[@SolidBrixStudios]

Ah Tiago this might be the first time I disagree with you. I personally LOVE this set, it is absolutely stunning. I've been wanting a forced perspective LEGO set for years, so this is a dream come true for me. And $170 for 2,300 pieces is an incredible deal too.

[@TiagoCatarino]

It's definitively a great LEGO deal, LEGO Ideas sets are probably the best price per piece ratio sets out there. I don't hate this one though, it's just weird... :P Beautiful colors, great building experience, awesome parts. Display value in my eyes, not that great. But I'm clearly wrong here, reading trough all the comments! :P

[@vezokpiraka]

@@TiagoCatarino Honestly, I'm already making space in the room to hang it. Lego sets have the problem of taking up too much space when you have a lot and a Lego set that can fit on a wall is the best solution for this. I don't like the art sets cause they don't really look like Lego and more like a weird plastic print, but this is great specifically because it is build in a 3D fashion. But I guess I'm not the typical Lego fan as I have bought all flower sets and love them to death.

[@evergreen7754]

Exactly. One aspect of why it works imo is that it's instantly recognizable, despite being both Lego and 3d.

[@BrickFort_]

@@TiagoCatarino you’re not wrong, just in the minority, I like it though

[@achickcalledpebble6767]

@@TiagoCatarino Do you get to keep the review sets?

[@MONINOW]

I REALLY like how since everything sticks out it provides depth to it and the framing as well is perfect for this set. Very impressed with the outcome of this

[@drumOska]

Ayyyy lego KZbin is all over this comment section!

[@aplayz752]

Although it’s nice, it sticks out too much and makes it look super weird from angles where you aren’t looking straight at it from the front.

[@tink6225]

im actually in love w the design

[@hachiroku24]

Probably 100% impossible because of the context, but I would love if they do the Guernica.

[@nicdennis]

Picasso’s style definitely lends itself to a LEGO build, but yeah, they’ll choose a different painting of his for sure.

[@peasaregross16]

I’m subscribed to you

[@TiagoCatarino]

I had a 3000 piece puzzle of it in the past. I gave up and sold the puzzle, the thing was impossible to do :P I'm sure LEGO would never do it, and if they did, I would never attempt to build it :P

[@MrByyRyy]

Picasso was a rapist and a pedophile, not sure he's the most relevant artist to feature in a Lego set

[@Jess_Atomoxetine]

Guernica is an overrated piece to be honest

[@TiagoCatarino]

I AM NOT DOING A GIVEAWAY. Someone in the comments is using my profile pic and asking you sending a message on whatsapp. DO NOT DO IT, its a SCAM.

[@FerociousKZ]

Thanks for the quick resolve on this! I thought the message I got was weird. Too good to be true!

[@Arcaryon]

I was wondering about that, good thing it was rather obvious. Still a great video!

[@gbrogo7139]

Wish I had known earlier. There goes $80 down the drain

You misplaced the moon, it should be turned 90° to the right.

[@AdamJasper18]

When this set was announced I was thought it was a great concept and was looking forward to seeing how it would turn out. The final product has blown away all my expectations. I think it looks incredible and love how 3D it is.

[@Numberplay]

i was looking at this video and comparing it to what the original set looked like on my other monitor, they changed a lot of stuff to make the set more stable I assume. Stickers, custom pieces, and the black frame around.

[@thewinenut9800]

[@dariusdavidson4957]

It's such an expressive build and I think lego knocked it out of the park for this idea's set.( kudos to the original guy who designed this set).

[@sTeVe-vl3nh]

This is the first "art"-set, that looks really interesting to me. Respect to the designers

[@Torgonius]

I dig the 3D aspect of it. I'd love to see them bring out more paintings in this style. I'd be proud to hang this one on my wall.

[@corgifluff3681]

It's actually $169.99 on Lego's site, so it's a lil cheaper than you originally thought. Launches on 6/1, early VIP access on 5/25. Super hyped! ❤️

[@TiagoCatarino]

Thanks for that!

[@Flappy09]

Woah!

[@michelbruns]

Still too expensive

[@mikemymail7044]

What time can you buy this at? Is it at midnight or is it at 9:00 a.m. that day

[@corner559]

I don't care what it costs. I'm buying it.

[@Robin0928]

I am absolutely floored by how beautiful this looks. I want it so badly.

[@MokiSenpai]

I think the meta way you can pose the minifig painting with the painting itself is such a brilliant idea. It reflects on the genius and the tragedy of Van Gogh, the way he saw the world and how it impacted his art. Brilliant.

