Blocks 104

Indiana Jones is wearing the hat and cracking the whip again, back on the cinema screen where he belongs as he pursues the Dial of Destiny. His return to the LEGO world has been an absolute treat for fans, and this month Design Master Harald Pofahl reveals some of the secrets behind the ingenious Raiders of the Lost Ark temple set.

For LEGO fans, though, the original archaeologist hero will always be Johnny Thunder. He bears a striking similarity to Niels Milan Pedersen, so in a special feature, we ask the legendary designer all about LEGO Adventurers. If you’ve ever wondered where else that 1990s theme could have gone, you’re in luck – we have a peek at previously unseen concepts that were never realised.

If your preferred Lucasfi lm franchise is the one set in a galaxy far, far away though, that’s covered too this month. Design Manager Michael Lee Stockwell tells us how the team revisited the X-wing for the Ultimate Collector Series and Blocks alum Jme Wheeler is back to share what a LEGO designer’s day at Star Wars Celebration looks like.

It’s the time of year when amazing construction models start showing up all over our social media feeds, so we’re getting the scoop on Bio-Cup, the annual contest that encourages builders to use the trickiest of all pieces to construct incredible creations.

There’s plenty more besides, including a packed Reviews section featuring Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Avatar: The Way of Water and Disney 100.

Leg godt!
