If you’re looking for a special holiday gift for your friend who loves LEGO building, we have just the surprise for you. Blocks is the LEGO magazine that publishes a new issue every month, packed with exclusive content for brick aficionados!
We know how tricky it is to buy gifts for LEGO fans. Our friends and family tell us all the time. “We don’t know what you have and don’t have!”
Most LEGO fans are already swimming in bricks. They buy in bulk to build incredible custom models, hunt down the latest official sets to add to their collection or collect hundreds of super specific minifigures.
When the holiday season rolls around, LEGO fans are usually buying the huge new sets released in October and November for themselves! The challenge with finding a gift for a friend like this always comes down to… what makes for a unique LEGO related gift that stands out to someone who doesn’t need more sets, parts or minifigures?
That’s where Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, comes in. Each issue is packed with incredible content written by people who are also passionate LEGO fans. It’s nerdy, it’s detailed and it’s perfect for the builder who always wants to know more.
Inside each magazine, you’ll find:
- Interviews with LEGO designers and other brick professionals
- Retrospectives on LEGO history
- Original research that tells new stories from the LEGO archives
- Instructions that show you how to build exclusive models
- Spotlights on amazing models and insights from the creatives behind them
- Tips and tricks for building new things with bricks you already own
Taking out a subscription to the monthly LEGO magazine is a great way to gift your friend something brick-related without adding more massive boxes to their cramped home.
Just remember to put in their address for delivery!
The latest edition of Blocks examines 21065 Sagrada Família (the largest LEGO set released to date), goes behind-the-scenes with the designer of the 2027 LEGOLAND exclusive set and contains interviews with three successful BrickLink Designer Program designers, whose models are now official sets. There are also amazing cyberpunk car builds to admire, instructions for building a tiny Batmobile and more. With 116 pages of content, a LEGO fans can find something to love in every issue.
Blocks print subscribers enjoy several perks:
- Full access to the Blocks digital archive, comprising more than 140 issues and 16,500 pages of features. Explore your favourite sets from years past and delve into an incredible repository of build guides.
- Subscribers are the first to receive monthly issues of the LEGO magazine, even before stores receive their shipment.
- The cover price of a single Blocks issue is £5.49 in-store or £6.50 for delivery (using the United Kingdom as an example). But a 12-month subscription costs only £59 in the UK, a saving of £19 – essentially three free issues per year.
- Exclusive discounts on select Blocks merchandise.
- The opportunity to win at least one new prize every single month.
If your friend has been a LEGO enthusiast for a few years, the digital archive may be the best subscription perk of all. They can roll back the clock and discover features from years past, including contemporary set reviews of their favourite models. A subscription to the magazine is a great way for any LEGO fan to stay connected to the fandom while remaining grounded with physical reading material, instead of resorting to endless social media scrolling and video-watching.
The Blocks team writes varied, thoughtfully-researched content that delves deeper than the typical LEGO media you’ll find online. As a result, the LEGO fan in your life will find it to be a thoughtful gift.
