Hi all,

it’s with a great deal of pride that I announce the first issue of 

BrickJournal
 
BrickJournal is a quarterly publication that will focus on the AFOL community with articles about:   
• People - the personalities of the community 
• Building - the incredible models and creations that have been built 
• Community - the places and events where AFOLs meet 

BrickJournal will also invite the general public to meet and join the community. With a variety of articles on many of the aspects of the LEGO hobby, interviews with people who have impacted the hobby or community, building tips and instructions, and other fun things, BrickJournal will be an outreach to the public - introducing the LEGO hobby by showcasing the best the community has to offer! 

Now you may wonder, what does this magazine look like? 

Wonder no more.  

Joe Meno 
Editor/Publisher, 
BrickJournal

Very nice! It's obvious y'all put a lot of time, thought, work, effort, blood, sweat, tears, etc. into this. Just one question - what's the easiest way to turn this download into an actual, printed booklet? Do places like Kinko's offer 2-sided (...)

(...) Nice one, but geez, yet another interview with Brendan Powell Smith ;) Just wondering though; is it intended to be a magazine for AFOLs or about AFOLs?

  Does Anyone Have a Mars Rover Kit
 
I am in need of a large quantity of studless parts and gears and am kicking myself for not buying the Mars Rover kits when they were on sale at WalMart this Christmas for 25 bucks. Long story short, did anyone stock up on them and save them for a (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jul-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
