Tag: LEGO Art

LEGO Art is just the theme for LEGO collectors who love art, primarily of the 2D form. Sets from the LEGO Art line don’t really take up that much space. Assembling the tile-mosaic designs is also fun, especially if the set offers variations on imagery. Recent LEGO Art products range from superhero comic-book artwork to tributes to legendary musical artists. In the latter category, we’ve heard rumors from back in March about the imminent arrival of a LEGO Art Rolling Stones set featuring the legendary rock band. Unlike February’s Elvis Presley “The King” (31204), this one doesn’t actually feature the artist/s. But it’s still cool.

Brick Fanatics tells us that LEGO’s confirmed LEGO Art “The Rolling Stones” (31206) via a LEGO.com product listing. It’s no tile-art of Mick Jagger and crew, but instead a 22-in x 18.5-in brick-built rendition of the band logo. This massive LEGO icon, unconstrained by the fixed square/rectangular frames of previous LEGO Art, looks great on a wall. Perhaps that non-conventional design might explain the now-confirmed $149.99 price, despite having only 1,998 pieces. It also appears to be 3D in texture, compared to the painting-style convention of past LEGO Art sets.

Apparently, the set also has a QR code for listening to an online Rolling Stones soundtrack. That sounds great for when assembling LEGO Art Rolling Stones (31206). Expect this set to launch on August 1, what with the Rolling Stones celebrating a-rockin’ 60 years.

Last week, we featured a couple of new sets for the LEGO Art line. Both items boasted, despite the difference in subjects, nearly similar design features. Use the thousands of included colored LEGO tiles to create one of three possible art designs. That way, LEGO Artists would be inspired to change up the portraits they put on a shelf or wall. The beauty part however, comes when collectors buy multiple copies of one specific set. They could combine the base plates to create a secret large artwork. Now, when first listed, Elvis Presley “The King” (31204) didn’t showcase the combined artwork. Now we know it.

According to The Brick Fan, LEGO.com finally added to the gallery of Elvis Presley “The King” (31204) its secret artwork. As seen in the banner image, it’ll need three copies of the aforementioned LEGO Art set. The result is a sweet large portrait of Elvis playing the guitar with a suit and a smile. This is certainly one option to pursue if you think the three headshots from the base set aren’t enough. LEGO Art Elvis Presley “The King” (31204) is priced at $119.99 per set, launching on March 1.

This LEGO Art set was announced last week alongside Jim Lee Batman Collection (31205). Much like the Elvis set, 31205 also has a secret artwork, two in fact. Three copies of the set combined can net a large Batman portrait. Two can make a landscape-oriented double-headshot of Batman and Catwoman.

Last week, we gazed in wonder at the official product listing of a new upcoming LEGO Art set. At least, fans of superheroes in general and DC’s Batman in particular would. After all, the Art set in question not only depicts the Dark Knight (and some of his equally iconic rogues). The designs were based on actual artwork by Jim Lee, comic-book artist extraordinaire and publisher-chief creative officer of DC Comics. Surely the Jim Lee Batman Collection (31205) won’t be topped by any other LEGO Art set coming soon? To that, the King of Rock and Roll issues a challenge.

Brickset tells us that LEGO.com has a new LEGO Art listing: Elvis Presley “The King” (31204). This one is for music lovers, especially followers of The King. One can use the tiles to build one of three possible Elvis portraits. Do you want the fresh-faced rocker, the movie star or The King in glory? Even better, combine three sets 31204 to create a memorabilia artwork that LEGO’s keeping secret for now. Like the Jim Lee Batman Collection (31205), LEGO Art Elvis Presley “The King” is coming out this March 1.
