We used to build Lego kits with our kids.  But our kids grew up and our son now has his own kids (our grandkids).  What better Father's Day gift than a Lego kit for him?

I thumbed through this book while waiting for an appointment. It is full of amazing LEGO builds. Just pictures of the final builds, not an instruction guide.
