[@Moorpheus19]

I think it would be better if it had some sort of depth. Mountains being a stud higher than surroundings or something. Would make it much more interesting.

[@AlbertoDsign]

Came here to say this. What it could have been, and what it is in the end...

[@coasterguy]

It's LEGO. Since the land masses are plates rather than tiles, it would be a very simple matter to add extra plates on to places with mountains, etc. Maybe use cheese slopes for the big ranges. SOOOOO many options. I mean... it's not the sort of set that screams, "this is perfect like it is, don't modify it!" or anything

[@AlbertoDsign]

@@coasterguy Problem is that you have to outsorce thousands of pieces by yourself now, making it way more costly and it's a huge amount of work to plan which pieces and how many to use.

[@coasterguy]

@@AlbertoDsign I see your point, but it doesn't matter what colours Lego chose, there would be a bunch of people unhappy with the choices. I love that the land masses are white, as that makes it very easy to swap out the pieces to show where you've been or add little micro scale landmarks or whatever. And while yes, you might need to source the pieces you want, they're pretty cheap to do because they're so small. Also, people who've been into Lego for a minute likely have a bunch of pieces they can use in their collections already.

[@AlbertoDsign]

@@coasterguy I understand what you mean too. But, being lego, if the land were coloured that wouldn't mean you can't change it either, so it works both ways. Micro scale landmarks would be super cool, but those could be added to a non-white map again. And then, I know people who make custom mosaics using the Star Wars and alike as a base, and by ordering the pieces for those they still cost to bricklink them way way more than a normal set, we're talking about 200 euro or more in some cases. This is much bigger, so it isn't far fetched to think that we would be talking upwards of 500 euro in parts alone to customize, that is twice of what the whole set costs, for less pieces. Plus then again all the man hours to design it and source the parts. And not everybody has a big pile of loose round 1x1s to use, I've been collecting for many years for example yet the only ones I have are from the extras, since I have all of my sets built. And even then 1x1 plates aren't the most common pieces either.

[@antoninschulz6757]

Would be way cooler, if the ocean were in different shades of blue and the landmass were detailed with the vegetation and mountains

[@michellewhitley8668]

Do you have the option to change it the way that you want I have 1 million of these little tiles in other different colors and plan on changing it the way I want it like for every spot that I visit it’s going to be a red dot there are so many options with Lego nothing has to be done the way they do it it’s up to you

I wouldn't mind this having the highest piece count, but considering how little piece variety there is and how many of them are the cheapest possible pieces to produce, it feels off that this would be around half the price of the colosseum. I think 150-170 would be a more fitting price.

[@AstroBlakeD]

would the only time i would agree that a 200$ price is fair for lego

better 5$, because it's mayor competent is printing a map for 0$, the 5$ of price should just be because of the price of the plastic

[@535phobos]

@B O ꓭ Wow. You could literally buy bags of studs on bricklink or from cheaper brands for probably under 100 bucks, the plastic is worth nothing. And the design process in this set is non existant. Every kid who ever played around with MS paint could have done that, so no money for a designer either...

[@heall_8589]

@@535phobos I agree that the price is steep for the product, but generally lego is worth way more than the price of the material used not only because of it;s designs but also because they have an ungodly rigorous quality control with very impressivly thin dimension tolerance.

[@535phobos]

@@heall_8589 That may be, and overall I would rate Lego bricks the best, but there are multiple other brands that are just as good. Some have bricks that hold much better, or different shapes. All in all, Legos prices arent justified by their quality.

[@koma-k]

I guess the idea is that you fill in the white map with markers for places you've been or whatever, but as was pointed out the problem is that the seabed is too colourful so your markers are not as visible as most would want, especially as your most typical travel destinations are generally close to the coast or maybe even on islands. I think LEGO "overthought" the palette a bit, trying to make it colourful but then not noticing it tends to grab the attention from any markers you may have placed. A more traditional, subdued set of colours for the water would have been nice. I guess you could always buy a couple of The Sith sets for the dark blues and greys ;-)

I get what they were going for I guess, but honestly this thing is just a boring ugly build.

[@theboybandana6372]

There is a projection that has the US in the center that was used to “boost patriotism” and “support the country” (think from about 50s-70s, mainly in elementary school learning), but it was pretty largely abandoned years ago because it distorts everything worse than the mercator projection (Europe and Africa in the center)

[@clashcomeback539]

here in canada we use the same map as he did aswell

[@qdaniele97]

If I'm not wrong in Russia polar maps are often used because in the standard planisphere with the equator in the middle the proportions of countries in the far north or south are all messed up (for instance, Russia is a very big country but far less wide than it appears to be on most maps).

