Holodoc Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Hello there! I just saw this book from the 90 Quote
Ricecracker Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 i have the french version, and, if you would like, i might be able to upload a few pictures. not sure though as i dont have great photography skills :-/ Quote
Paradosis Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) I've owned the English version a couple times, it's the Ultimate Lego Book. It's fairly interesting, for what it is (pictures of mocs, facts about lego, etc.). Amazon.com has a used copy of the English version for $18.98, which I'd say is a fair price (I wouldn't pay more than that). Edited January 24, 2008 by Paradosis Quote
Brickadier General Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) I have the English version, and it really is a nice book. It's called "The Ultimate Lego Book" here. It would definitely be cheaper to buy the English one. Edit: Looks like Paradosis beat me to the punch by one minute. :-D Edited January 24, 2008 by Brickadier General Quote
Doctor Sinister Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Got my copy right here on my desk, it's a good book, nice introduction to the hobby, some excellent models in there. Dr. S. Quote
iamded Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I know my library has one. :-D It's a good book. *y* ~Peace Quote
Deinonychus Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I'd defiantly recommend it. DK does a lot of really great books along these lines, and this is no exception. It's no in depth examination of the hobby or toyline, but it's concise and fun. Can't ask for much more then that Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I've gotten this book from the library, and it's really awesome! (English version) It shows preliminary pics of the Rock Raiders line, with Ice Monsters(if you get the puzzle book, they are featured along with Lava Monsters!) and more! It's really a great get! *y* *sweet* Quote
Holodoc Posted January 24, 2008 Author Posted January 24, 2008 Thank you guys for your really quick replies! 8- Quote
AgentRick Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It's a very good book. It shows a somewhat detailed history of the line, a look into the Lego factory, the small details in the various Minilands in the Legoland parks, and some instructions. *y* *y* *y* *y* out of *y* *y* *y* *y* *y* Quote
Corvus Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I bought the English version. A good book- pretty cool! Will Quote
simonwillems Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I love this book, it's great! It shows the various methods of professional Legoland builders, how they make their big models to scale, it has some very nice detailed pictures of the Legolandparks, the history of Lego (with a piece timeline) and much more. Definetely worth your money. I have the Dutch version. The pages 108 and 109 inspired me to make all sorts of Legolandscaled cars, like the one in my avatar. I also made the car on the cover in black. Unlike being in a Legolandpark you can really see how they made all those models and try and build some yourself. It's also available on Bricklink. Quote
Wout Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 In my Library we have also the dutch version. It is a nice book from 1998 (I thought). It gives many inspiration. Quote
CF Mitch Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Lol, that book happens to ly here on my table X-D I burrowed it from the library. It's really fantastic indeed... *sweet* Quote
Jipay Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 i have the french version, and, if you would like, i might be able to upload a few pictures. not sure though as i dont have great photography skills :-/ I also own the french version. Got it for 1 euro :-D Quote
Brickmaster Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I own it aswell. A great book, tells about design process, design, everything. Nice models and some old techniques in there aswell, I used to love it as a kid :-$ Quote
Holodoc Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 I just realized that TLC still has a link to the book at their FAQ-site here. They tell you that you can buy it from their store, but the link gets you back to the site where you came from. *wacko* I called TLC to ask if they still sell it, but no - they don Quote
Brickadier General Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 But there will be another book called "50 Jahre LEGO Stein" (50th anniversary of the Lego brick). I don Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I have the English version (UK), I've had it since I was about 10 years old I think! Funny you should mention it actually, I had a flick through it again the other week. I think it's a really good book, with lots of info on the behind-the-scenes of LEGOLAND, and showing how sets are designed and things. There is LOTS and LOTS of inspiration in these books...everything is just so beautiful. :-D Quote
Derek Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Oh I have that book. It is AMAZING considering I got it at a dollar store! :-D I can read it over and over again without getting bored. They just need to do a new one Quote
