Research Realm:Scans

From Research Realm

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.

Klick / LEGO World Club (1994?–2002)

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.

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.

list coming soon!

LEGO Magazine / LEGO Club (2002–2017)

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.

Shop at Home catalogues

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)
