商品描述

No, this isn't a book about joining some fringe cult. It's a book by LEGO fans, for LEGO fans, and you and your kids will love it.

In The Cult of LEGO, Wired's GeekDad blogger John Baichtal and BrickJournal founder Joe Meno take you on a magnificent, illustrated tour of the LEGO community, its people, and their creations.

The Cult of LEGO introduces us to fans and builders from all walks of life. People like professional LEGO artist Nathan Sawaya; enigmatic Dutch painter Ego Leonard (who maintains that he is, in fact, a LEGO minifig); Angus MacLane, a Pixar animator who builds CubeDudes, instantly recognizable likenesses of fictional characters; Brick Testament creator Brendan Powell Smith, who uses LEGO to illustrate biblical stories; and Henry Lim, whose work includes a series of models recreating M.C. Escher lithographs and a full-scale, functioning LEGO harpsichord.

Marvel at spectacular LEGO creations like:

- A life-sized Stegosaurus and an 80,000-brick T. Rex skeleton
- Detailed microscale versions of landmarks like the Acropolis and Yankee Stadium
- A 22-foot long, 350-pound re-creation of the World War II battleship Yamato
- A robotic, giant chess set that can replay historical matches or take on an opponent
- A three-level, remote-controlled Jawa Sandcrawler, complete with moving conveyor belt
- Whether you're a card-carrying LEGO fanatic or just thinking fondly about that dusty box of - LEGO in storage, The Cult of LEGO will inspire you to take out your bricks and build something amazing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

不，這不是一本關於加入某個邊緣邪教的書。這是一本由樂高迷為樂高迷寫的書，你和你的孩子一定會喜歡它。

在《樂高教派》中，Wired的GeekDad博主約翰·拜克塔爾（John Baichtal）和BrickJournal創始人喬·梅諾（Joe Meno）帶領你進入樂高社區，介紹其中的人物和他們的創作。

《樂高教派》向我們介紹了來自各行各業的樂高迷和建築師。像是專業樂高藝術家納森·薩威亞（Nathan Sawaya）；神秘的荷蘭畫家伊戈·萊昂納德（Ego Leonard）（他堅稱自己實際上是一個樂高迷）；皮克斯動畫師安格斯·麥克萊恩（Angus MacLane），他建造了立體方塊人，這些虛構角色一眼就能辨認出來；《樂高聖經》的創作者布倫丹·鮑威爾·史密斯（Brendan Powell Smith），他使用樂高來插圖聖經故事；還有亨利·林（Henry Lim），他的作品包括一系列重現M.C.埃舍爾（M.C. Escher）石版畫和一個全尺寸、可運作的樂高大鍵琴。

讓我們驚嘆於壯觀的樂高創作，例如：

- 一個真人大小的劍龍和一個由8萬塊樂高組成的暴龍骨架
- 精細的微縮版地標，如雅典衛城和洋基體育場
- 一個長22英尺、重350磅的二戰戰艦大和號的再現
- 一個可以重播歷史比賽或對戰的機器人巨型西洋棋盤
- 一個三層的遙控賈瓦沙漠履帶車，配有移動輸送帶

無論你是一個狂熱的樂高迷，還是只是對那個被塵封的樂高盒子懷有美好回憶，《樂高教派》都會激發你拿出積木，創造出令人驚嘆的東西。
