Brick Fanatics Launch LEGO Magazine

The boys behind Brickfanatics.com have gone all hard-copy with a new print magazine, and their premier issue has a strong Star Wars element, with a review of 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City plus a guide to some clever modifications to make it more authentic.

As well as Star Wars the magazine takes a look at Harry Potter’s 71043 Hogwarts Castle, and engages columnists Christian Faber (who was art director on more LEGO themes than you could shake a stick at), Kevin Hinkle (ex-LEGO Community Coordinator) and innovative fan builder Jme Wheeler to draw the curtain back on their bricktastic lives.

Retrospectives and trips to the LEGO archives, a look at different LEGO community projects around the world, developments in the LEGO Group and interviews are all promised in this and other issues.

The 80-page, A5-size first issue of Brick Fanatics Magazine is available for purchase now for $13.50, as are subscription packages – which offer cover price savings and free postage – through brickfanatics.com/magazine, with issue one shipping on October 26th.
