LEGO Botanical Almanac Book Review
The LEGO® Botanical Collection burst onto the scene in 2021, but they began life long before that thanks to a LEGO employee who wasn’t even a designer. Astrid Sundorf Christensen wanted to cheer up their workspace with brick-brick blooms. The idea of flowers created from LEGO elements soon spread throughout the LEGO offices and it wouldn’t be long before the idea would inspire a product line. This is just one of the...
LEGO Space: 1978-1992 Book Review
If there were ever two words to excite LEGO® fans it has to be Classic and Space. Alone they mean very little but when combined they conjure up memories of an era of LEGO fandom which still endures strong today. So it’s of little surprise that the much-loved Space theme has inspired a new book. LEGO Space: 1978-1992 is the first official LEGO title from Dark Horse. Across 200 pages, this new book takes an extremely deep dive...
LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary Book Review
With DK Books producing so many different LEGO® titles for many years now, it’s hard to believe that this is the first time LEGO Marvel has been the subject of a book. The LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary follows a similar format as other LEGO books published by DK and offers a comprehensive guide to the many LEGO Marvel sets and minifigures from across the themes 12-year history.

LEGO NINJAGO Quest For The Lost Powers Review
As the NINJAGO fans work together to reveal the name of the upcoming new series of animated NINJAGO series, a recently published new book rediscovers some lost tales from NINJAGO. Since the LEGO® NINJAGO theme was introduced in 2011, it’s expanded beyond toys to include a long-running TV series, movie, comics and book. These additional bits of media have helped to expand the NINJAGO lore, but there are still many stories to...
The LEGO Story Book Review
LEGO® Books come in many forms and cover many aspects of the brand and its fandom. But the book I’m taking a look at today is unlike most other titles. As the name suggests, it tells the story of the LEGO brand from the very beginning, that’s even before a single wooden toy was ever crafted. The history of the LEGO Group is a long one and over that time many things have happened. This book offers an in-depth recollection...
