The sixth edition of the print publication all about LEGO leads with a striking cover image of Iron Man, to mark a seven-year minifigure retrospective inside. We take a detailed look through Tony Stark’s brick wardrobe thanks to some stunning photography, a clever workshop build and a fascinating write-up.

This issue of Brick Fanatics Magazine, now on sale in WHSmith stores across the UK – you can locate your nearest store here – also includes an interview with Cambridge University’s Professor of Play. We find out what research £4m from the LEGO Foundation can actually fund.

There’s also a LEGO Movie 2 Movie Maker walkthrough that offers insight into the LEGO Group’s philosophy on digital and physical play; a visual exploration of the Creator Expert Ford Mustang; and a How To section packed with some fantastic tips, tricks and techniques, including a guide to building your own displays for the Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 2.

Meanwhile, US LEGO fans can drop into their nearest Barnes & Noble store to collect a copy of Issue 5 of Brick Fanatics Magazine. This issue leads with an amazing double interview that goes back 20 years to the very start of LEGO Star Wars. We hear from two of those who ventured out to Skywalker Ranch and were involved, in two different ways, in the creation of a theme that is now into its third decade.

We also attempt to pick out the five most definitive LEGO Star Wars sets – do you agree with our choices?

San Francisco is also the setting for a truly eye-opening set walkthrough, as LEGO designer Rok Žgalin Kobe talks us through the creation of the Architecture skyline set, 21043 San Francisco.
