Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-07-04 Summary: Broad ranging starting guide ... These is less about instructions (although there are a few) and more about the theory of Lego building. It covers a lot of topics, from super mini models up to giant Lego blocks made of smaller Lego blocks. The downside to this approach is there is a lot of discussion of topics that not everyone is going to be interested in. I for one have no desire to build over-sized Lego blocks. Still there's lots of good tidbits of information, and it reminds me as I introduce my daughter to Legos that not everything about building ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-06 Summary: Something even for the master builder ... I've been building with Lego bricks for over 30 years. I bought this book to add to my collection not expecting to "learn" much but have something to share and refer to from now and again. I was very happily surprised after reading and learning a few new building techniques. While this book isn't exhaustive of every single SNOT or other advanced building technique (btw, there isn't one) this is a great single volume that is a happy addition to every LEGO enthusiast's library. I have also recommended this book for persons ...more

[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-31 Summary: Advanced Lego Skills Required ... Forbidden Lego has some innovative and fun designs, and the description of the process Lego uses to design, approve and produce models is especially interesting. The models in this book would not pass this rigorous approval process, and the authors tell you exactly why - they might fire projectiles too fast or too quickly or require the alteration of an approved Lego piece. But the building instructions would also not pass Lego's quality control process, either. Some illustrations are missing the box that shows the ...more

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...more

In this story there is a bank robbery, and the police with the help of a few citizens, must catch the criminals. The illustrations are bright and vibrant. This is a great book in a great series.

What makes this particular series, The Lego City Adventures, so good is that little boys will be attracted ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-20 Summary: Perfect solution for an on-the-go 10-year old. ... I had bought my 10-year old nephew the game as a gift for his PSP. He hit a point where he just couldn't move to the next level - and this book solved the dilemma. It's filled with the details he needed. He absolutely loves the maps, tips, descriptions and pictures of everything - and, most importantly, it's kept playing the game enjoyable for him. While some other reviewers point out that it's possible to find more detailed instructions on-linem for children & on-the-go players, I think this book is the solution. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-19 Summary: Lego Batman ... If you are a Batman Fan you will enjoy this crazy Lego adventure. I don't like first-person shoot-em up gore games. I wasn't sure I would enjoy Lego Batman, but it's LEGOS! Lego Batman challenges your mind to solve puzzle like scenarios, which I prefer. And yes there is shoot-em up type action for those of you that crave blowing up or shooting at things, but it's legos and not other people or zombies! You know what I mean. So far I have found no problems or issues while playing the game on my PS3. At $20, this is well ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-05-25 Summary: Great alternative to video games! ... Looking for a birthday gift (15th birthday) for my son that would spark some interest to do something besides playing video games led me to this Lego product and I must say the venture was successful. He has truly enjoyed using his "mind" and "hands" to build his robots and looks forward to coming home after school to do just that instead of craving the Playstation as before. I have to "restrict" his time playing video games but with the Lego NXT he can build at will which is also a real plus. The unit has worked well ...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
