Robin had a sneak-peak at three AWESOME new LEGO books, from no starch press, to be released in just a few days. Better yet, no starch is offering a 40% off promotion on all three titles, but only until October 31st - so get them now! In the Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder's Guide, Polish builder Pawel includes tons of tips, tricks, and building secrets for making your LEGO models come to life. Alan Bedford, fellow Canadian, has updated the Unofficial LEGO Builder's Guide, with a new 2nd edition. This book is filled with essential LEGO building information, and you're guaranteed to learn something that you can use to improve your own models. And finally, my good friend Megan Rothrock has written the LEGO Adventure Book, Volume 1. It's a fun story, told in the style of a LEGO Idea Book, and is sure to inspire your own LEGO adventures. |

Robin is very excited to have his giant Egyptian sphinx featured in the Official 2013 LEGO Calendar! Find your copy at your nearest LEGO brand retail store, or get one online. Fun! |
