The book “LEGO Space 1978-1992” was recently released. Written by @newelementary editor in chief Tim Johnson, it contains 200 pages of stories and archival images of unprecedented quality- especially if you have been seeking guidance from box photos and Lo res-scans of instruction sheets. We get insight into the design process with interviews from designers who were at work during that golden era, as well as insights into how those marketing images we pored over were realised. I heartily recommend it. Throw in ephemera from across the years and an element by element blow of what defined the look of these sets, this book brings in everything you could ask for in a coffee table book about LEGO Space

I felt the Minifigures in the Nostalgic Gift with purchase 60401 Majisto’s Magical Workshop were a little lacklustre, compared to the details included in 6048. This is mostly due to retired moulds, although perhaps majisto could have been printed.

I had the chance to look at the 40601 Majisto's Workshop ahead of its release. I did my best to use the set to reconstruct the back of the box builds seen with the original version from 1993. This is how they turned out. You can read my full review on the blog at at https://ramblingbrick.com/2023/11/17/40601-majistos-workshop-review/

Let’s look inside the largest LEGO certified store in the world, which has just opened in Sydney‘s Pitt Street mall. Inside there are lots of unique models, a giant, pick a brick wall, and Australia’s first minifigure factory, where you can print minifigures with exclusive torso prints, and stickers. Thanks to @legocertifiedstores_anz for the invite… I paid for my own airfare and hotel stay.

Check out the amazing mosaic of the Sydney opera house that is on display at the Pitt Street a LEGO certified store in Sydney, which has opened today. I especially appreciated the use of color, reflecting the lights on the water and the 3-D/bas relief effect used in the construction.
