| (...) Awesome! Stupendous! Bravo! Really nice job. I've downloaded the first issue and gotten 20 pages into it, and it's hard to put it down (though I really do need to be working at the moment!). My only regret is that it's just a PDF -- I can't (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

This is something the community could really use and I'm impressed that you (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

You should work on the picture quality, though. You need to get (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| (...) Calum is indeed correct. We built the magazine using professional printing software (Adobe InDesign) at a full 300dpi for 8.5 x 11. Needless to say, that download is over 100 Mb. As for all the other comments here, thank you so much. We are (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| (...) I agree with the several people who have expressed an interest for a printed copy of Brick Journal. I'm more than willing to pay for a subscription that would come in the mail. Oh yeah, thanks for including my picture in the first issue. (I'm (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

This would make printing out a copy a lot easier. Russell BayLUG/BayLTC (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

If it came mailed in print form, I'd be less likely to miss it. But I'm posting (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

| 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 (...)

Rumors abound, and likewise, nobody got their money back. The goal (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Right now, we are in the researching stage (to be honest, I wasn't expecting to address this so soon), so I can't give you a good answer. Once we determine (...)
