AMEET, the very prolific publisher of LEGO licensed activity books, has just released its catalog of products planned for 2021 and there are logically many activity books accompanied by various and varied minifigs.

Among all the products on display is a licensed LEGO Harry Potter book that will allow you to obtain Cedric Diggory in Hufflepuff Quidditch Outfit (Hufflepuff). The minifig reuses the outfit worn by the model in the window of the Quidditch props store (Quality Quidditch Supplies) of the set 75978 Diagon Alley (5544 pieces - 399.99 €) and the character's head present since 2019 in the sets 75946 Hugarian Horntail Triwizard Challenge et 75948 Hogwarts Clocktower, a piece also seen on the shoulders of Han Solo and Hawkeye.

Note that those who do not want to spend 400 € in the set 75978 Diagon Alley will also be able to afford a copy of Lucius Malfoy's minifigure so far exclusive to this box thanks to another activity book scheduled for 2021:

After Lego epic history, Lego amazing vehicles et Lego animal atlas, the collection of thematic books accompanied by a selection of LEGO pieces proposed by the very prolific publisher Dorling Kindersley (DK) will expand in 2021 with a fourth volume entitled Lego super nature.

As for the three previous volumes, this new 80-page book will allow you to assemble four exclusive mini-models (a bumblebee, a cactus, a flower and Nemo) using the set of parts provided, this time discovering nature and animals, all illustrated by many models specially created for this book.

The instructions are provided only for the four exclusive models, for the rest it is like with the other works of this type: it will be necessary to use the photos and the few exploded views offered over the pages.

I have not found a French version in preparation and for the moment we have to be content with the English version of the book, announced for June 2021, which is already on pre-order. at Book Depository.

The previous three volumes of this collection are still available at Amazon:

A little reminder for all those who do not buy LEGO books only for the exclusive minifig supplied with: the French version of the book LEGO Harry Potter Magical Treasury is now available from Amazon.

The publisher in charge of the localization of this 96-page book accompanied by the exclusive minifig of Tom Riddle (Tom Riddle with us) is more or less on schedule and this French version is available within a relatively reasonable time following the publication. of the original version.

The content of the book is described in the pitch below:

[amazon box="2374931242"]

I just received my copy of the book titled LEGO Minifigure A Visual History New Edition accompanied by the astronaut Classic Space in orange, a minifigure presented as exclusive.
This new orange version of one of the most iconic characters in the LEGO universe completes the inventory of variants already available in other colors via the set The LEGO Movie 2 70841 Benny's Space Squad (blue, yellow, pink and white) and the set LEGO Ideas 21109 Exo Suit (green).

It should be noted that the final version of the minifig is well equipped with a helmet and a back accessory with a completely smooth surface, contrary to what the official visual of the character and the cover of the book suggested.

But this orange variant is a priori not as exclusive as expected and we can already find several copies for sale individually. on Bricklink et on eBay. Those who are currently reluctant to spend around thirty euros to afford this book and the minifigure that goes with it should know that the different pieces that make up the character were offered to the different LUGs (LEGO User Groups) LAN members (LEGO Ambassador Network) via the annual purchase of parts in volumes.

Each LUG participating in this operation was presented with a list of parts available for purchase at preferential rates and some have chosen to select the various exclusive elements so far that allow the character to be assembled. It's no secret that some sets of parts purchased through this LAN member-only service end up for sale in the secondary market, even though the conditions for participating in this offer do not allow resale of those items purchased in volume. . The supply on the secondary market is therefore likely to increase in the coming weeks, which will undoubtedly lead to a drop in prices.

It is therefore up to everyone to judge whether it is advisable to wait a little to afford a copy of this minifigure at a low cost, with very relative exclusivity or whether the content of this 250-page book which allows obtain proof of paying the price charged by the various brands. The best offer is that of Amazon UK which offers the book at £ 22.93 (25.30 €). At Amazon France, it is currently necessary to pay 30.14 € and at Book Depository (which belongs to Amazon) the displayed price is 29.90 €.

I am not going back here to the content of the book itself, I have already told you about it few months ago. In short, this is not an exhaustive encyclopedia, rather it is a selection of the best minifigs that have marked the history of the plastic LEGO minifigure since 1978, all sprinkled with anecdotes.

We now know the character who will be included in the cover of the next edition of the Ninjago character encyclopedia: It is Nya in version Future.

The minifigure will be exclusive to this edition of the book and will therefore not be available in an official set. I'm not a huge fan of the Ninjago universe so I don't really have a clue how important this outfit is to the fans. I'm sure the specialists will be able to tell us more in the comments.

As with each new edition, this non-exhaustive 224-page encyclopedia will bring together a selection of around 200 characters with various anecdotes and others. facts. The book can also be useful for minifig collectors who would like to know which set a specific version of a character appears in.

This new version entitled LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia New Edition to be released in March 2021 is already on preorder at Amazon for just under 20 €. You will also find the two previous editions there along with their respective exclusive minifigs: Jay in his outfit Techno Silverstone and a copy of Starfarer for the 2016 version and Lloyd ZX (Green Ninja) with the 2012 edition:
