About Activity Books with LEGO Parts
Brickmaster at the top
The heaviest titles belong to the Brickmaster line, which paired a book of instructions and puzzles with a box of parts for several small models. Star Wars: Brickmaster (2855113-1) from 2011 leads with 251 pieces. Legends of Chima: Brickmaster: The Quest for CHI (5002773-1) from 2013 has 187, and the earliest in the list, Pirates: Brickmaster (0756672805-1) from 2009, has 162. Atlantis: Brickmaster (0756668530-1) followed in 2010 with 157. These boxed editions are the closest thing in the Books range to a regular set.
Ninjago and the stolen crystals
Ninjago features twice among the largest books: Ninjago: Brickmaster (0756682762-1) from 2011 with 154 pieces and Ninjago: Brickmaster: Fight The Power Of The Snakes (11903-1) from 2012 with 156. The Star Wars story of the stolen crystals also appears twice, as Star Wars: Brickmaster: Battle for the Stolen Crystals (5004103-1) from 2013 with 191 pieces and as Star Wars: Read Build Play - Battle for the Stolen Crystals (9781553632832-1) from 2016 with 196. As the counts differ, each has its own parts list.
Beyond the big boxes
Most of the 467 titles are much smaller than these, typically a softcover activity book with a minifigure or a handful of bricks attached. They are an easy way to add characters to a collection, and the parts list for each entry shows exactly what the book should include. If the bricks have already joined your main collection, What can I build? on Bricoria can show which sets they help complete. Sorting such pieces back by book is rarely necessary, but the lists make it possible when you want to rebuild a specific title.
