To mark the launch of this truly epic set, Blocks has an exclusive interview focused on the set’s design, the top 10 Middle-earth minifigure and a column considering what it means when a fan-favourite theme returns.
Things also get in-depth when it comes to 21338 A-Frame Cabin. First, talented builder Andrea Lattanzio explains how he developed the original model, then the LEGO design team discuss how they delivered it as an official model. It also gets assessed in the Reviews section to see if it’s made from sturdy stuff.
Andrea isn’t the only creative fan featured this month – there’s a look at some of the finest models in LEGO House’s Masterpiece Gallery, the place where the most incredible builds are featured. David Beach also stops by for a chat about the new Pick a Brick Ideas models – he explains the unique process behind them and the thinking behind his billboard.
If those amazing builds encourage you to grab some bricks, then there are top tips for building a sci-fi world in a cohesive way that will deliver excellent results and instructions for putting together a Royal Knights battering ram.
That’s not all of course – you’ll also find a Technic supercars comparison, a look at the first ever LEGO instructions, Star Wars: The Clone Wars set reviews and much, much more this month.
