Lego Club Magazine (formerly known as Brick Kicks in the US and Bricks 'n' Pieces in the UK then Lego MANIA Magazine and simply Lego Magazine until 2008) served as the official publication for Lego's fan club, the Lego Club. The magazine features a range of content including information about LEGO products, special offers, comics, games, contests, and modeling tips.[1]

In 2017, Lego Club Magazine concluded with its final issue for January/February and was eventually rebranded as LEGO Life Magazine. The publication evolved through several formats over the years:

  • Lego Magazine - Introduced in May/June 2002, this version, known as the PLAYbook, included comics, building ideas, and games.
  • Lego BrickMaster Magazine - Launched in November 2004, this premium edition offered additional pages and exclusive content. From November 2007, it included exclusive sets themed around franchises such as Indiana Jones and Star Wars.
  • Bionicle - Bionicle-themed comics were included with Lego Magazine and BrickMaster Magazine, with these comics being replaced by Hero Factory comics in Fall 2010.
  • Lego Mania Magazine - Earlier version of Lego magazine, last seen in March/April 2002.
  • School Edition - A new edition with educational articles relating to Lego themes and products, games, activities and others. First seen in January/February 2007.
  • Lego Club Jr. - A new edition for children 6 and younger. First seen in November/December 2008.
