Lego Club Magazine has twenty pages of goodness including a bonus eight page Lego Universe mini comic glued to the first page. Features include a cover and sneak peak at new Prince of Persia sets, the new Lego Minifigures, Star Wars and Toy Story 3 comics and... well that is about it. There is the usual custom creations and contests but the issue is a really quick read.
Lego Club Jr has sixteen pages and features Toy Story 3 on the cover and in a puzzle, an Atlantis comic, two pages of cool kids creations along with four pages of building instructions for a farmer & cow combo and a tractor. That is correct, there are instructions for builds in the "kids" magazine and none in the main magazine which surprises me.
Last we have the pay subscription Brickmaster Magazine which is billed as for "advanced builders" and carries a thirty dollar a year price. That also gets you a creator set with each issue and this months is an 89 piece alligator. As for the magazine itself, the first twenty pages are the same as the regular club magazine (including the cover although they did change the sky color) then they add on a Lego Universe poster, a nifty Star Wars imagine sceen, and eight pages of builds incuding a build that make use of the Alligator set which is a great idea.
I am not too keen on the duplication between magazines and when I subscribed I thought there would be more AFOL content but it still seems aimed at twelve year old which, depending on what you are looking for, may or may not be a bad thing. Is it worth the thirty dollars? The sets make it a break even proposition but I really feel that they are missing a chance to do something great with the magazine.
