LEGO 10291 Queer Eye – The Fab 5 Loft is something fresh in the range, so Blocks magazine speaks to LEGO Vice President of Design Matthew Ashton to get the full story of how it came to be, illustrated with minifigure development art. Bobby Berk, the Fab Five’s interior design guru, drops in to talk about his collaboration with Matthew.

Nostalgic for airports and easy international travel? Blockstalgia heads back to Town and admires those amazing, baseplate heavy airports, before providing a step-by-step guide to building a modern version of 6536 Aero Hawk.

Look at Spider-Man’s and Captain Carter’s left legs!
They wanted to make the shot a bit more dynamic than is normally possible, is all.

Indeed. Also Wanda’s right arm, Monica’s left leg, Zombie Cap’s head and possibly T’Challa’s head (hard to say). I suspect some Blu Tack or similar was involved.
Yes, Phil wanted to get something a bit more dynamic than is usually possible, so a few limbs were popped off to achieve it!
I would like to get a subscription but if my math is right, a gift subscription is $120/year.
Nice move with Cap UK' leg. Gives the image movement
Still waiting on issue 83 in US :(
I’m a subscriber in the UK and mine hasn’t arrived yet
