I have to agree with Allan. If there is any reason for a 2nd edition, it
should be based on language, and not geography. (A German or French version?).
I also think that this magazine would be a great way to showcase some of the
historic information on LEGO, such as these themes:
The first LEGO system - The Town Plan (1955-67), and the Town Plan Boards.
The evolution of LEGO Trees & Bushes from 1957-present.
The history of LEGO signage (1957-77).
LEGO Windows & Doors 1957-2000.
The rarest LEGO bricks.
The early metal wheeled LEGO Cars & Trucks - (1955-70).
The history of the Samsonite LEGO Era in the USA (1961-72) and Canada
(1962-86).
The Billund Archive.
The short lived continental European Architecture Sets (1963-65).
The evolution of the minifig (1973-78).
The LEGO Gas Station sets - Esso/Shell/Exxon.
The history of the Service Packs.
The beginnings of the LEGO Train System (1966-80).
Early prototypes for Castle/Western/Model kits of the 1970's.
The European Dealer parts boxes (Windows, Trains & spare parts).
I certainly wouldn't mind contributing to such a magazine...... (hint hint).
