Editorial Reviews

Review

“David Scarfe should be proud of his book, it is very well-written and entertaining to boot. With the holidays just around the corner, it might make the perfect gift for that LEGO fan you know!”
—The Retroist

“Every project has a certain retro charm and kids in particular are bound to find something they fancy having a go at building, and because everything is made from basic parts, the chances are they'll have most them already. It's therefore the ideal Christmas gift for upcoming LEGO master builders!”
—Brickset

“Overall this is a great book that I’d highly recommend for the seasoned brick fanatic or someone that might have a passing interest. It would make a great Christmas gift and offer an activity that the whole family could get involved with. Geeky LEGO Crafts provides enough ideas to make even the rainiest of days that little bit brighter and I, for one, would definitely welcome a second volume in the near future.”
—Brick Fanatics

“I particularly liked the Cassette Letter Holder (excellent use of colour) and the Floppy Disk Coasters, mainly because of their vintage feel. The book looks like the perfect companion to one or more large Classic Creative Brick Boxes, as a source of additional inspiration.”
—Hispabrick Magazine

“David Scarfe has curated an eclectic mix of LEGO projects, which will challenge some and inspire others to delve into their LEGO bricks and build something a little out of the norm.”
—Bricks Fans

“If I was to pick my favorite LEGO book of this year, I would most assuredly say Geeky LEGO Crafts by David Scarfe, and published by No Starch Press, is it. Flipping through this book has been a delightfully entertaining experience.”
—The Brickside

“If you know someone who loves video games or anything remotely geeky, this LEGO book would make a great gift, as would the final LEGO builds that are included inside.”
—Happy Healthy Hip Parenting

“This is a 'must' buy for fans of quirky and geeky LEGO builds. It will also be popular with LEGO fans who want to learn build techniques that they can use to build useful models around the home; such as the cassette letter holder, retro controller phone station or giant key holder.”
—Steven Combs

Finally a LEGO model book for kids
Finally No Starch Press has made the LEGO book I've been waiting for. Geeky Lego Crafts: 21 Fun and Quirky Projects by David Scarfe is the perfect LEGO book for kids and adults. This nicely hardbound book covers a bunch of silly crafts from the decorative: ghosts, ducks, and Tetris kitchen magnets, to amusingly useful: floppy disk coasters, a key shaped key chain rack, and a flame shaped toast holder, among other quirky items. The photos are nice and the instructions are very clear.I am a fan of No Starch's LEGO books in general, but a consistent flaw I've found is that they often require lots of small specialty bricks. The LEGO Christmas Ornaments book I recently reviewed, required a lot of small pieces that most people won't have in their collections; or at least not in the same color and quanity required to build the models. Geeky Lego Crafts, however, is different. Every model is built with standard bricks. This not only makes the models easier to build but also possible to constsruct with the average child's LEGO collection. Finally a book for all ages.You can see below three models my 5yr old and I created. We ran out of yellow bricks for the duck so we substituted a few reds. I think it turned out great.

Definitely not appropriate for a child. Projects would be unknown items to teens and below. Great for a “geeky” adult. Returned.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
My children (14, 12, 10) love Legos! We try to go to their monthly Lego building events sponsored by our local ToysRus. The only issue I have with Legos is that they are expensive and to build most of these crafts with the appropriate colors then I need to purchase MORE Legos.

The book that we received is a beautifully bound hardcover. There are 21 fun crafts that are labeled 'Geeky'. What they mean by this is that any individual that is in the gaming world and older games/movies from the 80's & 90's will most definitely appreciate this small collection of crafts. The book lays out the number of pieces required for each Lego craft and numbered steps with easy to follow images until the last step and final product with a rating of Easy, Medium or Hard. I personally loved this format because I tend to be a more visual builder than reader. This is only when it comes to building. My personal favorite is the giant key that can be used as a key holder or key chain! For the nostalgic lover of games there is the Space Invaders stationary holder for your desk, the flying ducks (reminiscent of Duck Hunt), the Hanging Ghost, Floppy Disk coasters, Retro Controller Phone Station ( It is a Nintendo-esque controller) and Tetris style Fridge Magnets.

Included Crafts:
Space Invader Stationary Holder
Cursor Bookends ( PC hand pointer & Hourglass)
Rubber Ducky
Flying Ducks (Duck Hunt)
Christmas Hanging Decorations(Santa & Snowman)
Flame Toast Rack
Zombie Pencil Holder
Hazmat Place mats
Hanging Ghost ornament
Floppy Disk Coasters
Vintage Cassette Letter Holder
Sword-In-The-Stone paperweight
Retro Controller Phone Station (Nintendo)
Lady Liberty Fish Tank ornament (iconic scene from Planet of the Apes film)
Hanging Fuzzy Dice
Giant Key Holder
Mounted Magnetic Deer
Tetris Style Fridge magnets
Bearskin rug mat
Grenade planter
Robot Wine Bottle Holder

Highly recommend this craft book for any aged Lego Craft lover. My 10 year old loves all retro things so this book was a hit. I can see breaking out this book at not only various aged kid's parties but the occasional adult one as well. Boy, girls, teens, and adults will all surely find a craft that they love.

If one is looking for basic models, this is a fair book. There are many others in the same price bracket that has more complex models. Also, if you do purchase, make sure to read the back of the book for all the other materials you will need for 4 of the models.

Geeky LEGO Crafts: 21 Fun and Quirky Projects

As a child of the 70s and 80s, many of these models “speak” to me; especially the space invader space savers and cassette letter holder. Younger generations will enjoy the rubber ducky and Christmas decorations. What David and No Starch have created is a book that can be enjoyed by LEGO fans of all ages.

This is a wonderful book to have handy throughout the holiday season. Parents will enjoy the nostalgia inside the book, while children will be itching to grab their tub of LEGO bricks and begin building Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holiday decorations or even gifts.

I can tell that a lot of love and attention goes into each No Starch LEGO book. This love and attention makes it hard for me not to recommend their titles. This is a “must” buy for fans of quirky and geeky LEGO builds. It will also be popular with LEGO fans who want to learn build techniques that they can use to build useful models around the home; such as the cassette letter holder, retro controller phone station or giant key holder. Get your copy today and I dare you not to open it until Christmas.
