Summary: More than just an instruction book
... I've enjoyed with this book not only creating some of the creations it has, but also reading the LEGO design-related stories, guidelines and ideas the authors have written through all the chapters. The pages format and design are very attractive and the building steps are perfectly structured, fun and easy to understand. For me, a must-have being a LEGO fan.

Editorial Reviews ... Product Description | It just may be impossible to exhaust the creative potential of LEGO bricks. With an active imagination as your guide, there are endless possibilities--provided you follow the LEGO Company's official (and sensible) rules. This means no cutting or tampering with bricks, creating models that shoot unapproved projectiles, or using non-standard parts with any LEGO product. After all, those little precision-molded ABS bricks can be dangerous in the wrong hands! Well, toss those rules out the

The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-24 Summary: Wonderful Book That Needs Color!!!!! ... 'The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build' is an absolutely wonderful book with one MAJOR flaw in that the entire book is in black and white. Packed with 16 chapters written wonderfully with exciting examples and content, this would have been a easy 5 star recommendation but I simply cannot do that. Legos are bold, bright, and full of color, the decision to publish this in black and white was a terrible one. I understand this decision was made to no doubt save costs, but it shouldn't have been published ...more

[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-01-06 Summary: Great book ... The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Idea Book: Design, Invent, and Build I read this book and I really enjoyed it. This was the first Mindstorms book that I read and it was really easy to understand and got me off to a quick start. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars was that the graphics and text are printed on an off white background and it made it a little harder to read and the graphics themselves are all black and white and some of them were a little hard to figure out the robot designs because of it. But dont let ...more

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT-G Programming Guide (Technology in Action)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-25 Summary: Great resource for NXT-G programming ... This book covers a lot of ground on NXT-G programming and is a must have resource for anyone serious about programming in NXT-G as the on line help included with the NXT set is not adequate. As a professional programmer and a robotics hobbyist, I would recommend that anyone wanting to bring out the full potential of their NXT creations move to a text based language like Robot-C instead. While NXT-G is good for simple programs, it is just to difficult to create anything of any complexity as the graphical elements and ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-02-17 Summary: Great Book! ... We bought this book for our nine year old son who had recently received the Mindstorms NXT for Christmas. He could not put the book down - read it from cover to cover and thinks it is a great book. Highly recommend. ...more

Lego Crazy Action Contraptions: A Lego Inventions Book (Klutz)
Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-02 Summary: another outstanding Klutz product! ... My son is a huge lego fan. We have a billion pieces and he is constantly creating new ships and designs with them. This kit is a really neat addition to his collection. It has UNIQUE pieces I have not seen anywhere else, and has directions for 10 fun contraptions the kids can make. 5 of them have all the pieces included in the kit. 5 of them require other standard lego pieces that any lego fan will have in the house. My son made the balloon-powered car last night and played with it for hours. I highly recommend this ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-17 Summary: We all love it! ... We got this for our four year old at the time. He is almost 7 now, and we all still enjoy choosing instructions from this book to work on together. I do think the pouch is a little small for all the pieces. The zip line "robot" as my kids call it doesn't work so great, but otherwise, we've enjoyed all the projects - takes between 8 and 15 minutes to build one, if we don't stop to play together. I agree that if the child is 8 or older, this would be something they would need very little help with. Of course, you need ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-04 Summary: The best addition to any Lego collection ... My son has a HUGE bin of Legos and enjoys building and rebuilding. This box/kit really challenges him. The best part is most of the contraptions have a function. He loves the candy dispenser made with Legos and rubber bands. I highly recommend this for any Lego lover! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-05 Summary: legos to go ... My ten year old loves legos ... and I love peace and quiet in the car! This product worked out great as a "trip treat", the bag was great so he could keep track of them. We use an aluminum cake pan with a plastic cover for a lego desk/holder in the car, but the book with a bag made it so he could take it into the hotel and restaurant with no fuss ... and isn't that what every mom really wants ??? no fuss??? GO LEGOS!!!!!!!! ...more
