That’s just a small slice of Issue 118, which also includes a series of exclusive interview features. This year, the LEGO Group brought back Space, but released sets about the galaxy across City, Friends, Technic and other themes. The designers behind the ambitious project reveal the special challenges they faced and the unique opportunities they took advantage of.

Associate Creative Lead Astrid May stops by for a ‘Build & Chat’ – this new feature sees a creative LEGO person sit down with the monthly LEGO magazine’s editor for an in-depth conversation about their passion for design, their work and their journey… all while building a LEGO set. If you dream of a career in LEGO design, then these interviews will give you unrivalled insight into what it really entails.

Dave Cartlidge and Phil Wrighton visited the McLaren headquarters for the unveiling of the new LEGO Technic 42172 McLaren P1. Find out what went as they toured the facility before sitting down to build car doors with Design Manager Aurelian Rouffiange.

Famous as some of the LEGO designers may be, none of them come close to Jedi Bob. Get ready for LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy with the story of this minifigure, who is about to make an absolutely epic comeback.

Without the building blocks that the entire LEGO System is based on though, everything would literally fall apart. Why are LEGO bricks the size they are? The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks author Daniel Konstanski delves into the specific measurements that underpin clever techniques like SNOT.

If you want to do some building, then you can find exclusive instructions to build a mini version of 77092 Great Deku Tree, a mini version of 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris and a modern version of Fabuland 121 Roadster.

This month’s 116-page edition also includes the top 10 reimagined vintage LEGO characters, amazing instrument MOCs, Technic 8062 Briefcase, the unreleased tree trunk system and much, much more.
