On track...
- an update from Unbound –
In the last month we’ve been working hard on the cover for The Secret Life of LEGO® Bricks - we can’t reveal it just yet but we hope you’ll be very pleased when you see it!
The page proofs are looking great; there are so many LEGO treasures to pore over.
The schedule is on track. We anticipate finished copies reaching our warehouse from the printer in early November, when Daniel will be heading to the UK to sign copies. Then we will dispatch them to pledgers right away (depending on where you are in the world and which rewards you have bought, the delivery times will vary).
More updates from us and Daniel Konstanski soon!
Top rewards
LEGO® prototype element and minifigure
Only 500 available.The LEGO Group is offering for the first time ever, a brand-new, specially 3D printed prototype element on which you can give your personal feedback. It comes with its own AFOL-themed minifigure.
Printed in Billund, Denmark, the element is yet to be finalized so it will be a surprise when you receive it, but we can tell you that this isn't something you will have seen before. The element will present a new integrated function as a part of our exploration of new design and play functions. It is the first time the LEGO Group is asking AFOLs and fans to give their thoughts on a specific element while the technology is being developed.

How about a new update?
It's been so long since the last news.
Maybe there's a little preview?

Hopefully there's a new update coming soon! It's been months... I really hope that the publishing date hasn't been pushed back even further. Fingers crossed all is going well!

I agree with Harald Schulz. Almost been 3 months since the last update and supposedly the book comes out in November which is only 2 months away. Updates would be much appreciated!

Agreed. The book is supposed to release in November which is in three weeks, where are these exciting new updates? Where are also the updates of what the AFOL minifigure and prototype piece gonna be?

at this point since LEGO Media day just happened a few weeks ago, I'm thinking the prototype will be the duck. Also, did anyone else notice that the listed price for the prototype pledge went from the original $135 to now listed at $115 here on unbound, what's up with that?

Hello Unbound Support Team
It's been almost four weeks now.
LEGO fans are always impatient when it comes to their hobby.
What about the promised "very exciting updates"?
The supporters and I are waiting for great news.
It would be nice to find out something soon.
Best wishes,
Harald

Not a good look to ignore the supporters

So....apparently LEGO House's AFOL day took the mystery off the "prototype element and AFOL-themed minifigure. I'm wondering if that's why they silently dropped the price of that tier by $20 (since they went from 500 available to potentially 1,100).
From the lack of followup to the announcement of "exciting updates in the coming weeks" and the lack of definite time period, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything until they say they're ready to ship out books.

Hello!
Thank you all for your patience. As this project is a partnership there are many stages to the approval of updates and we're working hard to get one to you as soon as possible. We are still on track for delivery and will have an update this week with some extracts from the book. Please note the price change referred to in the previous comment was due to a change in the currency rates after The Secret Life of LEGO rewards were no longer for sale.
Best wishes,
Lena
