If you like to read LEGO related articles in a magazine format, you might want to check out HispaBrick Magazine. The magazine is written by members of the LEGO fan community in Spain, and published three times a year; April, August and December. It is available both in English and Spanish as a free download, with a printed version as an option. The 20th issue was just released at the beginning of this month. Below is a bit more information about the magazine in case you are interested. 🙂
From the magazine’s website: “HispaBrick Magazine started in 2008 as an initiative of some Spanish AFOLs in order to preserve the best MOCs and articles that were published in their community for ‘posterity’. In addition to the warm welcome from Spanish speaking AFOLs, it soon became clear that there was much interest from people who did not read that language. The second edition of the magazine already contained a number of articles in both Spanish and English and as of issue 003, HispaBrick Magazine has been published in two editions of identical content, one in Spanish and one in English. As the interest in the magazine has grown, so has the group of people who are directly involved in the project. What started out as a small local effort has transformed into a magazine with an international readership around which a community has grown.”
Each issue of HispaBrick Magazine is full of interesting articles and is over 100 pages long. Topics include reports on LEGO fan community related news and events, featured LEGO creations, LEGO set and LEGO related book reviews, tutorials, building instructions, inspirations, question and answer sessions with prominent LEGO fans as well as LEGO employees, and a lot more. For example, below is some information about the latest issue:
“In this issue, Keith David Severson, Senior Manager for the CEE Team explains the restructuring and the future of the new ambassador program. We will tell you about the new project if the CEE Team, The LEGO Ecosystem, which Yun Mi Antorini has carried out.
We will tell you the story of Fairy Bricks and their work helping sick children in hospitals, and about SUR M´ALE GOBROS and their peculiar graphical creations. Great creators like Sariel, Evan Bordessa, Dviddy, Rhymes_Shelter, Arkov or Retinence show us their creations. Bright Bricks, famous for their replica of a Rolls Royce turbine tell us more about their company and show us some of their other creations.
Our collaborators keep offering tutorials on MINDSTORMS and WeDO, reviews of the latest sets and books, we cross the Atlantic to learn more about Chile LUG, MINILAND characters, an exhibition in Mungia, useful objects made with objects LEGO and much more…
We take this opportunity to let you know we are preparing the celebration of our annual event, the HispaBrick Magazine Event 2014, which will take place on December 6 and 7, 2014 at the mNACTEC museum in Terrassa (Barcelona). In the coming weeks we will provide more detailed information regarding registration, dates and times on our website. You are invited to participate.”

Hi,
Thanks for your support!!!
We would like to clarify that we have nothing to do with HispaLUG and we have our own LUG, HispaBrick Magazine.
Best regards
hey admin, i’m finishing up a lego video and i thought i could write a post on stop motion. is that okay?
Sounds good to me! 🙂
is it today?
I haven’t even gotten the article yet. 😉
Nice magazine. I’ll have to check it out now that I know it’s in English too.
I know this is off topic, and I’m sorry, but I’m trying to raise awareness of the Lego LotR “Save LEGO the Lord of the Rings” we need 1000 supporters to let LEGO know that we care. please go to: http://www.change.org/p/save-lego-the-lord-of-the-rings, to bring back LotR!
Ozzo, thanks for sharing. I hope your campaign will be succesfull! 🙂
So, you’re going to be even further jealous of my BrickForge scooter situation. When I got my BrickForge stuff they forgot to include the handle bars for the rainbow scooter, so they sent the handlebars and also a second rainbow scooter. So now I have 4 scooters!
He-he… it’s a good thing you can’t see my jealous face! But yeah, the BrickForge guys are awesome and will always make it right if there is a problem. 🙂
I think I just hurt my jaw 😛
This magazine looks awesome! When you download issues for free, do you get the whole issue, or just a preview?
The download is the complete issue. The only reason a printed version is available is that some people like to have a printed copy of the magazine, so we have uploaded it to a print-on-demand service. However, the magazine is designed to be free.
We are always looking for suggestions and collaborations, so feel free to contact us if you think you have something that fits in with the magazine.
This magazine looks epic! I’m currently checking it out. 😀
Yeah, it’s really awesome. I loved it as well too! 😆
