LEGO Minifigure Year by Year A Visual History Reviews
The Brick Fan
“Dorling Kindersley’s newest LEGO book has been released and it is called LEGO Minifigure Year By Year: A Visual History. The hardcover book features more than 2,000 images of various minifigures through LEGO’s history. The book also includes three different minifigures which... More is unique because we usually just get one in a DK LEGO book.”
The Brothers Brick
“Like most of the DK LEGO books, it feels like a high quality book and is very durable. Which is good if you have kids because they aren’t going to want to put this down. My kids keep making off with my copy. Overall, I was rather impressed with it. As a long-time fan of... More LEGO, there wasn’t much information I didn’t already know, but it is a fun book to have around. If you are looking for a good introduction into the history of minifigs in general, a fun coffee table book to impress your non-LEGO friends or a book for your kids to drool over for hours, this is the book for you.”
