LEGO Harry Potter: A Magical Search and Find Adventure

There’s a new activity book by Scholastic coming out later this month called LEGO Harry Potter: A Magical Search and Find Adventure. From the title, I would it was going to be a Waldo-esque kind of book but it will also have other activities such as mazes, word searches, and more. What also neat is that it will also include a Severus Snape minifigure. It is not an exclusive one but this is the cheapest way to get this version besides just buying him off the secondary market. LEGO Harry Potter: A Magical Search and Find Adventure will be available on December 26 for a retail price of $9.99. Thanks to Mike for the heads up.

LEGO Holiday Ideas Book Review

A few days ago, I received a mysterious package from DK and I opened it to find out it was a brand new LEGO book called LEGO Holiday Ideas. It has 80 pages and it features more than 50 build ideas to use for holiday decorations, games, and gifts. What’s even cooler is that the book also provides the parts for an exclusive reindeer build.

Of course, you’ll need your own parts for the other builds in the book but the images for the pages were photographed very well so you can see what parts are needed. Some of my personal favorite builds from the book include The Elf Express which is a monorail for the elves and the Gingerbread Train.

LEGO Holiday Ideas retails for $14.99 but it is currently on sale over on Amazon for $10.59 which is 29% off. Thank you again to DK for sending it over for us to check out.

Expanding the LEGO Winter Village Book Review

Expanding the LEGO Winter Village

I’ve been sent over a copy of a brand new book that came out called Expanding the LEGO Winter Village by Charles Pritchett which gives you some builds to help supplement your Winter Village setting. The book has 150 pages and it is currently available for purchase on Paperback and for the Amazon Kindle.

There are six different builds that are provided which include step-by-step instructions along with the list of parts and quantities needed to create that particular model. The colors are very bright and easy to distinguish and I will say that it might be better than the colors used in official LEGO instructions for sets.

There’s also a short read on how to get the parts if you don’t have them already. Obviously this section is for LEGO fans who just got into the hobby as most seasoned veterans already know the ins and outs on how to do it.

As for the builds, there’s a Town Fountain, Horse & Sleigh, Classic Car, Old Truck, Photos with Santa, and Ski & Snowboard Shop. Each build shows you how many parts are needed and the dimensions of the model. As I said before, the instructions are very clear and the finished models are actually very good looking ones that can easily integrate into your Winter Village.

Again Expanding the LEGO Winter Village is now available for purchase on Paperback and for the Amazon Kindle. Thanks to Charles for sending over a copy for me to look at.

LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: Anniversary Edition (5005849)

LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: Anniversary Edition (5005849)

Last month, DK released the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: New Edition which included the exclusive Finn minifigure but it looks like there’s another version of the book. Over on Shop@Home UK and other countries, there’s a version of the book called the LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary: Anniversary Edition which has some extra exclusives than the normal version.

The cover has changed to Darth Vader and the coloring is similar to the 20 Years of LEGO Star Wars logo and it also includes the Finn minifigures along with two art prints. There’s also 16 pages of additional content which states that it includes every LEGO Star Wars ever released which I assume with have the 20th Anniversary Edition sets as well. What’s interesting is that the product page also shows a Platinum Edition which I think is the same book. There’s no word on when/if it will be available here in the US but as I mentioned earlier, it’s available in other countries.

Fans will love to delve into this fully updated and expanded visual guide to all the minifigures, vehicles and sets from the entire LEGO® Star Wars™ saga. The 160-page LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary features a comprehensive collection of full-color images, detailed comments, close-ups, data files and set history—plus a Beyond the Brick chapter containing concept art and an interview with the creative team behind the LEGO Star Wars franchise.
