The magazine runs about 80 pages and is filled with full-color photos of LEGO creations. Of course, many people post photos of their LEGO creations on the internet which you can get for free, and a BrickJournal subscription is a little pricey. We enjoy the magazine, however. In addition to the photos, which is what we look at first, there are articles on a range of topics covering LEGO history, interviews with LEGO designers, how-to articles, and coverage of LEGO conventions worldwide.
The models featured in the magazine are just amazing. I like to think that we could make things like that if we had an infinite supply of free time. :) The writing quality in the articles isn't always great, but this is a magazine you get for the pictures anyway.
When I first discovered the magazine, I was able to find it at our local Barnes & Noble. I haven't had luck finding it in stores recently. If you want to get a feel for the magazine, there is a generous preview pdf you can view here. A 6-issue subscription runs $57, so it isn't for everyone. There's still something to be said for the experience of flipping through the pages as opposed to viewing the content online (although you can do that too, with a digital subscription). When a new issue arrives in our home, it gets picked up day after day for a good solid week as we each discover something new in the photographs and run to share it with each other.
There is also a free BrickJournal app. I haven't used it enough to review that yet, however.
BrickJournal is another great way to explore your LEGO hobby and get inspired!
