BrickJournal 9 is now available for downloading through its publisher, TwoMorrows. It’s 148 pages of reports and instructions, with event reports of 1000steine-Land, Brickworld, and LEGOFest. There’s also interviews with a couple of Star Wars builders and a Star Wars LEGO designer!

In order to download the magazine, everyone will need to create an account at Twomorrows - this is needed to create a mailing list for the magazine. There’s also another reason that will be explained below.

With Issue 9, it’s the end of a phase of the magazine. Issue 9 is the last free online issue of BrickJournal, as



BrickJournal goes to print!
The Journal will be going to Volume 2 - the printed edition, out February 2008! You can order the first issue, or subscribe!

All back issues of BrickJournal are now at the TwoMorrows site for ordering. In the coming weeks, there will be other things happening with the magazine. I am very happy and excited with these developments and thank y’all for making this happen!

The BrickJournal page on the TwoMorrows site can be found here.

PS. Apologies to James Trobaugh and Lewis Valentine, Jr. I got the print edition out a bit later than expected.

This is a bad new. You instantly loose most of your non-american readers, as we aren't going to pay an intercontinental shipping for our issues. Thanks for your great previous work, Gianluca (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

(...) Something else to fix : Single Feb 2008 issue = 11$us + 2$us for canada delivery. I would say that's fair. Subscription for four issues = 32$us (nice discount) + 18$us for canada delivery... It does not add up... (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

(...) Joe, congrats on taking BrickJournal to a new level. I signed up for my subsription today, and I know of at least two other credit-whores who are about too do the same. You rock. -Keith (17 years ago, 16-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Joe, congratulation on taking BrickJournal to print. I know from working with other authors how hard that process can be. I signed up for my subscription today because BrickJournal is truly great!

(...) Why do I have to enter at least two characters for a state? I don't live in any state, I live in a city in a country. What use can you have of two faked state letters?

I can't say that I'm terribly upset and that I didn't see this coming. Now that BrickJournal can have real subscribers, the magazine can continue to grow with more advertising. I do hope that the advertising will be cheaper for LEGO based (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, lugnet.announce, FTX)

(...) A few thoughts: First of all, I'm disappointed that greed has gotten the better of you. Issue one to eight was released free of charge, and should stay free. Secondly, I don't really mind paying for the following issues. That is to say, a few (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Holy crow was that the most convoluted crap website signup ever. I was constantly reloading pages and getting error messages. That is either a really good sign, (lots of people are signing up for subscriptions as I just did,) or a really bad sign. (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.publish.brickjournal, FTX)

Congrats, Joe, on making it to the stage where you can say you'll have a paper Lego fan magazine! Having pre-paid as a charter member (or somesuch) of the last such enterprise, I'll wait until I can actually hold an issue in my hands before ponying (...)
