Dear Sir,
In respect of your current intrest in the ideas of use fans
of Lego(R) I would like to propose that a magazine be published by TLG
covering the following.
Having been a member of the offical Lego club here in the UK for a short
period of time I was somewhat disappointed with the size of Bricks &
Peices the magazine which was supplied as part of membership and with
the periods at which it came out.
What I would like is a reasonably sized magazine for us Adult Lego
users, but phrased so that younger readers would still be able to
understand it. The only comparitve magazine I have found was that of
Meccano, Binns Rd, Liverpool. which was in it'e time as popular as
Lego(R) is now.
Now that LegoMedia exists which already publishes one magazine the above
idead is not so much of a pipe dream.
In your postings to LUGNET you state that you wish to work with us
fans.( I can see LUGNET as one soloution for this). A magazine as above
could serve as a forum for this as well as for the exchange of ideas.
In terms of articles I am sure that many of the readers of this
newsgroup would be very happy to provide material. In fact a lot of the
material for the magazine could be collected in this way.
In additon to articles on Lego(R) itself the magazine could carry
articles on related areas. (such as Engineering and
Architecture/Construction).
The magazine could also carry advertising material for suppliers of
Lego(R) as well as providing Small ads for Fans ( Respecting TLG's IPR
of course). Revenue for funding the magazine could be generated in this
way.
In pricing terms the magazine would probably need to be somthing around
3.00 UKP in order to be saleable . Not sure on US pricing though.
It is also recomended that two seperate editons exist. One for the US
and one for Europe reflecting our differing tradtions in Architecture
and Engineering.
I look forward to views on this idea.
I can be reached by e-mail on :( ba124@city.ac.uk at date of posting)
