Hi all,
BrickJournal Issue 1, Volume 2 is being printed right now, and is on target
for shipping the last week of this month. There’s been a lot that has gone on
during the preparation time, so here’s a release of sorts:
A Chat with
Jørgen Vig Knudstorp
I was able to have a video chat with the CEO of the LEGO group last year.
Through some incredibly goofy technical difficulties, this did not make it
online until now. You can see this 25 minute video at the
BrickJournal website, or you can go
here.
International Sales
For those overseas from the US who have voiced concerns
about not being able to order an issue of BrickJournal because of the high
shipping cost, we have gotten a Bricklink dealer to sell the magazine.
1001bricks is taking
individual orders for BrickJournal internationally and has a lower shipping
rate.
BrickJournal Issue 1 to be sold in Bookstands and US LEGO stores
BrickJournal was ordered in limited numbers by Ingram Distribution, which
handles the majority of newsstands in the US, and by the LEGO Group for sale in
the US LEGO stores. Diamond Comic Distributors also ordered copies for some
comic shops.
The publisher is working on European distribution channels, but
as of this time, they are unavailable. We hope to have something by the second
issue.
Group Rates
From Twomorrows (BrickJournal’s Publisher)
BrickJournal #1 is on press now, and will be shipping February 27, so expect
to receive it in early March! (We’ll also send you a link to the free Digital
Edition of the issue at the end of the month, to tide you over while you’re
waiting for your printed copy to arrive.)
In the meantime, in an effort to
make subscribing to BrickJournal more affordable for everyone (particularly
those outside the US), we’re now offering a “BRICK O’ JOURNALS” which is a bulk
order of 25 copies of the first print issue at 40% off cover price, plus
shipping. So whether you’re looking to resell them to raise funds for your LEGO
Club (or yourself), or want to combine your order with friends’ to save money
off the single issue and subscription prices, it’s a great way for organizations
and individuals to save on the ultimate magazine for LEGO enthusiasts. (NOTE:
Each “brick” contains 25 copies of the same issue; no mixing of issues or
changing of quantities.)
So, if you’d like to pool your order with others and
order the “Brick O’ Journals”, go
here!
If this route saves you money, we’ll be happy to issue you a refund for your
original subscription order.
Individual orders should be taken through
Twomorrows or through 1001bricks if you are not in the US.
Compilation Books
to be Published
Twomorrows will be printing compilation books of BrickJournal
back issues, starting with a book of Issues 1-3. There will be more information
in the magazine, but I thought I’d tell ya:-)
Gee, I think that’s it - but
more stuff is on the way!
Many thanks to all the people who have contributed
and helped out with getting the mag off the ground and taking it to a new
level!
Later,
Joe Meno
Editor, BrickJournal
