Brick Fanatics Magazine Issue 10 in UK stores

Issue 10 of Brick Fanatics Magazine is in UK stores now, with a special look at 30 years of LEGO Pirates, as well as Hidden Side and 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer

2019 sees the 30th anniversary of LEGO Pirates, the LEGO Group’s fourth ever line that back in 1989 introduced a lot of firsts for the company.

From named characters with unique face prints to plenty of new pieces and a story expertly integrated into the design and marketing of the sets, Pirates paved the way for a lot of what the resulting three decades have offered.

Issue 10 sees Brick Fanatics Magazine sit down with the lead designer who worked on Pirates, bringing to life a number of your childhood classics, including 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. From an era at the LEGO Group very different to today, find out what it meant to be a LEGO designer in 1989, alongside some exclusively produced imagery inspired by Pirates.
