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.

LEGO Review
UK version, unknown. Some paper I found talking about mathematics of Lego or something has a story about Lego UK marketing guy Clive Nicholls supposedly sourced from an issue of it so they are out there and available somewhere. Searching for it just turns up reviews of Lego products...
LEGO revue
German version
LEGO Life
Some newer internal magazine, possibly replacing Lego Review, or maybe it's the American version? Online sources mentioning it suggest it existed at least since 2004 and did as recently as 2015. Annoyingly the Club magazine has been called Lego Life since 2017 so good luck searching for this one.
