I agree with the several people who have expressed an interest for a printed

would come in the mail.
Oh yeah, thanks for including my picture in the
first issue. (I’m the Celebration III ISD build team member with the black

the 1st issue. SWEET!

I’m a me-too-er on the issue of print as well. I have a slow connection, plus
don’t always check more than my email when online. (It’s a fluke I saw this
thread.) If it came mailed in print form, I’d be less likely to miss it.
But I’m posting to add ask, hasn’t this sort of idea been mentioned before? A
quick search reveals this:

But the links therein seem to be dead.
I also seem to recall a thread (perhaps from that same source?) that asked for
AFOLs to pre-subscribe by adding their name to a mailing list to get early dibs
on issues. Naturally, I sent my name in, but sadly never heard any more. Was
this (these) just an idea that has since become defunct (BJ excluded) ?

John,
In regards to your question about the previous ideas of doing a Lego
magazine..Yes, this is not a new idea. It has been discussed before in various
ways, but sadly until now none have come to fruition. It should be noted for
the record that Brick Journal is in no way associated with what is formerly
known as Bricks Magazine.
Thanks for the feedback,
Jim Foulds
Assistant Editor for Brick Journal

Hendo, that was the infamous “Bricks Magazine” or something like that. That was
sometime around Dec 2002-Feb 2003, organized by someone who has completely
dropped off Lugnet. Rumors abound, and likewise, nobody got their money back.
The goal of BrickJournal was to produce a magazine first, make it in .pdf format
so it could be downloaded, readable, be enjoyed, and nobody would have to pay a
subscription up front (or worse--grumble that this project would be another
Bricks Magazine). In essence, we wanted to prove it could be done and have
something tangible first--
BJ: “we have a magazine we’re writing, you can subscribe first, and then we
“promise” to have a magazine done...”
AFOL: “yeah, right... is this another “Bricks Magazine” endeavor? I lost my
money then, what makes you think I’ll pay again?”
BJ: “Here’s our first issue!” and it’s FREE!!!
That last line is what BrickJournal is providing--proof!
