New LEGO magazine for families!

There is a new LEGO magazine that I would like to show you today, called The Brick Collectors Magazine. The magazine is written and published by the parents of two young children and is geared toward families. It is somewhat similar in content and style to the LEGO Club Magazine published by LEGO, so if you and your kids like that one, you will most likely enjoy this LEGO magazine as well. 🙂

Here is a little bit from Joelle about her family and their LEGO interests: My husband and I have been LEGO enthusiasts since childhood, and we rediscovered LEGO bricks in our late teen years. Now we have 2 children of our own, who are fortunate to have a large LEGO collection amassed by mom and dad, at their disposal. We all enjoy LEGO bricks in our own way. I like to build LEGO Modular Buildings and seasonal models. My husband creates LEGO brick-films and has his own website, brickabrackstudios.com. Our son, age 8, loved everything Ninjago and is now totally into the new LEGO Legends of Chima theme. Our daughter, at age 2, is already an experienced LEGO builder. She has DUPLO bricks of her own to play with, but also loves the LEGO Friends line. She’s been around the small pieces since birth and has been successfully trained not to put them in her mouth. We have a LEGO room in our basement where the bulk of our large collection lives. You’ll find LEGO models and minifigures scattered throughout the rest of the house too – that happens in LEGO-families. So that’s a little bit about us.

LEGO Magazine Family

The Brick Collectors Magazine is about 20 pages and features games, puzzles, fun LEGO projects for both younger and older kids, helpful tips, interesting articles, and other information for the whole family.

LEGO Magazine Content

So far there are two issues available of this LEGO magazine, and you can download the PDF files here: The Brick Collectors Magazine Issue 1 -April/May and The Brick Collectors Magazine Issue 2 June/July. The PDF downloads are free, but you can also purchase printed copies if you like. The link to buy is at The Brick Collectors Magazine homepage. (Update: sadly, this magazine has been discontinued.)

LEGO Magazine Issues

If your family enjoys LEGO-time together I would highly recommend this LEGO magazine. It is very nicely put together and is full of fun and interesting projects and information for LEGO fans. I hope Joelle and her family will continue publishing further issues and The Brick Collectors Magazine becomes a bi-monthly staple for LEGO fans.

You may or may not know, but there is a full-length LEGO movie in the making, called simply as The LEGO Movie (in case anyone had any doubts of what the movie is about). Yep, you heard that right; you will be able to follow the adventures of your little plastic friends on the big screen! The LEGO Movie will be released on the 14th of February, 2014. Below is the official announcement and trailer. 🙂

The LEGO Movie Poster

The LEGO Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Emmet (Chris Pratt) is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which he is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. 🙄
