UPDATE on 10 March: Via Brickset, here’s the PDF version of a Dorling Kindersley catalogue that has revealed several other LEGO book releases including jacket designs and some inside pages. New books include the revised The LEGO Book, a Friends Brickmaster (with exclusive Chloe minifig).
Hey, a couple of new books and some surprises, for me at least. I mean, I really didn’t expect the LEGO Batman: The Visual Dictionary and LEGO Ninjago Character Encyclopedia. There aren’t that many Batman sets anyway, right? They should be accompanied by ‘exclusive’ minifigs like the other books in the series I guess…
These below are on DK’s Winter 2012 Catalog, and mostly listed on Amazon so no surprises. Another ‘exclusive’ minifig is always nice, tho I could do with another Harry Potter character rather than Harry (again! wonder which costume tho). There is also Cool Castles by Sean Kenney, but to be honest given the regularity at which I see fantastic castle MOCs it’ll take quite a bit for me to be impressed.
