Quality is decent but blurbs and descriptions are a little lazy compared to the other LEGO encyclopedias. Characters are boring- even with the addition of LEGO Movie characters. Skip this one.

Another great encyclopedia by Lego. The little toy soldier it comes with has a windup piece on the back and it's so cute!! These minifigs are only from Lego series though, not from Lego sets. There are plenty of fun minifigs in this book that I have never seen before.

This was purchased for my Lego obsessed child. He loves flipping through and seeing the various figures. As he gets older, the actual story and detail about each figure will gain importance. For right now, it's all about the pictures and that's great! This is a good addition to the bookshelf of any Lego fan.

Every several months, LEGO has released mystery bagged LEGO figures, known as minifigures (a distinction given to the bagged mystery LEGO figures, the name is in lowercase).
For longtime fans, these minifigures have been not only addictive but also quite a headache as one can easily purchase the same figure several times or look unusual to a person passing by as you are holding a bag and trying to feel the contents in hopes you can identify a hat or a weapon.
But for those who are getting into LEGO minifgures and want to start collecting them (and also willing to pay quite a bit of money on eBay to get them), will want to check out "LEGO minifigures CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA".
LEGO minifigures began back in 2010 and each line contains an original character not seen in other sets. Each line contains 16 different mini figures, while series 10 featured a limited golden figure (5,000 made) for a total of 17.
As of the end of 2015, a total of 15 series have been released, and for "LEGO MINIFIGURES CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA", the book covers series 1-10.
The book is actually well-done as it contains information of the LEGO minifigure, minifacts and more.
For example, for the Nurse minifigure, the name Dawes is on the nurses chart. The page has a fun fact that Dawes is actually the name of LEGO minifigures designer Laurence Dawes.
Another reason why people want to buy this book is the exclusive Toy Soldier LEGO Minifigure which comes with it.
Personally, I have found this book to be very useful in my research as I tend to like to create LEGO settings that can utilize a certain character and their look.
If I want to create a sports-themed setting, a cinema setting, a space setting or something creative or unusual, I have used this book to identify which LEGO minifigure to purchase and it has turned out to be a useful book.
For the most part, "LEGO minifigures CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA" is a magnificent and safe book for children but also a great resource book for the fellow AFOL's (Adult Fan of LEGOS), who are collectors and simply love LEGO's in general.
