BOOK - LEGO Minifigure Year by Year: A Visual History

Post by SSchmidt »

Anybody have a copy yet?

For those that don't know, here is the link to a copy at Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Minifigure-Y ... ar+by+year


I was interested in getting some opinions, reviews, etc. The few reviews I have read thus far, although lacking in contentseem to be pretty positive. I will definitely invest in a copy, and if there is not a detailed review on here by then, I will consider posting one. The book looks very informative and fun.

Would love to hear reviews, opinions, thoughts, etc.

Have you read the review on Brickset? http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=7801

From what I can glean, it seems to be well put together (though the 3 free figs could have been a bit more inspiring). Not sure what it covers that other books haven't, and the lack of Disney licenses seems a shame (no Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean, Prince of Persia or Lone Ranger figures are included) though doesn't mention whether Star Wars and (Marvel) Superheroes (who are owned by Disney) are.

Be interested to know regular buyers opinions.
Less talking, more MOCing.

No Disney licenses? What about LOTR?

That's a shame about Disney, the more content the better.... :?



EDIT*** After further research, it appears Star Wars is included.
