The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 2: Cars and Contraptions Review: Great fun for learning about motion with LEGO and Technic parts, but may require additional parts! - Yoshihito Isogawa has some great ideas in these books. Some of them are so complex that it baffles me how they were created. I'm no LEGO MOC (my own creation) designer, so perhaps it becomes second nature when you do it enough. That said, the execution of this and his other books are fantastic. The creations are fun, silly at times, and extremely useful if you're looking for solutions to your own MOCs! I really liked that not all sections of the book were catered to showing full builds, but rather ways to handle things like the battery and motor placements, as well as solid structures to support the weight that both could add to a build. My only slight critique, and I made this in my other reviews, was that I wish it had numbered indications for the Technic holes and LEGO studs so I could tell, at a glance, the size of lift arms or plates I'd need to collect to do a build. Not a deal breaker by any means but something that LEGO instructions and sites like Rebrickable do that can really cut down on the time it takes to collect the parts for a build. Also, I agree with other reviewers that mention the need for a vast collection of LEGO/Technic pieces to perform some of the builds. Never fear, however, as there are off-brand Technic and LEGO parts available that will do the job nearly as perfect as LEGO, themselves! Review: Wonderful book for building - My kids cant get enough of this is lego book. They use it all the time to make amazing lego creations. It helps spark ideas for building. Not only the models in the book but it helps kids or adults create their own versions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #101,904 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Model Building #43 in Robotics & Automation (Books) #108 in Crafts for Children (Books) | | Book 2 of 2 | The LEGO Power Functions Idea | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (406) | | Dimensions | 8.07 x 0.75 x 10 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1593276893 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1593276898 | | Item Weight | 2.21 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 328 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2015 | | Publisher | No Starch Press | | Reading age | 10 years and up | ## Images ![The LEGO Power Functions Idea Book, Vol. 2: Cars and Contraptions - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yEgr-0pjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great fun for learning about motion with LEGO and Technic parts, but may require additional parts! *by M***. on June 6, 2025* Yoshihito Isogawa has some great ideas in these books.
