I don't think it is realistic to build these animals unless you either have a ton of well organized specialty pieces or are very experienced at ordering bricks. I bought it for Christmas and wanted to be sure I had all the pieces so that I could build a couple animals with my son. It took me hours on Bricklink to order pieces for two animals, cost $55, and I had to order from four companies. All the sellers on Bricklink have different rules about minimum total orders and even minimum average price per lot. Ordering directly from lego takes a few weeks. A few parts in the book are not numbered correctly, so I couldn't order them. This book would be much better if there was also an option to buy a set with all the pieces needed to build the animals plus a budget set option with everything the same color so you could reuse more pieces. That said, I am still excited build the animals and learn new techniques....","review_amount":"12","rating_original":"4.2","rating_converted":"84.00","author_name":null,"embed":null},{"review_url":"http:\/\/www.brickfanatics.co.uk\/beasts-from-bricks-review\/","snippet":"This book is about the instructions rather than presenting beautiful images of the models. The execution is spot on, with clear pages and a variety of interesting beasts to build. This should be added to the bookshelf for LEGO fans looking to get inspired by the natural world.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":"4","rating_converted":"80.00","author_name":"Graham","embed":null},{"review_url":"https:\/\/www.brothers-brick.com\/2017\/09\/15\/beasts-bricks-review\/","snippet":"The 15 models in the book are fun and use some clever building techniques that will please young builders and adults alike. I especially like the sense of character and movement that Ekow has brought to each of the animals.","review_amount":null,"rating_original":null,"rating_converted":null,"author_name":"Elspeth De Montes","embed":null}]}
