Happy holidays! It’s the Blocks Christmas Minifigure

Posted by Tom Saunderson in NewsLeave a comment

There is a new exclusive minifigure for LEGO fans to ring in the festive season with – Blocks Christmas Minifigure is in stock and available now.

Following up the popular Blocks Postman Minifigure, we are delighted to introduce the Blocks Christmas Minifigure. It’s a brand new, exclusive character that uses official, authentic LEGO parts featuring bespoke printing.

With Christmas approaching, this LEGO character is the perfect gift for Blocks fans, with the minifigure sporting a festive jacket and British waistcoat – a nod to Blocks magazine’s home country. As well as featuring a jolly Santa hat, the minifigure comes with an exclusive 2×2 tile. It reads ‘Merry Christmas 2020 from Blocks’, making this the perfect gift this year.

To really customise the minifigure, you can of course swap out the head with others from your collection. We’d love to see the scenes you build and incorporate the minifigure into!

Prices for this exclusive Blocks minifigure start at £11.50 – this special edition character is available to buy now.

For those ordering a print subscription, there’s a special deal – using the code Xmas1 at checkout, Blocks Postman Minifigure costs just £5.99 within the UK and gets a hefty discount for international fans.

Check out the latest issue of Blocks magazine and the 12-month and 24-month subscriptions available in our store. We also have a direct debit payment option available – email subs@silverbackpublishing.rocks for more information.

Do you want to get creative with your holiday decorations this year? Then why not build some LEGO ornaments! This Gingerbread Man can be built, adapted and then hung from the Christmas tree.

There’s nothing better than getting creative at Christmas. The great thing about building LEGO holiday decorations is that anyone can do it, so you can share this activity with family and friends.

Here are official LEGO instructions showing how to build a LEGO Gingerbread Man decoration that can be hung from the Christmas tree.

See those decorated 1×1 tiles? They are from the LEGO DOTS theme and are only available in one pack, so it’s a good idea to switch them out for something else from your collection.

To make the image bigger click on it, then right-click on it and save the image to make it easier to use.

Be sure to customise your character as you see fit and share a picture with Blocks on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

For every LEGO Christmas decoration shared using the #BuildtoGive hashtag, a LEGO set will be donated by the Danish company to a child in need.

Have you seen the new Blocks Christmas Minifigure? It’s another perfect LEGO decoration for your home this Christmas!

Five Blocks gifts for the LEGO fan in your life this Christmas

Posted by Tom Saunderson in NewsLeave a comment

We know how it goes – you need a gift for the LEGO fan in your life at Christmas, but they seem to have everything. Well, here are some ideas for the 2020 holiday that might not already be part of that enormous LEGO collection…

Blocks Postman Minifigure

This is the latest exclusive minifigure from Blocks. Who better to capture as a minifigure than the postal worker who brings the magazine every month? The character uses official LEGO parts, including two 2×2 tiles. One of them says ‘happy birthday’, but this gift still works for Christmas too. If the head isn’t to your taste, you can switch it out for another in your collection to customise the character.

Blocks subscription gift packages

What’s the gift that gives the entire year-round? A blocks subscription! Ordering a subscription to the magazine will mean that every month, the brick aficionado in your life will get a fresh magazine packed with exclusive insight into the world of LEGO. The magazines will arrive ahead of the shops and they’ll also be entered into a monthly prize draw!

Two special gift packages include extra items too. The Gift Bundle includes a Blocks t-shirt and minifigure, while the Subscription Bundle and Binder includes a t-shirt, minifigure and binder.

Blocks magazine Binder

That collection of Blocks shouldn’t be haphazardly sat on a desk in a pile, it should be carefully filed away into Blocks magazine binders so it can go on the shelf. Navy storage binders with an embossed Blocks logo are the perfect way to store a Blocks reader’s collection.

Blocks t-shirt – with exclusive minifigure

Blue and black tees featuring the Blocks logo small on the front and large on the back are available in a variety of sizes. They are the perfect way to encourage your LEGO fan to take off that ugly Christmas jumper they insist on wearing. What’s more, each t-shirt comes with an exclusive Blocks magazine minifigure, which uses official LEGO parts.

Blocks magazine Cover Tiles

Sure, your LEGO fan might have dozens and dozens of copies of Blocks, but do their minifigures? These 2×2 LEGO tiles, printed with Blocks covers, are the perfect way to add a bit of Blocks to any minifigure scene. They are the right size to fit into the little character’s hands, so even the minifigures can express their fandom.

For advice on buying any of the items above, contact subs@silverbackpublishing.rocks.
