Lego Club Magazine (formerly known as Brick Kicks, Lego MANIA Magazine and simply Lego Magazine until 2008) is the Official Magazine for Lego, or, more specifically, the Lego Club. It features many things such as prices of Lego products, special offers, comics, games, contests, modeling tips, and more. There are various types of Lego Magazines, such as:
- Lego Magazine - A PLAYbook featuring comics, building ideas, cool creations, and games. First seen in May/June 2002.
- Lego BrickMaster Magazine - The "premium" version of Lego Magazine with more pages and exclusive content. First seen in November 2005. Starting in November 2007, exclusive sets based on Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Bionicle, and City are planned to be released for members of Brickmaster. In September and October 2006, instead of a magazine, it is a sample brickmaster. The mascot is Dan Sungar if you listen close enough in the Lego BrickMaster video online for parents. He is supposed to be in My Lego Network but hasn't been made yet. It might be related to the My Lego network Brickmaster Badge. Brickmaster was replaced with Master Builder Academy in June 2011.
- Bionicle - Bionicle comics, mailed with Lego Magazine and Brickmaster Magazine. Bionicle comics were ended and replaced with Hero Factory comics in Fall 2010.

- School Edition - A new edition with educational articles relating to Lego themes and products, games, activities and others. First seen in Jan/Feb 2007.
- Lego Club Jr.' - A new edition for children 6 and younger. First seen in November/December 2008.
Famous quotes containing the words club and/or magazine:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“Alas! While your ambitious vanity is unceasingly laboring to cover the earth with statues, with monuments, and with inscriptions to eternalize, if possible, your names, and give yourselves an existence, when this body is no more, why must we be condemned to live and die unknown?”
—Thomas Paine 1737–1809, U.S. writer and magazine editor. Pennsylvania Magazine, pp. 362-4 (1775)
