Klodshans was an internal magazine published for employees of the LEGO Group. It started publication in 1973, replacing an earlier publication, LEGO knoppen, and was published alongside a weekly bulletin, LEGO Inform.[1] and has been confirmed to be published up until 1999, with several issues published each year. An alternative version, LEGO Review, was published for LEGO UK Ltd in the United Kingdom (LEGO revue for LEGO GmbH in Germany)[2] There is currently incredibly little information about these, and they are rare finds. Several exist in private collections but the vast majority have not been scanned.
As these were only available to employees, they are rare, exclusive, and essentially the "holy grails" of LEGO magazines to scan and archive, because they sometimes contain information and media of LEGO development and in-development products that the public has never seen before.
