Brick.it Magazine Issue 28 Arrives: Porco Rosso MOC, Sewing Machine Set Details?

The latest issue of Brick.it Magazine, number 28, is out now, and it’s bringing a fresh stack of content for the LEGO faithful. This isn't just another leak compilation; it's a proper magazine, clocking in at 99 pages, promising original articles and high production values. If you're tired of speculative rumour sites, this might be your antidote.

Inside, you'll find a deep dive into a Porco Rosso MOC by Norton74, which sounds like a treat for fans of that particular Studio Ghibli classic. More significantly for our purposes, LEGO Ideas designer Alessio Ridolfi is featured, discussing his upcoming Sewing Machine set. With LEGO Ideas sets, we often get a glimpse into the design process, and this article might offer early hints about the final product that will eventually hit shelves. No specific set number or official images are confirmed from this magazine feature, mind you, but it’s a solid lead.

Beyond those highlights, Issue 28 also celebrates the 10th anniversary of LEGO BrickHeadz, a potentially niche but interesting look at collecting monochrome minifigures, and a guide to LEGO photography. The magazine is available in both English and Italian, with digital and paper subscription options. Back issues, including 26 and 27, are also available in English PDF format.

One reader commented on the monochrome minifigure article, suspecting AI involvement due to a lack of detail on collecting nuances. Another expressed cautious optimism about the Sewing Machine set, worrying it might either be oversimplified or too expensive to retain its intricate details. These are fair points, especially when we consider how LEGO prices can fluctuate wildly.

No official Indian pricing or availability for Issue 28 has been announced yet. Given the magazine is available digitally and in print internationally, expect a potential import cost of around ₹1,000–1,500 for the physical copy if sourced directly. That's enough for a decent biryani platter for two, or maybe two months of your favourite streaming service. MyBrickHouse and Toycra are the usual suspects for imported LEGO magazines, so keep an eye on their listings. Code ABHINAV12 takes 12% off full-price sets at Toycra, minimum order ₹500. A 4–6 week lag for physical copies after the international release is standard.

This issue offers a different flavour of LEGO content, focusing on community creations and behind-the-scenes looks rather than leaked set numbers. It’s a good reminder that the LEGO world is more than just new product announcements.

On that bombshell, it's time to say goodbye. I'll see you on the next one. Bubyee.