[@sooofancier]

I would like to get this set for my grandmother. She is a painter and some of their paintings are inspired from Van Gogh! Do think she will love this set; Thank you for the early review, looking forward to get one 👍

[@davidsg9234]

I haven’t been so excited since Discovery and this is much closer to my heart. Pointing kit that from the minifig’s POV it looks more like an actual landscape more than makes up for how the tree being so forward feels awkward at first look. My first Day One in a year or more.

[@mister_bleeps]

I love the 3D aspect of this set. Day 1 purchase for me. I hope they take this concept beyond the MoMA collection. I'd love to see the Great Wave of Kanagawa done in the same style.

[@davecobrin5936]

good call from last year lmao its been done recently

[@bentuzz99]

Your reviews are the best! Short and snappy but you get the same amount of detail as 12 minute reviews in 4 minutes

[@chrisa1291]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@TiagoCatarino]

I appreciate that! Truly, it means a lot! In a crowded space, I feel this is my way of standing out.

[@jardex2275]

@@TiagoCatarino What makes you stand out to me is that you cut right to the point, rather than drawing out the video. Your previous history with the Lego company also gives you a more professional feel.

[@BetterDayz55]

This one is DEFINITELY going on the wishlist! I love the idea of having a 3D Starry Night made out of LEGO jutting off of my wall! Much more unique than, say, another poster or family photo...

[@dutyfreeadventures5924]

Holy smokes I LOVE IT even from the 'off' angles. I am 100% picking this up. If they made a "living painting" like this by MC Escher I would lose my mind with excitement.

[@vblaas246]

Escher 3d 'magic' stereocards exist. I viewed them in VR today, it is awesome.

[@legoat8747]

The mini figure of Van Gogh is I think incredibly designed! I really love the paint stroke affect on his clothes as if the figure was the portrait painting of him!

[@lizflynn2262]

Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings. I made one out of Lego and have it displayed on my desk at work. My grandfather and I also really liked the song Don McLean wrote about Van Gogh. My grandfather passed away a few months back and I’m excited to have a Lego set that is a combination of things we both enjoyed.

[@michaelreilly7106]

I’m an art teacher and this is one of the paintings my kids need to know for the end of year exam, so it’s definitely going up in my classroom.

[@danthiel8623]

Nice

[@regolaAO]

I will 100% buy this. I personally love art sets like these and I this will be my first ever in my collection

[@justkian6333]

I just finished building this set and I’m in love. I’ve always been a big fan of art and have recently come to know Van Goghs less talked about pieces but I still think Starry Night is my favorite. I’m in band and we actually did a marching show called “Through Vincent’s Eyes” and it features his paintings, a trumpet/singing solo done by our trumpet senior dressed as Vincent, and the marching style used mimics the curling and soft strokes of the Starry Night. The song our solo trumpet singer sings is Starry Starry Night by Don McLean. The show is the reason I really wanted to get this set, since it would be a reminder of my first year in marching band and the joy and pain of marching. I’m so proud to finally own this set and I’m going to show my band directors when we get back from break

[@brickmultiverse]

Must-have set, I love how they used a 3-D design here and not just a plain picture!

[@frankiesomeone]

This set is the epitome of Lego Ideas, really cool. Should be easy to mod into a shadowbox, which I think would be nicer/cleaner.

[@Catbattle]

I think it looks fantastic, Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings of all time and I think the concept of giving it "depth" in a lego build instead of just a flat 2d painting is so incredibly awesome!

[@undead.rising]

I love that Lego was willing to make so many exclusive printed dishes and put in so many rare parts into this set!

[@TheThursty100]

I personally absolutely love that it's not just a flat wall mimicking the original painting, that would be super boring especially as a display. With this 3D effect it literally pops out and is an amazing eyecatcher and because it's 3D people will look it at and move around it, so that's honestly just amazing for an display piece. I like that it's possible to have it stand in a shelf on its own, but as it's a piece of art it belongs the wall, the wall hanger is a great addition. I'm not the biggest fan of Lego, but I may actually get this because it just looks amazing!

[@BentAnat666]

This, to me, is one of the very few new sets that check all the boxes for me, and currently tops my list of sets I need in my life. It's always interesting to see 2D art transformed into 3D, and the fact that it can be hung on a wall is an advantage, since it does control viewing angles a bit. It's definitely a fun thing to have around.

[@adey126]

I love this so much. Lego should do more impressionist paintings. Can’t wait to get it.

[@annabellethedoll3764]

It is unlikely that Lego would made on its own… It is Lego idea after all? You have to wish that more people would submit more impressionist painting sets. Maybe I’m wrong.

