I particularly like the “Did You Know?” section on each page that shares something about the history of the particular minifigure, or interesting facts about the design process or accessories included. I believe LEGO history fans will love this! (Click images for larger view.)

There are also little stories for each of the characters about their personalities and how they fit into the LEGO world. Also there are directions to pages in the book to similar characters under the “See Also” section.

In the past LEGO regularly provided alternate building instructions with pretty much every LEGO set, to give more value and stimulate creativity and fun. Unfortunately these days that is rarely the case, except for LEGO Creator and LEGO Technic sets.  However if you visit the LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles website, you will notice that LEGO provides some fun alternatives to five of the LEGO TMNT sets in the Donnie’s Lab section. So let’s take a look at all the alternate builds as they are quite fun! 😛

LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Donnie's Lab
