return of The Art of the Brick to London.

That’s not all! Within the 116-page magazine you’ll also find a review of new Speed Champions sets, instructions to build a classic Castle dragon, the origins of Modulex, how bricks are made and much, much more.
