I love these type of books, which are great for casual browsing. It's much easier to look at figures from a book than clicking through a web page. I would definitely purchase this book. Does anyone know how it compares to the previous Standing Small book?

Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
Something like is a great resource for all those minifigures you picked up at yardsales or on ebay and have no idea what set they came from. Also, the kids like looking at pictures of figures they don't have.

This book will definitely be on our christmas list this year!
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
I saw this at Barnes and Noble and really liked the book, it has a lot of cool little tid bits about minifigs.
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
I'll probably check it out if the library gets it (and possibly request that they get it), but I don't know if I would purchase it without a sale... Although if I had a free copy, it would be read thoroughly.

Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
This book is perfect! I just got a bunch of mismatched MINIFIGURES and this book looks like my one stop resource to get them back together again!!
I think a few copies if these will end up under the tree for a few lego maniacs I know

Looks pretty neat. Though I wish it came with better figures. If I find it at a reasonable discount, I will purchase it.

The book looks good, but overpriced. The mini figures are really lacking.

Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
While expensive I will add this book to my collection. My daughter will love attempting to create some of these minifigures from her ever growing collection.
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
Definitely would get one for Christmas.
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
Flipped through the book at my Local Costco, price is $19.99 CAD.
Definitely a nice book that catalogs a lot of mini-figures, would like to read it thoroughly and recall the minifigs I had a kid.

Looks like a nice book. Would get at a discount.
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
It seems like a cool history on minifigures. I'll pick one up at some point when it falls below $20.
Re: LEGO Minifigure Year by Year Review & Giveaway
I will definitely be purchasing this book, we try and get all the LEGO books.
