Here is a short summary of the book:
Dr. Rob Park’s life is out of order. His estranged wife is leaving him, the relationship to his daughters is strained and his academic career is at a dead end. He escapes into the cult of LEGO and the study of classification systems. By sorting his collection of LEGO bricks he reconnects to his daughters and he maintains his sobriety while maneuvering in the bizarre world of academia. Prof. Dr. Smith and his newly found Adult Fans Of LEGO help him to find a new structure for himself, his brick collection and his family.
In my attempt to create the Unofficial LEGO Color Guide I had to acquire several rare watches. None of them had any good photos posted online, so that you could see the actual colors in detail. Notice that the colors are often the wrist band’s elements. So here you go, a short list of rare LEGO watches.
LEGO 4367 Star Pilot Watch
This watch was released in 2000 and it allows you to explore the night sky (northern and southern hemisphere). The watch also game with other wrist bands, but the pictures here show only the chain elements band. The transparent blue elements on the wrist band are in a unique color.

LEGO 4369 X Tracker Watch
This watch came with a compass attached to the wrist band and the watch supports outdoor navigation. The Army Green color of the wrist band elements and the watch attachment are unique to this watch.
LEGO 4369 X Tracker Watch
LEGO 4370 Grinder Fob Watch
This watch is unique since the watch element itself can be attached to three different holders. In particular the carabiner mount is special. The Gun Metallic color of the arm wrist elements is unique to this watch.

LEGO 4373 Dream Star Watch
This watch has no particular function, other than telling the time. The color of the metallic blue wrist elements are unique to this watch.

LEGO 9910 Cyclone Master Watch
This watch was three different wrist bands and some rings to attach to the main watch elements. The neon yellow of the watch ring and the wrist elements are a unique color.
I am happy to announce that The Complete LEGO Minifigure Catalog 1975-2015 is now available as a book and eBook. This book is the result of five years of work and it includes highly professional photographs of nearly all Minifigures. No other book can compete with its extensive coverage.
Using a new printing and publication channel this massive 580 pages book is available as a hard cover book. Even a Deluxe Edition is available that is printed using superior color printing technology. This is the definite guide for any Minifigure enthusiast or LEGO fan. This is the book that Minifigures deserve.
I designed a Classic Castle & Game Of Thrones t-shirt and it is up for vote at Threadless. Please vote for it so that it becomes available for production.
Huw over at Brickset just reviewed the Middle Earth LEGO Minifigure Catalog. Have a look and maybe you would like purchase a copy. Since the theme is pretty much done (except maybe for some figures in LEGO Dimensions), it should be future proof.
