parchioso Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) I noticed a rather confusing thread on this item, actually information about this thing is indeed an old news, but opening a set and having a review probably is still new, considering that Amazon and the publisher themselves are only pre-selling it (to be released Aug 31?). I don't think we need to argue whether it is a book or a set, I see it as both, a nicely printed instruction book with the actual bricks (over 140 pcs and 2 minifigs), and can be used to build a rich variety of models! And being able to come up with so many models with the same set of material is simply astonishing. I am not sure if it is related to the BrickMaster program (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=KBM27) or is this a new product line to be released in such format (while I believe that the later is more likely). Nice printed book that comes with a set of bricks Some nice parts So here I am sharing one model that we can come up with the bricks, it looks really good: One of the Model - Treasure Island So the remaining factor on whether you would get this set would probably be...Pricing? I got it here at around USD 12.70, that's a good deal for me. Review at my blog: http://brickand.me/2009/07/27/LegoBrickMas...BuiltModel.aspx Edited May 2, 2015 by Phred Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 27, 2009 Governor Posted July 27, 2009 This thread probably won't receive a great deal of attention unless you actually replicate the review in the thread. And you're welcome to if you wish! Quote

Governor Mister Phes Posted July 27, 2009 Governor Posted July 27, 2009 I see you've created two (or is that three) of the designs Parchioso. Is that because there is only enough bricks for two designs? Quote

The same set of bricks can be used to build 6 different designs, and the book contains instructions for all the 6 designs. I have just shown one, so, I use the bricks to come up with this (a design called Treasure Island) and still have these left overs Quote
mediaprobe Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Aw, no redcoat flag. But for a great amount of great parts, i shall sure get it if possible. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted August 8, 2009 Governor Posted August 8, 2009 Then let us hope Sir Wellington that these Pirate products profilerate pandemically Now this the Pirate Tic Tac Toe there has even been (which also doubles as the best Pirate/Imperial Guard mini-figure pack yet) and Pirate LEGO T-Shirt the shopping list is growing and growing!

andy0002 Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 will this be available in the USA? Quote
The Cobra Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Try searching online bookshops. I did it for Italy and found a couple of places that list both this one and its Castle counterpart (20 or 21 euros each, that's way too much). Edit: amazon.com has it. Quote
