Just wondering though; is it intended to be a magazine for AFOLs or about
AFOLs? If its the former, theres not a lot in there that we dont know
already, and if its the latter, it should probably be marketed more at
people other than AFOLs.

Just as another data point, I dont agree -- I read it cover-to-cover and while
I did know some of the content already, much of it was new, and it was all
enjoyable reading.

Thanks, Joe!
One of the challenges BrickJournal faces is trying to stay timely, given that
I am making this quarterly. Because of the lengthy period between issues and the
nature of the typical AFOL (wanting to find out things that are generally meant
to be secret), BrickJournal is at a disadvantage in trying to get news scoops,
and I have an expectation of some old information coming out...I just want it
presented in a nice professional manner. BrickJournal is perfect to be a
more thorough place of information and reference for the AFOL. Imagine having a
book that would be at your desk that would have info on a building method. Or a
mag to show to a friend about the hobby....thats the mag I wanted, and I sorta
did it with the help of a lot of friends! Joe ed./pub, BrickJournal

You do have the advantage of an inside line to the company though. Those are the
bits I found most interesting. Stuff on the development of themes and models
would be fascinating.

That would be super. The stuff on actual building was great. The bricks for
thought snippets were a nice touch.
I didnt want to come over as negative. Like I said I enjoyed it muchly. Thanks
for clarifying the direction youre heading with it.

from LEGO staffers...
