This video demonstrates how the Thriller Automatic works. It's a slide action lego crossbow featured in this book.

I ordered this book, not really knowing what was in it. its very detailed, and has funny pictures of the author posing with the gun in combat fatigues. but only 1 gun design is included plus one variation of that gun. this "book" is more magazine sized. that said, it's very cool. price isn't bad, so if you really like lego, get it, it's worth it for a neat project...

This is a great idea, but I suspect it was a lot more fun to create than it is to actually "read." You have to really be an avid Lego-lover to want to build the projects contained in this book. And you either need to already own an incredible array of Lego pieces (preferably neatly cataloged and stored), or be willing to place a substantial order of individual bricks from the company. I didn't take the time to figure out how much it would cost to build one of the guns designed by the author, but I suspect it would be very steep.

But don't let me stop you if you love building Lego models from scratch instead of in a pre-packaged kit. That's just not my thing and I don't have the time to invest in doing so. Still, it was interesting to see what they came up with. For me, though, I don't think it will ever go beyond a curiosity on paper.
