== Bricks 'n Pieces ==
Italic titles for issues are when I can't find exactly what the issue was called, usually if there's just no images of it online at all.
''Bricks 'n Pieces'' is an English-language magazine published in the United Kingdom by LEGO UK Ltd. It was originally launched under the name ''Bricks and Pieces'' as a newsletter in 1974, which is only known to have published four issues. It relaunched properly in 1979 as an 4-page magazine published 3 times a year. Its size was increased to 8 pages in Summer 1981, then to 12 pages in Spring 1983. Autumn 1983 saw the return of a numbering system, labeling the 1983 issues as "Volume 1", implying the 12-page version was another relaunch; the numbering was dropped again in 1986 however. 1994 marked the end of the letters from LEGO UK president Clive Nichols. In 1995 the magazine changed to four issues a year, then five i 1997. In March 1998 the magazine became associated with LEGO World Club, and in March 2000 it merged with ''LEGO World Club Magazine'', though its content remained unique from the other global versions of ''World Club'' and more similar to ''LEGO Mania''.


Many issues are scanned, though some from the 1990s remain missing. Most 70s and 80s issues have been scanned by Huw at Brickset and by Miniland Online. Brickset's scans are complete through 1987, minus the 1977 Technic issue. Miniland's copies are spottier and sometimes use lower-quality scans, though they continue through 1999.

== LEGO Mania Magazine ==
=== Shop at Home catalogues ===
''LEGO Mania Magazine'' is an English-language magazine published in the United States by LEGO Systems, Inc. Its first issue released in Winter 1994, replacing ''Brick Kicks''. Its second issue released in January 1995, and from that point forward it was published six times a year, every two months.  It had a Canadian English/French version published by LEGO Canada, which replaces ''Innovations'' in January 1995. Its final issue was in March 2002: in May 2002 it merged with ''LEGO World Club'' to form ''LEGO Magazine''.
Probably not really magazines so we should make a more general scan page and then split these into subpages maybe. Some guy on the internet archive scanned several 90s S@H issues. Actually maybe all of these should go on subpages, one for each publication? (not as replacements for proper articles for each, just so that the scan list isn't overwhelming)


== LEGO Adventures! ==
=== Game manuals ===
''LEGO Adventures!'' was a unique magazine published by Egmont Fleetway 12 times a year
A lot of the PC games had PDF manuals but console and handheld games didn't. Some console manuals are pretty similar but some aren't (Rock Raiders PSX for instance) and handheld ones are very different.

Latest revision as of 13:56, 16 August 2024

This page is a reference for which magazines have been scanned and which haven't. Please scan the missing ones! Innovations, Brick Kicks, and Adventures are especially sad! Maybe catalogues should be added or get their own page as well? Comics too.

Italic titles for issues are when I can't find exactly what the issue was called, usually if there's just no images of it online at all.

Scans

Click a link to a subpage to learn more!

Magazines

Even though they're very similar I'm currently treating Klick as separate from World Club. If I shouldn't let me know. Annoyingly there are two unrelated magazines called Lego Life.

Note that even if an issue is scanned, it may be a partial or low-quality scan.
