There are no step-by-step instructions as you would find if you bought an off-the-shelf LEGO kit. Instead there heaps of pictures of different types of LEGO objects, from buildings to animals to vehicles to practical objects e. I think it's great that LEGO reach out to their biggest fans in this way There is lots to love about this book and nothing to dislike, so long as you accept the title: it's inspirational in intent. I think it's great that LEGO reach out to their biggest fans in this way, instead of using people who work for the company as designers - a very different style emerges, with a somewhat old-time air to it, by which I mean prior to the rebirth of LEGO as a company that does movie tie-ins, cartoon DVDs and video games.
That rebirth probably saved the company from extinction but it's good to see that they can mix that modern commercialism with the old enthusiast-supporting ethos with projects such as this book. There's a lot more than just pictures of LEGO models, though: there are tips on how to design your own projects, how to reduce weight and maintain strength in large models, ways of creating certain effects - all sorts.
There are also interviews with the designers, covering such things as what they would build given all the time and bricks they needed, what their biggest models are and where they get their inspiration from. The graphic design is also excellent and the use of humour makes the book accessible to just about any age of LEGO builder.
Great stuff! View 2 comments. Oct 09, Anna Keating rated it it was amazing Shelves: great-children-s-books. A great gift for an 8 year old. Days and days of play. Fun and fascinating. Jan 20, Anthony rated it it was amazing. Dec 01, Ocarl rated it it was amazing. As a Lego Lover I read every bit of this big book, It not only gives very informational pictures, but it has a lot of good reading content that is essential for building things I like. Aug 16, C rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction.
Some good models and tips, but not as many as I expected for a book of this size. Large photos show details. Many examples of unusual use of pieces. Includes several interviews with adult builders. Nov 22, Lee Battersby rated it really liked it. Some absolutely beautiful MOCs presented in lush colour, with a smattering of break-aparts to show some internal construction techniques, as well as interviews with the AFOLs who made them, all presented in easy-to flick through chapters organised by theme and interest.
The only problem with the book is one that's not easily surmounted when dealing with a subject that lends itself to the photo-and-caption technique, and that is that I would have liked to have seen a more comprehensive breakdowns Some absolutely beautiful MOCs presented in lush colour, with a smattering of break-aparts to show some internal construction techniques, as well as interviews with the AFOLs who made them, all presented in easy-to flick through chapters organised by theme and interest.
The only problem with the book is one that's not easily surmounted when dealing with a subject that lends itself to the photo-and-caption technique, and that is that I would have liked to have seen a more comprehensive breakdowns of models, showing exactly how effects were achieved, rather than just a few choice interior shots without any in-depth building info.
But it's a beautiful coffee-table style book to keep in the Lego building room, and my daughter and I have already played about with favourite designs. Any book that can help father and daughter build and play together is one worth having around the house. View 1 comment.

I could lock myself in my room for a day with only this book and my lego and forget to come back out!
If I did come out my mind would full of lego ideas! This clever book gives you simple but effective ideas from master builders. Sep 30, Grant Wheeler rated it liked it. Great ideas, however a lot of the focus was on placed on designs involving special pieces. There wasn't a balance present for those working with basic pieces. Overall it was fine.
Oct 10, Steven rated it really liked it. Lots of idea's to kick start any lego project. Jul 13, Geoff Battle rated it really liked it. The cover, the concept and the marketing are outstanding. Anyone with a tub of mixed Lego will be drawn to this book like moths to a flame. After all, this is promising over ideas to put those blocks to good use. What follows.
I bought this book as part of a Christmas Lego gift set for my 11 year old nephew and he loved it. He was building trains and all sorts of other models right away. Did you? Jazmin63 - 4 years ago. Lego Creativity Box 5 out of 5 stars. Hlash77 - 4 years ago. Great idea in lue of lego sets that get put together torn apart lost and never built again.
Buy this box along with the creativity book and let their imaginations free!! Loved it! Jjulies - 6 years ago. My autistic step brother is super pumped to try out these new ideas. The package also came on time. Present for 9 yr old girl 4 out of 5 stars. Karla - 7 years ago. My daughter loved this book! She is more into creating her own things rather than using kits. She loves this book for ideas and inspiration. Lego idea book good gift for older kid 3 out of 5 stars. Evdmcc - 8 years ago.
It is a good book that gives you ideas of things you can built. It does not give you step by step instructions just an overall picture. I purchased this book for my now 9 year old son last Christmas, and I can honestly say it is one of the things he still plays with regularly. It is loaded with ideas for when the child can't think of any, and helps flesh out ideas that they may already have but don't know where to begin building.
It does NOT give you step-by-step instructions on how to bulid each item, but rather provides exactly what it advertises I love that it fosters my son's creativity, and I love to see the pride he has in each creation. My "very cool"12 year old son has also used the book, confirming my money well spent. Load 1 more. Get top deals, latest trends, and more. Email address. Sign up. About Target Careers. Email Signup.
