    @@Ashnflash That's the thing tho, remember with the 3rd Ninjago character encyclopedia, they cut out a lot from the previous one just because of how many characters there are. If they made pages that wrap around the figure slot just like one of those nexo knights books, they would have more page space to further elaborate on everything. Also DK is notorious for errors, it's hilarious at points. I remember I saw a Ninjago set image from 2013 in a 2015 slot and they always get so many facts wrong. What can you really do, it's not professionals writing these books, they're really just made for kids who want a minifigure. I like them tho, they are kind of charming, I have fond memories of ordering them through scholastic by my teachers and flipping through them to see sets and figures that I didn't have. At the time, they weren't really sold in stores yet so ordering them was really cool to me.

    I definitely understand why it is so full of inaccuracies, it’s made for kids, not super-fans. The omissions make sense too, you can’t include every character and most kids, who probably just wanna look at cool mini figs won’t notice. The figures is a huge disappointment though. This book is also not made by Lego, which is probably why there are so many inaccuracies. ( I really liked the video and agree the book isn’t to great, but it will suffice for little kids) (:

    Good to see that LEGO recognize their comic book sets, but why the hadn't made them in a while? 2023 could have been the perfect opportunity to realize tons of comic book sets for both Spidey and Avengers or even the GOTG (knowing that we will just have Captain America 4 as the only movie for that year with the possibility to make sets of), but they are really stuck with Infinity Saga.

Another Pixar. This includes Lightyear, Elemental, Luca, and Turning Red. 4. Hocus Pocus Figure Series 5. Speed Racer figure series 6. Disneys Bolt mini figure set 7. Nick Jr and Nickelodeon Mini Figure Set 8 Disney Junior Minifigure Set 9. Fast And The Furious Minifigure set It would be cool if these were seen.

    If they include the nth iron man and is used in the comics I don't know what they are waiting for to give as a classic comic book mkII armor. Also the last pages of this book should be a list of every Minifigure by year with it's set number, we collector could use that. On another note, they should put the Minifigure with the book in a blister or something. This books take so much unnecessary self space.

    The thing is to me it’s just an MCU book not a comic book. Yes, they did appear comic characters, but most of their characters is just based on the MCU not really comic. No comic minfigs like Wasp; a founder of the Avengers. No Deadpool, Blade, Ghost Rider. Just MCU avengers and guardians of the Galaxy. That’s all I mostly see I am glad that they made like comic Spider-Man, but not even he can’t even topple all the mistakes of what Lego Marvel doing to me I give this book a 5/10 mostly because it’s just a MCU book. But I do love the mini figure it’s super comic accurate.
