He reveals how the new colour scheme was determined, what inspired him and how he picked the films to reference in the set. Blocks also reviews the model to see if it’s everything fans have been wishing for.
Then there’s an inside look at the new Hocus Pocus set, in which the LEGO Ideas team reveal how they made sure it’s just as spooky as the classic Disney Halloween movie. You’ll also find a review of the Disney 100 minifigures – the first series of Disney Collectible Minifigures in four years!

As well as a review of 10320 Eldorado Fortress, there’s a simple build fix for the set’s only niggle.
