Your are now here: Home LEGO Books LEGO - A Love Story (Not available)
  An adult LEGO fan's dual quest: to build with bricks and build a family There are 62 LEGO bricks for every person in the world, and at age 30, Jonathan Bender realized that he didn't have a single one of them. While reconsidering his childhood dream of becoming a Master Model Builder for The LEGO Group, he discovers the men and women who are skewing the averages with collections of hundreds of thousands of LEGO bricks. What is it about the ubiquitous, brightly-colored toys that makes them so hard for everyone to put down? In search of answers and adventure, Jonathan Bender sets out to explore the quirky world of Adult Fans of LEGO (AFOL) while becoming a builder himself. As he participates in challenges at fan conventions, searches for the largest private collection in the United States, and visits LEGO headquarters (where he was allowed into the set vault), he finds his LEGO journey twinned with a second creative endeavor--to have a child. His two worlds intertwine as he awaits the outcome: Will he win a build competition or bring a new fan of LEGO into the world? Like every really good love story, this one has surprises--and a happy ending. Explores the world of Adult Fans of Lego, from rediscovering the childhood joys of building with LEGO to evaluating LEGO's place in culture and art Takes an inside look at LEGO conventions, community taboos, and build challenges and goes behind-the-scenes at LEGO headquarters and LEGOLAND; and Tells a warm and personal story about the attempt to build with LEGO and build a family Whether you're an avid LEGO freak or a onetime fan who now shares LEGO bricks with your children, this book will appeal to the inner builder in you and reignite a love for all things LEGO. - Auteur: Jonathan Bender - Hardcover - 270 pagina's - Publisher: John Wiley & Sons (May. 31st, 2010)

Products arrived in poor condition due to delivery. All Lego boxes were water damaged and slightly physically damaged as outer packaging box became soft soggy cardboard. Disappointed as doubt its returnable in its condition.

The prices were really good and your online store even had an excellent selection of stock, including some that the Lego store didn't have (original green color base plates). Your website allows for stock notification by email, which means I do not need to keep checking the site to know when stock is back in :) I really also loved that the online store clearly states when the discounts are valid until, so I least I know whether it will still be available after pay day :) I like that you give the option to choose a similar product if in the odd occasion an item I purchase is actually out of stock. I really loved the fast delivery time and the fact that the items were well packaged! Free gifts could be a bit easier to find and add to the basket and to know what purchases qualify for a free gift. I will definitely order again from you again. I am a very happy customer ;)
