Missing LEGO Magazine Scans -- New Scans

[TalonCard]

Hi all,

I'm hoping to fill in some of the gaps in the scans of old LEGO club magazines online. Here are two issues of the UK Bricks n Pieces Magazine that I don't think have been posted online before:

Spring 1990
Autumn 1990

Watch this thread for more updates, I still have more magazines to scan.

Added Bricks n Pieces January 2000 issue. This is an interesting one because it's the last issue, and because a lot of the content is clearly shared from the Jan-Feb US Mania Magazine, which leads to some fun localizations like the one on the cover. ("Ice lolly" vs. "popsicle".) Also a lot of nostalgic turn-of-the-millennium millennium references, lol.

Ooh nice! Excited to see what else you have in store. The early BnP issues are so fun, there very personable in a way modern branding doesn't really allow, lol.

Added scans of the LEGO Adventures! Magazine Issue #4, from July 1999. Of particular interest here is the Insectoids comic that explains the Insectoids began investigating Earth after the voltstones on Armeron/Holox ran out, tying together the two stages of the Insectoid storyline as refugees on Armeron and invaders of Earth.

Added scans of the LEGO Adventures! Magazine Issue #13 from April 2000. The seller was kind enough to send me both copies of the magazine in their store when they realized that neither one was in great condition--one copy was water damaged, the other one was fine but had random minifigure heads cut out of some pages.  I've selected the best pages from each copy for these scans.

Added LEGO Adventures! Magazine Issue #1 from April 1999. The old school mobile phone MOC suggestion makes me laugh, but not nearly as much as the text "Build two and call your friend!"  Of course! What better way to keep in touch?

Added LEGO Adventures! Magazine #2 from May 1999--I believe this one has been posted before, but only in Russian. Love the wacky 80s Robot in the Space Port comic.

This wraps up all the Adventures! Magazines I have currently. Since it ran for #34 issues, there are still a great deal more out there to find that haven't been scanned yet. Back to Bricks n Pieces for the next upload!

Added Bricks n Pieces Summer 1991. The "Thunder Rock" contest looks interesting, with new character James Brick. Also a fun feature about the upcoming Pirate Boats attraction.

[TalonCard]

Added Brick Kick Issue 1. Like most of the Brick Kicks issues, I believe I've seen some pages of this online before but not complete scans.

[TalonCard]

Added Brick Kicks Issue 4. I do not have 2-3; if anyone else can share or post scans, that would be awesome. :)

[TalonCard]

Added Brick Kicks Fall 1988 (as far as I can tell, this is the issue immediately following #4 and most of the following issues use the Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter convention. Do note, the magazine's approach to covering Native American topics in the comic and cover story isn't the best representation and is certainly dated.

[TalonCard]

Added Brick Kicks Winter 1988--there's a very colorful Space comic here.

[TalonCard]

Added the Spring 1989 Brick Kicks. It's probably coincidence, but LEGO alligators are featured in this installment of Brick Buildmore and LEGO alligators/crocodiles had already been designed for the Pirates theme by this year, but wouldn't be released until 1994.

Added the Summer 1989 Brick Kicks. Of note are the photos of the Pirates launch at the 1989 New York Toy Fair!

[TalonCard]

Added the Fall 1989 Brick Kicks.

[TalonCard]

Added the Winter 1989 Brick Kicks.

[TalonCard]

Added the Spring 1990 Brick Kicks. 

[TalonCard]

Added the August 1998 Bricks n Pieces scans here.

I've seen sections of this posted on Stonewars; but I don't think complete scans have made it anywhere yet. Should be of interest to my fellow UFO/Insectoid enthusiasts, we get a new name for Andy Droid/Techdroid II, a significant crossover element showing that he was one of the Insectoids, and an indication that a significant amount of time passed for the Insectoids between settling on Armeron and the depletion of resources leading to the invasion of Earth.
