Oh, this is excellent! Finally a fan oriented publication
without the profuse advertising of a lego magazine! This
is starting to sound great!

Ah, reviews! Now, this is interesting! Can reviews be
contributed at the site, or do you need to be a
member of the bricks magazine staff to write them?

Plenty of reasons to purchase a subscription
here. Is this also in operation with the BI-
Portal for the instructions scheme?

Hi Matt (and Matt :-) -
One of our goals with the magazine is promoting the LEGO fan community.
We're targeting LEGO fans both online and offline, and we want to give
credit to the efforts people have already put in here. That said, the BI
Portal is definitely being considered as a partner for content in the magazine.
The idea book/building instruction section of the magazine will also be
promoting the LDraw tools and informing readers about LDraw.org, where they
can download them for free.
