Odom to discover the details and the moments that made history, whilst Creator Expert Design Manager Specialist Jamie Berard reveals how those shaped the design of the LEGO Group’s 10266 Lunar Lander.

We also find out from Design Manager Marcos Bessa all about how a crazy concept became a unique LEGO set in the form of 75938 T. rex vs Dino-Mech Battle.

Issue 8 also goes from one Buzz to another, as we take a special look at the latest LEGO Buzz Lightyear, before heading back 20 years in time to discover just how innovative the Adventurers line was, with a look at the classic 5988 Temple of Anubis set.
