Expanding the LEGO Winter Village Book Review

July 8, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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)

May 9, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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.

-Includes an exclusive Finn minifigure in his bacta suit plus 2 art prints.

April 30, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Some of you may have known that I went to Philly Brick Fest this past weekend and there I had the pleasure of meeting former LEGO employees Megan Rothrock and James Foulds. They were at the event to promote their new book Construct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! which is a somewhat unique LEGO book that I haven’t seen that much of. It is a story book along with building instructions for some of the builds shown in the book. You can check out Megan talking about her new book from the Beyond the Brick livestream from Saturday.

Constuct-a-Venture: Building Tales with Syd and Friends! is available now on Amazon for $7.99.

Join Syd and Friends as they introduce you to their world of imaginative play! As you follow their adventures, building tips and instructions are included to inspire young builders. Utilizing a unique character design and a brick-built scale to match, the stories cover a varied selection of environments. Readers will discover this book light-hearted and fun to follow. Weaving story and brick building, we hope to encourage children to create their own stories and play activities with the bricks they have at home!
