Research Realm:Scans/Klodshans
Klodshans was an internal magazine published for employees of the LEGO Group. It started publication in 1973[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 and possibly also for LEGO GmbH in Germany? 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. The term LEGO Review also appears on a 1982 magazine, but it is unclear if LEGO Review is a separate magazine that just happened to be combined this time, or if every now and then a Klodshans is also a "LEGO Review".
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.
List of issues
The August 1982 issue was a special one celebrating the 50th anniversary of the LEGO Company. It combined Klodshans and LEGO Review into a single volume published with Danish, English, and German text.
