LEGO Star Wars Yoda's Galaxy Atlas

The suspense concerning the identity of the exclusive minifigure which will be inserted in the cover of the book entitled LEGO Star Wars Yoda's Galaxy Atlas ends today with the online availability ofa first visual.

We now know that it will be an exclusive version of ... Yoda, which in the end may seem logical knowing that it is he who serves as a common thread for the content of the book. Oddly, the minifigure is hidden on the provisional cover visual, but we see it in the rest of the illustration with its map, camera, and backpack.

The 88-page book is expected in April 2021, it can be pre-ordered now for just over € 15 at Amazon at this address.

The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks

After a voting phase which will have allowed fans to vote for the book they would like to see published among three pre-selected proposals, it is now the turn of the crowdfunding campaign which will allow the book that won, The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks, to be launched on the specialized Unbound platform.

You will have to be very patient to get this book presented as a product. Direct-to-Consumer specially intended for AFOLs: the crowdfunding campaign will be active until 2021 and it will be necessary to wait until spring 2022 to receive the book and the "exclusive rewards" offered by LEGO including the sets 40501 The Wooden Duck, 21037 The LEGO House, 4000026 Tree of Creativity or 40366 LEGO House Dinosaurs.

The book alone will cost you the modest sum of € 70 to which must be added € 18.14 for delivery costs. If you choose to associate it with one of the proposed "rewards", the prices soar and become truly surreal ...

Each participant in the fundraising campaign will have their name printed on the back of this book which will be written by Daniel Konstanski and published by AMEET, a publisher usually more specialized in publishing activity books for young fans.

If you don't mind waiting a year and a half to receive the thing, you can take out your credit card and help fund it. at this address.

new lego dk book life hacks 2021.fw

We remain in the world of LEGO books with two new books to be published in April 2021 now listed at Amazon.

The first of these two books, entitled Lego life hacks (11.05 €), will be a collection of everything that you have more or less already seen on the internet in recent years in terms of supports for smartphones, pencil holders or cable storage system based on LEGO bricks or minifigs. The publisher promises to provide detailed instructions for the fifty or so ideas gathered in the 128 pages of the book:

Get ready to hack your life, LEGO style! This book is bursting with more than 50 amazing ideas to streamline your life and accessorize your space. From a nifty device to tie water balloons, a speaker that amplifies your phone, and cool gadgets to blitz your boring chores, these creative ideas will inspire you to use your LEGO bricks in amazing new ways. With easy to follow step-by-step instructions and handy hacks for further building, this book will take your builds to the next level

The second book entitled LEGO Star Wars Yoda's Galaxy Atlas is online without illustrative visuals for the moment but with a description which announces a guided tour of what the LEGO Star Wars range offers in creatures, planets and characters.

It will therefore probably be yet another catalog of official visuals accompanied by a few facts and other anecdotes. There is no indication for the moment that this book will be accompanied by a minifigure (exclusive or not) but the price of 15.45 € announced by Amazon lets me suppose that this will not be the case. To check when uploading the first visuals:

Let LEGO® Yoda introduce you to all the amazing planets, creatures, and aliens of a brick-built galaxy far, far away.

Wonderful place, the galaxy is. Amazing planets and incredible aliens, you will find. Much to learn, you still have. Show you, I will ....

With Jedi Master Yoda as your tour guide, visit the incredible planets in the LEGO Star Wars galaxy. Meet brave heroes, villainous characters, and fascinating creatures - and learn all about the Star Wars galaxy along the way!

lego ideas adult book vote afols ameet publishing

Do you like having the impression of influencing the choices of LEGO by voting for a project, a set or in this specific case a book? If so, this new operation will allow you to make your voice heard on the choice of a new book presented as specifically intended for AFOLs (acronym for Adult Fan Of LEGO).

The manufacturer offers you this time to choose between three different themes. It's up to you to choose the subject that interests you the most: The LEGO Brick Museum which should retrace the history of the group and its products in a preliminary manner, The Secret Life of LEGO Bricks which will provide some more or less interesting facts about the brand's star product and LEGO History in 100 Bricks which will summarize the highlights of the LEGO epic through emblematic elements that have marked fans.

I participated in the preliminary discussions around this project and the themes set out above were submitted to us along with a few others with the possibility for all the participants to express an opinion on the potential of each of them. The three projects presented are those which had a priori attracted the most participants, even in the absence of precise information on the final editorial content.

Make no mistake about it, despite their three very different titles, it is certain that all these works have a large amount of content in common, it is especially on the form that this content will be adapted according to the theme that it is. will prevail. If LEGO boasts a bit of having worked "closely" with the AFOL community on this project, I think we just have to be content to evoke a "discussion" with a few members of the community who have had only an advisory opinion. It is LEGO who manages, who chooses and who decides.

The voting sequence that will determine the selected project will be open until August 9. The project that has gathered the most support will then be put online during the month of September on the crowdfunding platform. specialized in Unbound Edition and it will be necessary as is always the case when it comes to through crowdfunding commit to purchasing the book in advance without knowing what it will actually contain on arrival.

Additional exclusive bonuses will be offered to those who want to participate in the fundraising campaign and during preliminary discussions, LEGO confirmed that nothing was excluded: minifigs, sets, etc ... It will therefore be necessary to watch these rewards not to miss a truly original and exclusive product which deserves to be encumbered with yet another book to the glory of the brand. Note also that each person who participated in the fundraising campaign will see their name appear on the back of the book.
