I’ve recently received a couple of LEGO magazines from over in the UK. One of these magazines is from Blocks with their latest issue #10. Some of you may not know this, but I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a couple of members of the Blocks team, Rob and Michelle, at Philly Brick Fest earlier this year. The magazine started late last year but went through a couple of personnel changes in the beginning of this year. From what I’ve been told by Rob is that they have big visions for the magazine and will continue to push out content that you may or may not find online.

As mentioned before, Issue 10 mostly focuses on the LEGO Batman theme but it’s not overwhelming as there are other themes tossed in to give it some contrast.
One of the articles I enjoyed was the LEGO Inside Tour column by Svein Tore Bidne Bøe and their first-hand experience of the event. As someone who might not have a chance to go to Billund, I do enjoy reading about others’ experiences as everyone has different perspectives.

This playthrough is for the story mode only and I’ll go back to free play after I finish the Jurassic World part of the game. That part has been delayed a little because I haven’t had time to watch the movie yet so I don’t want any spoilers just yet. I do stream the game on
