As the world grows more and more digital, Blocks remains a premium LEGO magazine packed with brick-themed content, all without algorithms or clickbait headlines.
Amidst the barrage of attention-grabbing online content, a magazine subscription may seem antiquated in 2026. After all, can’t you just get all of the same info online? But Blocks provides more than just a quick read in the checkout line – it offers a fresh 116 pages every month, without any space wasted for content that isn’t all about the world of LEGO bricks.
Blocks doesn’t claim to be an ad-free magazine — the business was and is built on advertisers. But where other magazines run two-page spreads with ads for products you’ve never even heard of, Blocks’ advertisements are curated to all be relevant to your LEGO hobby. There’s no random fluff. And they won’t interrupt you in the middle of a feature or review like they do online — a careful layout makes sure everything has its place.
Reading a print magazine isn’t just about avoiding online ads, though, and Blocks recognises this by filling its pages with content that you can’t find anywhere else. That’s right, Blocks’ features, builds, reviews and more are all exclusive to the print magazine (or digital edition, for those who prefer an e-reader). Within Blocks’ pages, you’ll find interviews with LEGO designers and creatives sharing everything from the design process behind the latest big bang theme to the deep thought that goes into conceptualising everything from an 18+ LEGO Icons set to a LEGO City fire truck. Getting a monthly LEGO magazine is a financial commitment – and Blocks wants to ensure that every page is worth the price.
Plus, being in print means that you can easily return to your favourite features time and time again without having to worry about finding the right website or sorting through your bookmarks folder. All the content is right there, all the time, easily letting you save it for later.
And perhaps the best part of reading a print magazine is the opportunity to step away from screens and online content for a few hours – just like you do when you build a LEGO set. It’s a great way to unwind and relax at the end of the day, reading a feature or two, then setting it on the nightstand to continue in the morning.
If you’d like to dip your toes into the world of physical magazines in 2026, you can purchase individual issues right here on the Blocks website. And if it turns out to be your thing, you can take out a subscription to Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, with options ranging from 3- to 24-months. Subscribing gets you each issue at a discount and will have them delivered before they hit the shops. Going offline is coming into fashion — so why not do it with high-quality, exclusive content all about your favourite hobby?
