![]() ![]() We did rigorous testing on them, you know, pulling them off the wall and back on the wall, off the wall, on the wall… so, a lot of stuff done multiple times.” But, you know, you would hang a canvas with two, so we want to replicate that kind of feeling that you would get from hanging a canvas on the wall. Sam explains “Each set includes two hangers but you don't necessarily need to use both to hang the product, it can hang with one. Two Technic pins go in the top of the hanging element to attach it to the 16x16 bricks. We did see it, however, during the Fan Media Days event and from memory it looks similar to a Technic panel of perhaps around 3x8 modules in size but with large holes that you can hook over a nail or a screw in the wall. The final new mould is the hanging element, which frustratingly is not pictured in the press kit at all. they’re big and as lot are already needed simply to go into the products). “For now, these elements are exclusive to LEGO Art,” Sam said, going on to indicate they probably wouldn’t be available on Bricks and Pieces or similar to begin with, perhaps due to production limitations (i.e. So for the stability this product requires, this new POOP version has been moulded. Which, if you then hung it on a wall sideways, would surely come apartimmediately. This new baseplate – or base brick? – is definitely a POOP (Parts outta other parts), indeed I threw this together (in grey parts instead of black) to show you the general design of its underside: They're all joined together with Technic pins, and then we build the frame around the image which holds it together and they're really rigid, so they can hang on the wall.” The finished art is 40cm square. Each product contains nine of these plates and they connect together in a tiled system so it's three by three for the squares. Also to give you enough space behind it for the screws sticking out the wall. So, we've allowed for the space of a brick. The reason is because we wanted to be able to attach the Technic connector on the back. It is four plates high, kind of strange for LEGO. The press kit does show the new baseplate, however not in as much detail as we may like so I will let Sam explain: “We also have a very exciting 16 by 16 brick, which has Technic holes in the sides, and is kind of hollow on the back. And again, it is still super strong… even though it's the size of an ironing board!” Darth Vader is a vertical image while Iron Man is horizontal – another little product differentiation. So this takes three boxes to build, but we do include the instructions online. Iron Man and the Sith less so a fact that I suspect TLG must have realised, as they added an extra goodie into the Marvel and Star Wars sets, as Sam explains: “If you buy three of them and think you really don't want to have these three on display anymore, you can actually take them apart and build one huge combined image. Hopefully you don’t love all four of these icons equally! Personal preferences aside, I would say The Beatles design provides the greatest impetus to purchase multiples, although there is a clear reason for the Warhol set also. Sci-fi lovers will need to fork out US$359.97/ £344.97/ €359.97 for either of the Marvel or Star Wars triptychs. Then, for those of you with US$479.96/ £459.96/ €479.96 to spare, you can buy four Marilyns or Beatles to display all at once. ![]()
