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 as ''Bricks 'n Pieces'' in 1979, initially publishing three times a year. In 2000 it merged with ''LEGO World Club''


Many issues are scanned, though some from the 1990s remain missing.

== 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 for £3.50 an issue. Much of its run is missing, though its Russian version《LEGO Самоделки》seems to be fully scanned.
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.

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.

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)

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?
