Customer Reviews

Deceiving

I should have read the reviews before purchasing, as we were also disappointed to find no mini figure with the book. The title is deceiving - it literally says [with MiniFigure].

Book was ok

The book showed up dirty and no figurine (description says it was included). Little disappointed.

Missing the mini figure

My son ordered this book with the impression the mini figure in the photo, that normally comes with the book, would be included. I did not see in the listing that the mini figure was not included.

Lego Star Wars : The Visual Dictionary

Was disappointed when I received it because it shows mini figure in book. When I received it it was not in book. No where in the discription of the book does it say it is not in it.

Great book for Star Wars and Lego fan

My english is not good, but i try it. My son, 5 years old, he's a big fan of Lego Star Wars, I had bought the book for me, but I can now forget, he wants me to return the book no longer. the pictures and the layout are especially. I can only recommend the book. it's a great book at a great price.

What a great book

For my two boys aged 7 and 9 these are prized possesions! There are great detailed photos and descriptions on all star wars lego sets. For kids that are right into star wars lego this is a must.

Good Enough For a Six Year Old!

I have a six year old who LOVES this book. I realize many collectors are not terribly impressed with this book, but it's geared at a younger audience - thus the "visual" dictionary. It has awesome pictures of all the star wars legos made up to this point in time. There are descriptions of the characters and buildings/ships, along with the year they were released. Admittedly, there is not a ton of descriptive information, but it's more than enough for a young star wars lego fan! Especially when less font leaves room for bigger images!

Can't get enough of it....diehard Lego Star Wars lover!

This is a beautiful book! Title: The Visual Dictionary....of all the Lego Star Wars items out on the market! This book is organized very well. The book has 4 chapters: 1.Movie Saga, 2. The Clone Wars, 3. Specialists Sets, 4.Beyond the Brick (96 pgs total) It has pictures of all of the Star Wars Legos that have come out so far. There is a time-line that tells when each of the items came out, year by year and also episode by episode The pictures and descriptions are clear and colorful. Each of the Lego sets has a picture, the Lego #, number of pieces and the film episode. What more can you ask for? The book is hardbound and the cover has about an inch thick insert where the mini-figure is stored. This makes the book appear thicker than it actually is. I wasn't expecting that but the book is still nice and thick and full of great information for any Star Wars lover. A Great buy for under 15 bucks! This is a keeper for sure for my 7 yr old son who will be thrilled on his Birthday!

Stunning book, Love it!

Very nice hardback book with lots of stunning pictures of what else? Star Wars Legos! We are big fans of Legos in general and this book did not disappoint. It came with a bonus Luke Skywalker mini-figure. As with all DK books, you get great pictures, thorough descriptions, and just a generally enjoyable book to collect or read. I bought 2 copies of this book, one to read, and one to collect. The only thing that bothered me a (very tiny) little bit was how the Luke Skywalker mini-fig was packaged. At first glance it looks like a much thicker book, but about half of the thickness is a spacer placed inside the book to make room for the mini-fig, so it lays flush with the front cover. I posted some pictures on the main item page if you want to see what I mean. Nothing that I would knock a star off for though. Overall, we are VERY happy with this book. Great price for a quality book that will not disappoint young and old!
