The LEGO Magazine (2002-2008) was rebranded as the LEGO Club Magazine (2008-2017), then as the LEGO Life Magazine (2017-2024), and now again as the LEGO Magazine.
Perfect for kids aged 5-9, this printed magazine is sent directly to your home five times a year, completely free of charge. Each issue is packed full of cool activities, fun comics, creative builds, posters, and so much more!
I just received the November-December issue yesterday, which is the first time the magazine comes with the new (old) name. The LEGO Magazine is pretty much the same format both outside and inside as the LEGO Life Magazine, so I’m not quite sure what’s the reason for the renaming,
One new feature I was pleasantly surprised about is the inclusion of the work of a well-known LEGO fan, @farawaybricks. They specialize in small vignettes, several of which are shared in the magazine. This is a perfect way to show kids how much can be done with just a few pieces. I hope the magazine will continue featuring the work of other LEGO fans in the future!
While the magazine is primarily meant for kids, older LEGO fans find it enjoyable too. The comics and puzzles are fun and bring back fond childhood memories. I also like the sections that give a bit of back-story to current LEGO themes (i.e. DreamZzz, Friends, Monkie Kid, and Ninjago comics, etc.)
If you’re already subscribed to the LEGO Life Magazine, you will automatically receive the new format from now on. And if you aren’t subscribed yet, you can go to the LEGO Magazine page to subscribe. You will receive the next issue coming in January 2025. And if you’re interested in going through previous issues, you can find downloadable versions on the same page going all the way back to 2018.
