Start your subscription with Issue 142
Your subscription begins with Blocks Issue 142, another packed 116-page edition featuring exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes access, expert reviews, inspiring fan creations and fascinating LEGO stories you won’t find anywhere else.
This month’s cover feature goes inside the most impressive LEGO Marvel set of the year – 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. The Helicarrier has become one of the defining vehicles of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Blocks sits down with Senior Designers Mark Stafford and Mark Tranter to discover how the enormous flying fortress was transformed into an impressive display model.
In an exclusive interview, the designers explain the creative decisions behind the project, the engineering challenges involved in recreating such an iconic vehicle and the countless refinements that helped bring the Avengers’ airborne headquarters to life in LEGO bricks.
Behind the launch of Pokémon SMART Play
Issue 142 also takes readers behind the scenes of one of the LEGO Group’s biggest new launches.
The creative team responsible for the new Pokémon SMART Play range explains how they developed an entirely new theme, revealing how they balanced technology with traditional brick-building while staying true to the LEGO values of creativity, quality and imaginative play. Discover how the designers built a new world for Pokémon fans and learn about the wish-fulfilment play loop that sits at the heart of the collection.
The story behind Main Street, U.S.A.
Disney fans can also enjoy an exclusive feature with Bri Bertolaccini, Content and Research Manager at The Walt Disney Family Museum.
As LEGO set 43302 Main Street, U.S.A. celebrates the entrance to Disneyland, Bri explores the rich history of this iconic location, explaining its significance to Walt Disney and highlighting many of the authentic references and hidden details incorporated into the LEGO model.
