Only photos, it's hard to eventually build the ideas, especially for kids

Reviewed in Australia on 22 January 2020

Verified Purchase

It is a big book with lots of ideas, however, there aren't much details pegboard about how to build them. And I don't mean like I'm expecting step by step, just maybe some details and some help.
My son is great with building Lego, but he got quite disappointed with this book, as it is too hard for children, or eventually even for me to build complex structures just by seeing a photo.

Disappointed no instructions

Reviewed in Australia on 11 August 2020

Verified Purchase

Great pictures but very hard for my son to follow and build the ideas, really disappointed as I was hoping he would find lots of fun out of learning to build new things. Would not recommend if you want to have instructions on how to build things .

Not what i thought it was

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my lego mad 17 yr old. He loved it so i bought it again for 7 yr old twins who are also lego mad ..they however were not so pleased with it. It has no proper step by step instructions and i know its my fault because i didnt look properly at the book before ordering it for the 7yr olds i look after , but i basically feel its just a very expensive advertisement for lego products that are available as it just gives no instructions on how to.build the things that are shown in the book. Great if you are older and have had many years experience building lego models, not so great if you are 7 and just starting to get the lego bug

Great resource for planning your own builds

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is terrific. We bought it as a stocking filler and it is still in almost daily use a year on. As other reviewers have stressed this book does not include building plans and instructions, it gives ideas and help for you to build your own creations out of the pieces you have in your collection. It is tructured into various chapters: transportation, buildings, space, kingdoms, adventure, and useful makes. Lots of ideas of how to use the pieces in ways other than in the set they can in. There are ideas here that could be used by a huge range of building abilities.

Be Aware of What You're Buying

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is a fun browse for my daughter and I, who enjoy building Lego together.
There are two significant problems with it though.
The first is that there are no detailed instructions for ANY of the models shown in the photos (even online).
The second is that my daughter likes to build animals and there are almost none in the book, it is heavily biased towards machines and transport.

Rename to Lego Viking Ideas Book?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019

Verified Purchase

Great book. My Lego obsessed son loves it, but the majority of it is Viking related building ideaswhich is not something he's interested in (yet) at all. He loves wheeled vehicles and instantly set aboout making every vehicle in the book, of which there is only a handful so it didn't take long to do. Be prepared as a box of Lego Classic won't cut it for these projects, you'll need to extra specialist type pieces to complete the builds. Also, there is more text than I imagined - each section has an interview with the pro Lego builder for that piece/section. I'll probably want to purchase another book from the series so that we can continue to build new things as I imagine we will run out of ideas in this book fairly quickly.

You need to have 500 quids worth of Lego for this to be useful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 August 2019

Verified Purchase

Utter disappointment. Lot's of ideas but absolutely no detail - need to have bottomless pit of lego parts to build anything. If my grandson didn't love the pictures I'd have sent it back. I'm doomed to permanent failure because every time he says 'can we build ...' I have to say we don't have all the bricks or the particular style of wheel or colour or enough!