I feel like this set was made exclusively for me. I like maps. I REALLY like maps. I have about four dozen maps of Earth, maybe a little over one hundred country maps, four globes, around five maps of Middle Earth, one map of Oz, three maps of the known world from A Song of Ice and Fire, about ten maps of Tamriel and its constituent provinces, multiple maps of the Fallout universe, maps from Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2, GTA SA, Vice City, 4, and 5, maps of the Assassin’s Creed games, maps of Hyrule and the Mushroom Kingdom, three maps of Azeroth, a map of the Continent from The Witcher series, a map of Albion from all three Fable games, various maps from Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, a map of the Pokémon World up to Sun and Moon, and about maybe fifty or so other maps from various other properties, as well as many Atlas’, game strategy guides with map readouts, and historical map books. I even make my own maps, sometimes taking commission for them, working mainly with fantasy and sci-fi, but also alternate Earth maps for both my and my clients’ book series, game series, or RPG campaigns. So I love maps, they make me happy, and I just see this set as another beautiful map that I can hang on my wall for a relatively reasonable price (Lord only knows that I have spent way more on some of my other maps, like a woodcarved map of Middle Earth, or a topographical globe from my library’s surplus sale). I don’t have a lot of oceanographical maps either, so that’s cool too.

I found someone online that made an amazing underwater octopus scene with the exact same kit. I zoomed in on the picture and painstakingly replicated it. I love it so much more than the map.

When LEGO do boring they do it BIG!🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Arcaryon]

As a map, even a simplified one, this is a disgrace. The coastlines are just terrible. It’s a nice gimmick and one may use it to build an actually good map but this is just so off putting… Someone who loves the oceans may appreciate the design but oh boy, I have seen so much good Lego art over the years that this feels more like someone took a hobby project to the company and for whatever reason, it got approved.

[@hellomarisolmo]

I love this one! I want to add it to my wall. A pricy piece though.

[@mattelder]

Really weird colour choices... think LEGo have missed the obvious and you are just left scratching your head wondering "why?"

[@SpykersB]

Sooooooo what colours should it have been? .....now I’m scratching my head 😆.

[@awesomeatronik]

@@SpykersB I personally would like less pastel colours and more normal colours. To me it looks like a very spring time seasonal map.

[@TorianTammas]

The normal colour you find on normal maps.

[@AzureGeddes]

I like how the world map is the biggest set because it is the world. Lego did say to “rebuild the world”.

[@coasterguy]

I'm super-geeked about this set and can't wait to get my hands on it. There's a blank space on my wall that I've been looking to fill and this is perfect. As a roller coaster enthusiast, I've traveled all over the globe to find new coasters to ride and this will be a fun way to keep track of my travels (although you're right, doing it will white cones seems like not the best way to do that. I'll be using pieces from my own collection, maybe flags?). I'm also happy that the land masses are plates rather than tiles, because it will be easier to remove those to swap to other colours once I'm able to visit new places again. As for the buildable colour guide, YES YES YES YES OMG I wish they'd included that with the Beatles sets, as many of those colours were much closer in hue than the ones in this set and trying to tell the difference between the dark blues, dark browns, black, and such became a real eye strain, especially if there was a bit of glare on the instruction book. You mention the audio download - what was it? Music from around the world? And yes, while "The Biggest Lego Set Ever" doesn't immediately conjure up a Lego Art set, that doesn't keep me from wanting this, big time. I was even thinking about doing a MOC of the world map already and now I can still do that, but without having to source those 16x16 plates or a boatload of round tiles.

[@TiagoCatarino]

I'm happy to see that at least some people do love this, awesome :)

[@thorakvideos2495]

These reviews are just fantastic, love the little creative additions you add! I have wanted this exact idea of a Lego set for years, but the bright colors really wouldn't fit my house... :/ Might just buy it and change out the colors for a more "traditional" style world map. Going to have to move quickly before those tiles go up in price on BL :O

[@jimbolic0809]

OMG. I never knew I loved listening to (and watching) Lego dots being dumped in a container 1:50

[@PikaFan2001]

LEGO fans finding excuses to hate every set made after their childhood

[@akab211]

Love the sound of falling pieces. ❤

[@ELI-2-omg-wow]

Titanic has left the chat

[@curiousmario]

Lol

[@tehberral]

As someone who makes large perler bead art, this looks like the tedium of placing the beads and none of the stress of ironing. So that's... something, I guess.

[@jkb2016]

Good that I never grew up, so I can keep on collecting sets targeted at kids and pass on that expensive, sophisticated adult stuff...

[@JeremiahBurns]

I think it's very interactive as a LEGO set and as a map.

[@SirBricks]

It doesn’t look that good in my opinion. I am not a big fan of the colors, and the build is probably rather boring

[@ackerkartoffel8627]

this was actually the type of set i imagined when i thought about the biggest lego set

[@Nikioko]

This set shows that pure piece count is nonsense. 11695 pieces and 10240 of them are 1x1 studs.
