Probably not really magazines so we should make a more general scan page and then split these into subpages maybe.

It started off in France? as ''Klick'', then had separate German publications in Switzerland and Austria, then a single German publication in Germany Switzerland and Austria as ''World Club''. Other versions were published in other countries in Europe, Asia, and Australia. A Hong Kong version is known from a couple partially-scanned issues, a UK version replaced ''Bricks n' Pieces'' in 2000, and an Australian version was published from 1998 to 2002. In 2002 ''World Club'' and ''LEGO Mania'' merged into ''LEGO Club Magazine''.
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.
 
[[Research Realm:Scans/Video game manuals]]?
Currently one UK issue and a number of German issues are scanned, though many of the German issues are missing numerous pages. Two Hong Kong issues are partially scanned, about half their pages each. All of the Australian issues are scanned, ''however'', aside from being low-res, for some reason those scans blur or remove ''all'' of the user submission stuff like custom builds or the names of contest winners.

The main global magazine. It was published in multiple countries and languages, ranging from 4 to 6 issues a year depending on the location. It had alternate versions including the premium ''Brickmaster'', the ''Junior'' version, and a vague and usually-unlabelled "girls" version focusing more on Lego Friends and similar themes, plus comic books sometimes included (especially Bionicle). It had too many versions and issues to count right now, so I will later. It was replaced by ''LEGO Life'' in 2017, which at least has 9 versions on the Lego website dating to 2018, though there were 2017 issues in other languages too so who knows.
 
There's also a bunch of other single-theme-focused magazines these days, I can't keep track. We should probably make a separate subpage for this since there's so many.

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.

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.

Game manuals

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. Research Realm:Scans/Video game manuals?
