Bricks 'n Pieces (originally titled Bricks and Pieces) was a British LEGO magazine. It was first published as a newsletter in 1974 with no set schedule; in 1979 it was relaunched as a LEGO Club publication with a triannual schedule. After January 2000 it was merged into LEGO World Club Magazine.
History
The first issue of the original Bricks and Pieces newsletter was published in December 1974. It was sent out to subscribers of LEGO catalogues. Clive Nicholls, a marketing employee at British LEGO Ltd, was the newsletter's initial editor.[1][2] By December 1976 the newsletter had sixty-five thousand subscribers.
The first issue was sent out in December 1974. The Lego Magazine turns 50 this year!
At first it was a really cool magazine. But in the mid-1990s it became too commercial. So sad.
