Senior Designer Ryan Baird-Van Woerkom had the enviable task of turning the central location from cinema’s first full length animated feature into a LEGO Disney set for adults. Find out how he solved the design challenges that came with taking a 2D design and transforming it into 43242 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ Cottage.
Galidor is a theme that fans like to raise an eyebrow at – but one person has a unique perspective on the LEGO Group’s ill-fated action figure range that launched with an epic live action sci-fi TV series in 2002. Matthew Ewald was cast as Nick Bluetooth in the show and experienced the highs of being the lead in a big budget show for children – and the lows of seeing it fail due to influences outside of his control. He shares his fascinating story in an incredibly candid interview.
The goat is back! Blocks is determined not to let it get away again though, so this issue includes instructions for building a medieval farm pen. It’s flexible too – so no matter how many goats you are collecting, you can make space for all of them. There are more designer insights as Henrik Rubin Saaby explains how he continued the Castle renaissance with 10332 Medieval Town Square.
LEGO House is paying homage to the three core building systems – System, Technic and DUPLO – in the venue’s new limited edition set. Take a look at the sketch model and see how it evolved to become the finished souvenir. On the topic of systems, the first part in a new ongoing feature reveals how the foundations were laid for Modulex – a strange range of tiny bricks from the 1960s.
That barely scratches the surface of what you’ll find in Blocks Issue 114 – this month’s 116 page magazine also includes instructions for building a modern version of the classic dragon, an interview with LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya, the story of how LEGO bricks are made and much, much more.