[@adey126]

@@annabellethedoll3764 It’s Lego that gets the last word on what goes into the section of Lego Ideas. Hence why I said what I said. There are a few of art Lego builds ideas whether submitted or not. Just that if this sells well I hope Lego will green light these ideas in the future.

[@stevenfreebairn2553]

This is amazing! I feel like this is a perfect adaptation of the IDEAS submission.

[@JBBrickFanatic]

This set is so beautiful! I love the fact that they reprinted the pallet in the colors of the set. It is such a nice detail. The designers did such an incredible job at making this beautiful, and the fan designer was a genius for introducing it! The frame is so cool too. Thanks for this review, Tiago! I’m definitely gonna buy this!

[@VampireKnighLover]

I have a lot of friends who are obsessed with lego as their hobby and I never understood the hype but wow this set might change my mind it absolutely gorgeous and I want to buy it even though it might be quite hard for a beginner 😂

[@Joramee]

I love this set, what a great idea and what a beautiful display idea, I like the corner elements too. Would love to add this to the collection.

[@a.debree6771]

Just got it as a VIP and am now half way building. Will continue tomorrow because this build needs a lot of natural light.

[@gameratwork1075]

This is a magnificent set. I love the fact that they made the set 3D to look at all angles. I like that you can display the set with Van Gogh looking at the scenery. Overall, this is my favorite lego set. An easy 10/10. (I actually got this early with VIP access.) I sure do hope they make more Van Gogh sets like his sunflowers or starry night over the Rhône.

[@Hamood113]

Dang Lego sets have been getting cooler lately

[@kentslocum]

An unbelievably beautiful set with an incredible amount of rare parts, colors, and unorthodox building techniques. However, I am too invested in the mosaic line to change course. I will definitely be duplicating the black frame on some of my mosaics, though.

[@serranobricks6302]

The only thing I don’t like about it is how far out the scenery sticks out, so it would look fine on a table but bad on a wall.

[@WizardOfOss]

That's a pretty cool set! I love that it isn't just a mosaic like with the art sets, but built with layers. I only have a problem with the minifig: no ears! Van Gogh only cut of one ear....

[@johng6350]

One of my favorite aspects of Van Gogh's paintings is their thick streaks and gobs of paint. They give the painting a texture and dimension I really appreciate. To see it taken to this 3D LEGO-level is very intriguing.

[@lukesmith8279]

I love that you review everything early. awesome work as always :D

[@S242]

It’s astonishing to me just how many elements of the original painting are incorporated. (Color, tone, brushstrokes, not to mention the gloriously wild night sky! Vincent’s bold expression was captured. Scale seems to be as accurate as one might hope in such reimagining.. Church and houses are perfect, as is most of this unique and beautiful build. Give us more Van Gogh, Lego. And surely the Surrealists are calling.

[@jardex2275]

This is exactly what I was thinking of when you reviewed the Rolling Stone wall hanging yesterday. I think there's a good case for unique Lego wall art. Posters, frames, display shelves, pop art, etc. I like the use of forced perspective here, and that they didn't just rely on dot art. Lego has the set listed at $170, and it releases June 1st.

[@Gecko_builds]

The day i saw this design by the creator on Instagram, i loved it, the concept and use of parts is amazing and really nice to see the very little changes overall when going from fan design to official lego design. Greta review as always.

[@OfficialBigDaddyBC]

I just bought this yesterday. I’m excited to do it. As someone who appreciates art, this will hang in my living room. I have just finished the grand piano and I am currently halfway through the typewriter. My husband however has been doing my go through covid. We have the titanic, the world map, the globe, all the flowers, the ghostbuster car, the back to the future car, VW vans and cars and the apartments and CAFE for the show friends. And that’s just a handful of things we have around our house. ❤️❤️

We bought this Lego set yesterday, after attending the Van Gogh Alive immersive exhibition. I was brought to tears during the Saint-Rémy asylum part, his pain touched me deeply. He painted some of his best paintings during this period of his life. The quote at the end describes the foolishness of life, as the painter’s soul is far more important than artistic appreciation, which changes with time. “I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.”

[@Lu14355]

Ngl I'm really impressed by this set, especially compared to other "art" sets like the rolling stones logo because I'm a huge fan of how they made the painting 3 dimensional. It adds more life to the painting as well as matching well van gogh's style imo. However I wouldn't see it on a wall because of this 3d, but I think it would look great on a shelf

[@jardex2275]

I think a wall could still work. My grandparents repurposed old jewelry box drawers to display their collection of Wade figurines. This set doesn't seem to stick out more than a standard coat hook. Just be careful about the traffic that passes through your display location.
