Brick Fanatics Magazine in UK and US stores soon
Posted by Huw,
Here's a press release with all you need to know:
Brick Fanatics Magazine will be available to purchase in stores in the UK and USA, starting with Issue 3
The A5-size, 80-page print publication all about LEGO is moving into stores across the UK and US. It will be on sale in WHSmith in the UK from Thursday March 14, and Barnes & Noble in the US from April 18.
Here's a list of which WHSmith stores that are stocking it. A list of US stockists will follow shortly.
Issue 3 leads with a fascinating insight into the collaboration between the LEGO Group and video game developers Blizzard for the creation of the LEGO Overwatch theme.
This issue also debuts the How To section of the magazine, which is packed with LEGO tips, tricks and techniques. More information on what’s inside Issue 3.
Due to scheduling, Issue 3 will only be available in UK stores for a short time, before Issue 4 is stocked in its place from April 4. US on-sale dates beyond Issue 3 will follow shortly.
From Issue 4, each edition of Brick Fanatics Magazine will be stocked on UK and US shelves for one month.
Brick Fanatics Magazine will also remain available for purchase at brickfanatics.com/magazine as will 12-issue and 24-issue subscription deals that offer free postage, free issues and delivery of each issue before it appears in stores.

50 miles to my nearest stockist and I live in Cleveland
I'm still waiting for issue 2.
Paid for on the 14th of Jan. Was told it would be with me in 5/6 days on the 22nd of Feb.
Still waiting...
Huw, Is there a reason we can comment on this magazine article but not the Hispabricks article?
^^ Captain Plastic - ditto! Same thing happened with issue 1... it did turn up eventually but the entire time I was having flashbacks to a certain other magazine situation a few years ago.
Thankfully, I don’t live far from a stockist...
^^ Yes there is.
I notice Northampton Whsmith isn't on the list. When I bought Blocks Mag there a couple of weeks ago it had a security tag on it!!
You Northampton afols must be a dodgy lot!
Ha Ha!
I’ll try to pick up Issue 3 at Barnes and Noble...certainly seems worth the $8, if that’s what it will cost at retail stores. I don’t know if I’m ready to spend the money on a full subscription, I guess I’ll see if it’s worth it from Issue 3. I’m certainly very interested in Lego Overwatch and CS, so this issue seems like a good one to try out.
How much does a magazine go for?
@ashcubes: Online they seem to be $8.00 US per individual copy, but if you don’t have a subscription there are apparently additional charges for packaging and shipment. I’d say it’s probably somewhere around $15, but I’ve never gotten any before so I’m not sure.
Eh, maybe if they were sold through Amazon with free shipping, I'd try a copy. But I'm not driving all the way out to B&N for this.
