Back in the day, before the 1999 arrival of LEGO Star Wars products hit the market ahead of The Phantom Menace, the best way to get your galactic kicks and be a LEGO fan was via their hugely nostalgic LEGO Space sets, and the 113th issue of Blocks Magazine which hits UK shelves on 7th March dips into that, along with a slew of other bricktastic sets and figures.
Blocks magazine Issue 113 is absolutely packed with interviews and insights into LEGO experiences new and old – find out how a fan’s Telephone Box model became an official set, discover the monorail system that could have been and get the story behind LEGO House’s newest experience.
Issue 113 is available worldwide as part of a subscription or a single issue at blocksmag.com now and will be in UK stores from March 7.
We’re giving away two 21347 Red London Telephone Box sets! To be in with a chance of winning, take out a subscription before April 3, 2024. You’ll be entered into a new draw every month for the duration of your subscription!
In Issue 113, LEGO fan John Cramp and LEGO Designer Marina Stampoli discuss taking a British icon and delivering it as a compelling, attractive model to build and display. Senior Designer Sven Franic then talks about a very different challenge – analysing the natural, irregular shape of a kingfisher and capturing it in a beautiful Icons set.
There’s one classic piece of LEGO transportation that is universally loved by fans – the monorail. Only a few Town and Space sets using the monorail cars and track were released in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but there was so much more on the drawing board for this system. Blocks has a tantalising peek into an alternate future!
Returning to the present, LEGO House has just opened the new Build the Change experience. Find out what it’s all about and how the creative team behind it found a way to deliver sustainability in a way that appeals to guests of all ages.

That’s just a taste of what’s in Blocks magazine Issue 113 – this month’s 116 pages also contain the real reason stickers are so common, LEGO food that looks good enough to eat, the dangers of bat-obsession and much more.
