As one of the year’s most impressive models yet, 11377 Minas Tirith deserves attention – and LEGO Designers François Zapf and Nicola Belfiore take Blocks through the development process behind this awe-inspiring The Lord of the Rings set.

Fantasy fans will also enjoy the Reviews section, where Blocks builds and assesses the latest Harry Potter sets to see just how magical they are, before taking a look at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day sets and the sizable 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Builders who prefer sci-fi to fantasy can discover an exclusive interview with Design Manager Henrik Rubin Saaby, focusing on how he crafted 77984 Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler to be four iconic versions of the classic vehicle in one box, as well as his passion for the dino-packed film franchise.

Christian Faber then presents a look at the concept art he created for Hero Factory, the short-lived constraction theme that followed BIONICLE. The lore was intended to be much larger than what was actually released and this inside glimpse provides a taste of what could have been.

Elsewhere inside the 116 page magazine you’ll also find a beautiful brick-built Tiffany lamp, amazing summer creations, top 10 castles and much, much more.
