It’s time to head back to where it all began in Issue 127 of the monthly LEGO magazine for fans. In an exclusive interview, Model Designer Kenyon Brady and Design Manager Ashwin Visser reveal what went into designing 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire and how they included Tolkien deep cuts for the fans.
All prices include delivery.
The Reviews section takes a look at the new Formula 1 sets, including models from Icons and Speed Champions. If fantasy is more your thing though, DREAMZzz set are also carefully considered to see if they are packed with imaginative storytelling.
All of these modern sets might never have been though if an early 2000s initiative had panned out – Project Genesis was a plan for the LEGO Group to move away from the brick at a time when the company was in deep trouble. This deep dive reveals the extent to which the brick was at risk of being replaced.
Fortunately, the LEGO brick is more popular than ever before – but some children don’t have access to such luxury items. The Toy Project is a charity in London with two key goals; to provide children from all backgrounds with play and to reduce the number of toys going to landfill. Blocks pays a visit to the playroom to see how this is all being achieved.
Three LEGO sets have been miniaturised this month – Star Wars 75409 Jango Fett’s Starship, NINJAGO 71832 Thunderfang Dragon of Chaos and Power Miners 8964 Titanium Command Rig. You cam build the scaled down builds using the exclusive instructions in the magazine.
Master Builder Didac Perez Soriano is this month’s Build & Chat interviewee, revealing what his unique role at LEGO House entails. He discusses his own specific journey from a fan builder to a professional brick creative, which led to unique projects including capturing the spirit of classic Fabuland illustrations, turning the fantastical spacecraft of children into a drone show and building a band made up of food items.
This edition of the 116-page magazine also includes a build project that expands 60422 Seaside Harbour with Cargo Ship, top 10 troop transports, how building can help you through challenging times and much, much more.
