A spotlight is shined on some of the talented LEGO fans on Instagram, as some of the prominent photographers who are showing off their beautiful images reveal the inspiration behind their creativity.

Blocks also pays a visit to the Natural History Museum, where imaging expert Dr Steen Dupont is using marvelous LEGO contraptions to photograph the millions of tiny specimens that are housed within the insect collection.

Johnny Thunder makes a dramatic entrance in Blockstalgia, swinging over chasms, springing booby traps and uncovering Egyptian artifacts. He even has a new ride, with exclusive instructions showing how to build a modern rendition of the classic Scorpion Tracker.
