Solscud007 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I saw this too at Walmart. I didnt buy it. But it comes with, what I assume, a mini polybag X-wing. Im curious to see the Excerpted Dictionary. It is about the same size as Character Encyclopedia. But half of the book is to accommodate the X-wing. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I would say, 'meh', to this... But look at the price! $11.97 is already well below MSRP for the Visual Dictionary, plus you have the X-wing, which I believe retails for $4.99 if you find it. Nice find. Quote

Yes but the key component is the tiny text "excerpted edition" next to the Visual Dictionary. So it is not a complete Dictionary. Merely an abridged version. I much prefer my complete edition Dictionary. Quote

sharky Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Looks like something that one might buy a KFOL for a Christmas gift. I can't imagine an AFOL getting this when the dictionary is not complete and no minifigure. The publisher looks to be really milking this. Quote

sharky Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I saw these today at Walmart. That Visual Dictionary is really slim. There were quite a few on the shelf I might add. Quote

It is an "excerpted edition" aka abridged. So it is probably highlights of the real Visual Dictionary. Quote
