I ordered it online (I'm in Taiwan, which is next to Japan) two
weeks ago, and the book arrived last Monday. It costs me $30.
The shipping charge in Japan is extreme and unbelievable high.
Don't ask me why..... I don't know either.
The books is fantastic. I think every LEGO fan should have one :)
I don't know Japanese either. Sometimes there are many Chinese
characters in Japanese articles and I can guess through the words.
However, the book does not have much Chinese words. >_<
Fortunately, there are many English words (Japanese likes to use
English :D) and I can still get some information.
I think we should push LEGO company to publish the English
version. It's worty because the book is the best LEGO reference
book I have seen, and I think many LEGO fans will buy it
immediately :D
There are some topics are missed in Vol. 1. Including pirate, castle,
Duplo, Technical and DETCA. How could Japanese forget the "Ninja",
which is one of the most successful theme? Well, I believe the
coming "vol2"(will be published in 2004 spring) will address more
in those areas.
