31213: Mona Lisa LEGO Art Review
When the LEGO® Art theme was first launched it focused on mosaic-like images of pop culture icons. Each buildable image followed a similar style to create a wall-mountable picture and also offered the ability to combine sets to create larger images. But as the theme has evolved so too have the sets and the latest lets builders replicate a true masterpiece. Following LEGO Ideas’ take on a Van Gogh classic, it’s the turn of...
31212: The Milky Way Galaxy Set Review
For no particular reason, this year has become the Year of LEGO® Space. Not a celebration of the much-loved Classic Space sets, but a general admiration for space-based builds. The celebration of space has permeated across several LEGO themes and the latest to join the line-up is LEGO Art. This unique theme began life as a simple piece of wall art created from 1×1 studs or tiles but has evolved to create elaborate images using a...
31211: The Fauna Collection – Macaw Parrots Review
The LEGO® Art theme continues to provide unusual sets which offer something different to other LEGO sets. It’s also a theme which draws the attention of those who may not be LEGO fans. The LEGO Art sets began as simple mosaic-style displayable images but have evolved to create textured pieces of art inspired by pop culture. When this set was first rumoured, I expected it to be a cross between the Botanical Collection and the Van...
31209: The Amazing Spider-Man Art Review
The LEGO Group’s output of licensed themes has rapidly grown just as the focus on offering sets for older builders has. There’s now a golden trio of Disney themes which offer a wide range of products from simple DUPLO sets to intricate large-scale display pieces. Marvel has become a great source of inspiration for displayable builds and the set I’m taking an early look at today is one of the biggest so far....

In 2020, the LEGO Group introduced a new product line known as LEGO® Art. As the name suggests, the sets are built to create pieces of wall-mountable artwork. Previous sets have transformed various pop culture icons into unique buildable pictures. The latest addition to the line-up is inspired by DC Comics and the world of Batman. As the world’s great detective is set to return to the big screen in The Batman, the sets are...
LEGO ART Sets Review Round-up
Back in August, LEGO® introduced a brand new theme called LEGO ART. As the name suggests, it’s an artistic build experience which is also part of the 18+ product line. I’ve now built all four sets and reviewed each one, which you can check out by following the links below. I hope the product line expands with additional sets as the potential to encapsulate current licensed themes as well as introduce new ones, is endless....
31200: Star Wars The Sith LEGO ART Review
With a partnership spanning over 20 years, it was inevitable that Star Wars would inspire one of the new LEGO® ART sets. But with so many iconic characters to recreate as buildable art, it would be the Darkside which prevailed. Three generations of movies have each had their own big bad. From the original trilogy, it was the Dark Lord of the Sith – Darth Vader. From the prequels, it would be the menacing Sith Apprentice –...
