LEGO Magazine November-December Issue

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.

LEGO Art LOVE Available for Pre-Order

Yesterday, the LEGO Group announced a new addition to its growing art collection: the #31214 LEGO Art LOVE set. Inspired by Robert Indiana’s iconic piece of pop art, the LOVE sculpture, this set makes a great treat for yourself or a gift to your loved one.

Travel into the history of pop art with this new 791-piece set, revealed ahead of the original artwork’s 55th-anniversary celebration in 2025. The LOVE sculpture is recognized worldwide as an iconic symbol with a message that transcends culture and – for the first time ever – you can now display a LEGO brick replica in your own home. This premium brick-built 3D LOVE model measures over 10 in. (25 cm) high, 10 in. (25 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (6 cm) deep.

“As a design professional and enthusiast, I have long admired Robert Indiana’s work. His artistic language has become synonymous with pop art and LOVE in its many mediums represents this like no other,” said Mani Zamani, LEGO Art Designer “It has been a personal honor to help bring this iconic and vibrant piece to life in LEGO brick form, to decorate the homes of pop-art and LEGO fans alike.”

LEGO Art LOVE features a similar design and vibrant red, blue, and green colors, acting as a perfect piece to decorate that empty shelf, mantle, or table in any room. Give this brick-built LOVE model as an engagement, wedding, Mother’s Day, or Valentine’s Day gift to loved ones who enjoy creative activities. Aimed at adults, it provides an immersive and mindful building experience. The set comes with two building instructions, allowing adults to enjoy the social experience of building with a loved one.

The LEGO Art LOVE set is now available for pre-order and will be shipped from January 1st. The price is $79.99. To pre-order and to check out other currently available sets inspired by art, visit the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.

It’s really nice to see the LEGO Art collection branching out from mosaics to other art forms. What do you think? Do you have any of the LEGO Art sets? And how do you like this latest addition? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!
