To celebrate the return of Jedi Bob and official arrival of Darth Jar Jar, Blocks is launching a limited edition, A1 double-sided poster featuring stunning photography of the two minifigures, also available now at blocksmag.com.

Space is back! City, Friends, Technic and other themes have travelled through the stars this year, with a consistent colour scheme and design language across the models. It took a new way of thinking to make it happen though – and the designers behind the project explain how they worked across themes in an exclusive interview.

Without the building blocks that the entire LEGO System is based on though, none of this would work. Why are LEGO bricks the size they are? The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks author Daniel Konstanski delves into the specific measurements that underpin clever techniques like SNOT.
The Blocks team visits McLaren’s headquarters for the unveiling of the new Technic supercar, 42172 McLaren P1. See beautiful photography from the special occasion and read about how the two brands engineered this collaboration.

Reviews is packed with intriguing sets this month, including 21350 JAWS, Animal Crossing, City’s Exo-Force redux and roller coaster combo 60421 Robot World, 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy and much more.

There’s plenty more besides in this month’s magazine, including instructions to build a mini The Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree model, the top 10 reimagined retro minifigures, amazing instrument MOCs and much, much more.
