LEGO Advent Calendar Archives

Issue 11 of Brick Fanatics Magazine looks closer at 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer, takes 21318 Tree House into a real treehouse and previews Speed Champions in 2020 Brick Fanatics Magazine Issue 11 is available to order worldwide from today at www.brickfanatics.com/magazine via single copy purchases (with additional postage and packaging charge) and as part of 12-issue and 24-issue subscriptions (offering free postage, free issues and a subscriber guarantee). Orders will be shipped from the end of October. The 11th edition of the print publication all about LEGO leads with a special look at the latest Ultimate Collector Series release from the LEGO Star Wars team. At £649.99 / $699.99, 75252 Imperial Star Destroyer is the joint-most expensive set ever released by the LEGO Group for UK collectors, and second most expensive for US collectors after the UCS Millennium Falcon. At that level, the 4,784-piece wonder is worth our special attention this issue. Back in the real world, Brick Fanatics Magazine also takes a special look at 21318 Tree House, taking the largest Ideas set released to a unique tree house location in the New Forest. The UK national park is home to rare wildlife, protected woodland and a purpose-built education centre up in the trees, where we were lucky to spend a day with Countryside Education Trust’s Chief Executive, Jane Cooper, and play a bit of LEGO too. Issue 11 of Brick Fanatics Magazine also includes a preview of Speed Champions’ first confirmed release of 2020, as we exclusively discuss with the theme’s design lead a potentially very significant change in design format. Inside is also a closer look at the LEGO Group’s history with advent calendars – as four editions release for 2019, we crunch the numbers behind these 24-build holiday sets. There’s also a detailed look at the latest Two-Face minifigure, from 76122 Batcave Clayface Invasion. Brick Fanatics Magazine is dedicated to building your world of LEGO, and nowhere is that more apparent than in our How To section, once more packed with unique LEGO tips, tricks and techniques, including this month guides on how to brick build minifigures, how to defy gravity (photographically speaking) and how to make great use of another essential piece. This issue we combine two copies of 75947 Hagrid's Hut: Buckbeak's Rescue to build one complete Hagrid’s Hut, and show you how, we take a step back in time with classic Town set 6395 Victory Lap Raceway and our insider columns this week include discovering why the LEGO Group don’t touch fast food anymore and a LEGO designer’s visit to the ultimate LEGO fan convention, Skærbæk. Brick Fanatics Magazine is brought to you every month by a team of dedicated LEGO fans.
