Yes the projects are a bit repetitive BUT the finished product is well worth it. After I built the original, I purchased 3 more immediately and finished them same week. Took about 10 hours collectively, but I’m so happy with it. Now just need to get them on the wall
You also have about 850 single pieces left over from each set, so you could get another board and get use them to get creative.
Lego, keep doing things like this. SOOOOOOO beautiful!
This is a great start to the Lego Art sector. I think this is an excellent choice, as it fits the form and style. I think that Roy Lichtenstein would have been a more obvious Pop Art choice, but there may have been size limitation. I have seen some original pieces at the local Lego store, so looking forward to more Lego Art.
One tip, there is a 5th version of the Marilyn that is not in th instructions. It is Blond on Blue background.
Makes such a cute picture. I worked on this with my kids and it is kind of a relaxing build. We did the box cover image switching #3 for #6 to tone down all that pink. Looks amazing ;)
If you’re a Warhol fan, you definitely need this in your collection! Absolutely love the fact that there are 4 different versions and you have the choice to pick your favorite! Personally, I chose to build the one featured on the box, but added blue eye shadow instead of pink - truly unique.
Thanks again Lego for supporting the art community, it’d be awesome to see some other famous painters to be featured next!
I love this set! I'm a huge Marilyn Monroe fan and really enjoyed putting the pixel pieces together to make Warhol's work of art. I listened to the podcast while I built it, and was impressed learning how much time and effort the two creators spent getting it just right. I built the option with the blue hair, and will likely switch out the colors a few months from now to change it up. It looks great on a wall by the way!
I also want to note that the majority of the 1 star reviews on here are solely because the user didn't read the description of the product and didn't realize that you can only build one option at a time in the set. I knew this already before purchasing because I read the description and it was very clear. So don't mind most of the 1 star ratings since it's their own fault they didn't read the description. This is NOT a 1 star product. It is high quality with bright colors and a very unique look. Great for someone who loves Marilyn (or Warhol)!
These sets to me are extremely boring and repetitive when following the instructions. However these art sets get a high rating from me. I hadn't purchased a lego product since the early '90s until I saw this Marilyn set. I had to have it to learn how lego created it. I am a successful pop artist and wanted to turn some of my work into Lego art. I have purchased five of the Marilyn sets and three of The Beatles sets as well as ordered a TON of tiles and plates to create my own custom artwork. The way Lego can be used to create modern art is the coolest thing about Lego. Please, Lego, do not discontinue the art set and please expand on the potential of these sets.
I finished her face and I’m missing three of the # 6 color. I’ve gone back through and made sure I did it all right and I have. I loved putting it together and it wasn’t too hard, but it was a bummer seeing I’m missing some and I’m hoping I am not missing any other pieces. I was thinking about buying three more, but I’m not so sure.
I would recommend this to a friend!
