I'm a huge fan of LEGO and with its surge in popularity there have been quite a bit of books on the hobby lately. A lot of LEGO books might focus on spectacular pieces of art made of our favorite plastic brick, or show minifigures recreating famous scenes, or ideas for little youngsters. I've found that the Lego Adventure books strike a balance between opening up your imagination to what can be done with the "average" LEGO collection rather than masterpieces created of thousands of thousands of bricks. Average here may be an understatement - a lot of the models presented do require bricks - both of variety and quantity. A beginner's bucket might be a bit disappointing if you want to emulate some of the models but an avid collector can find inspiration in his or her collection with this book.Meg Rothrock's series is one of my favorites. The models she presents are both inspiring and accessible. I own the previous two books in the series and pre-ordered this volume. I'm not disappointed but I must say the the 2nd volume remains my favorite. Some of the themes feel familiar. However, there are different projects to try out different techniques like using gears to create a carnival fair ride. I especially enjoyed the food designs which showed LEGO representing still life of food like sushi and pasta.The format remains the same as the previous volume. Meg has adventures meeting other LEGO builders and their creations. Text is minimal and in comic bubble form. Entertaining and enlightening to read but easy to ignore if you want. Great addition for LEGO builders/book collectors of all ages.
This is book 3 and it is just as good as the first two books by Megan Rothrock. I love the layout of these books with the comic book format and several builds with inventory list and the instructions. Also, the author gives good tips on how to build floors in your MOC (My own creation), roofs and many other elements to make you successful in building your own ideas. Great book I would recommend to all of those who loves Lego.
This book is third in a series. The reader follows the journey of a lego character moving from one destination to another. A stop at each presents the reader with creative ideas for making new and innovative building ideas. My kids use the book but I really bought it for myself to improve on my building skills.
This amazing book again takes us on a journey through the studios of master Lego builders, through the eyes of two comic yet observant minifigs, as they search for some escaped robots on the run. The series again elevates what could have been a dry, how-to guide into a clever and helpful graphic novel — which not only shows how to build cities from various eras and different parts of the world, to amazing robots, cool vehicles, and much, much more. My favorite sculpture is a Dutch town from the Lowlands of 17th Century Holland. It’s a romantic and beautiful setting, and anyone could make it with enough bricks and following the comic-book like instructions included here.There is helpful commentary from the minifig travelers, as well as figurines which speak for the actual builders of each artwork. A British builder seems to have recreated Disneyworld’s Main Street USA, or something similar. I’d love to visit the happiest (Lego) place on Earth! There are many realistic versions of vintage and exotic cars shown here. Although there are few instructions for them, just seeing them from different angles, and the various detail shots, made them easy enough for my son and I to reproduce — and design his own. And of course, I couldn’t help loving the Lego plate of sushi — so clever! The LEGO Adventure Book shows that, as the narrator says, “Imagination is the most powerful thing there is”.
This book is perfect for the kid who has a ton of Lego sets already. They can use these instructions to build new things with the Legos they already own. My three sons ranging in age from 5-9 loved this book.
Amazing Book! My son adores these! There's an actual story, comic book style throughout the instructions! He checked them out at the library first and loved them so much I found the series on for him!
This was purchased for our son. We were hoping this would give him some easy to follow building options without have to purchase specific kits. Unfortunately that was not the case, almost every build required blocks that do not come in your standard pieces set. He can use the book for general ideas but he is unable to build anything exactly as described in the book. If I could do it over again I would not purchase this book.
This book is awesome for my young kids as well as my husband and myself. We have so much fun building LEGO cities and we can now expand our knowledge of things to build. I love being able to flip through the pages and decide to build something with my family. There are so many ideas in here. I received this in exchange for my unbiased, honest review and all opinions expressed are 100% my own.
