I just had it confirmed that the BIONICLE Makuta's Guide to the Universe book I wrote for AMEET will be available in the US, through LEGOShop.com and in LEGO brand retail stores.
Excellent, now I have two books to get this year (doubt I'll buy the movie novelization, probably just rent the movie or watch it on the internet). That brings to mind, I have to pre-order Raid on Vulcanus or whatever it's called...
1) As far as I know, it will be the hardcover edition. 2) I don't know if the activity books will be made available as well 3) It will be in LEGO stores and on LEGOShop ONLY. The reason for this is that LEGO licensees can sell their goods through LEGO outlets anywhere in the world, but the rights to sell in other stores belong to the licensee for that territory. In this case, Scholastic has publishing rights for the US, so AMEET cannot sell BIONICLE books in Barnes and Noble, etc.
It'll be very nice to see things from the masterminds perspective, that should be one amazing book.
I will have to see when I get to be in a Lego store again.

However, will it ONLY be available online and at Lego stores or will it be elsewhere as well?
EDIT: Is it too much to ask if the hardcover edition will be available as well?
Does this mean the six books with The Crossing will come out eventually in english too?
This one might make me actually go out and buy a Bionicle book again x3 I hope it's good =D
