Blocks, the monthly LEGO magazine, Issue 134

The LEGO brick is boldly going where no brick has gone before in 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D – and the design professionals discuss the incredible new set inspired by The Next Generation. Within this 116-page premium LEGO magazine you’ll also find beautiful DREAMZzz concept art, design secrets from Laura Perron, how fandom started online, an epic ghost ship model and more.

Issue 134 of the LEGO magazine is going inside the development of 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D. The 116-page publication deep dives into the LEGO world, with exclusive interviews, creative inspiration, set reviews and more. It’s the perfect companion to the hobby for a true fan.

The impossible has finally happened – LEGO Star Trek is real and the Enterprise is now an official set. Senior Model Designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer and Graphic Design Manager Crystal Fontan talk about the epic new model and reveal some of the challenges they had to overcome to make it so.

A gallery of LEGO DREAMzzz concept art from Design Master Matt Betteker is truly stunning and illustrates the words of Design Director Cerim Manovi, who provides insight into how the theme continues to explore the most fantastical realms and imbues story-driven sets with creative potential.

Senior Designer Laura Perron also shares insights that go behind the brick, as she discusses epics like 21351 Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, 21354 Twilight The Cullen House and 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. She even talks about keeping the biggest secret in Billund!

Matt Chiles has been there since the beginning – he recalls the early days of the internet and how LEGO fans used it to connect for the first time, reaching one another in a way that had once seemed impossible.

If you’re ready to do some building then there are exclusive instructions for three mini builds – a mini Star Trek Enterprise, an even smaller Wicket the Ewok from Star Wars and a fresh take on Aquanauts 2162 Hydro Reef Wrecker.

Buying boxed LEGO sets might be more your speed though, so Blocks has expert reviews of Stranger Things 40801 Mike, Dustin, Lucas & Will Figures, Disney Pixar 43279 WALL-E & EVE, Botanicals 10348 Japanese Maple Tree and more.

That’s just a taste of what is in the 116 page magazine – there is also a look at the LEGO Group’s attempts to bring electricity to models, an amazing Flying Dutchman build and a look back at what was going on with the brick in 2001.
