I'm visiting Legoland Billund and this Mosaic is on Display in the Lego Gallery!! It' awesome in reality, really happy to have the chance of seeing it. Next time in the Lousiana...

thanks for your extremelly hilarating answer For people with little knowledge of slang: kerching refers to the sound of the old cash registers and it is used as "something to cash in a lot" so read it as "pricey yellow, pricey green..."

Zero 2022 sets here by the parts, I agree with @anothergol but for me it is a matter of space rather than cost. A bag of pieces can go into trays almost unnoticed but new sets would claim some reconfiguration of the play/display area I think that all conspiranoid theories are wrong and Lego is just optimizing a service that has probably grow beyond than expected. IMHO the heavy users of BnP were bricklink shops and specific MOC-oriented AFOLs (building or designing) which are a minoritary market who do not buy lots of sets anyway, so sales figures of sets should not feel any impact by the BnP activity change Probably first the availability of parts and second the smoothness of the web impact just in the sales of the BnP service itself, so they are probably seeing a decrease in the total amount of sales after the investment made in usability. So they go ahead and improve the usability further (400 pieces per page! woah!) not seeing the actual reason for the sales decrease. They have lost the big buyers and it could be confirmed by the average value per order before / after the change.

According to brickset inventory [link] : yes, it is medium lavender.

Just found this from @LvdH in the Technic forum - General Part Discussion thread and I though it was worth to quote it here

I think that the book will be not limitted, just the "slipcase edition" So my expectative is that it will be available later at more reasonable prices but without the slipcase

I understand the "limited edition" as the renaming of the "launch day GWP" which lasted a few minutes generating months of web rants Loving the model, I'll get when in heavy discount as the Sian. These 1:8 are incredibly satisfactory despite all the criticism they receive about their functions

As you already have tracks (42095) I would suggest going for tires, so the 42124 You should view them as parts packs, not sets. Because as a set everybody is on the 42140 Remember to check brickwatch, 42129 has a good discount in Germany Here you have a table for most PU sets

My best guess for the second is a chef's hat like this one ; but it is just because Promobricks mentions today a new mini-chef for the Lego House

I think that the scale would be closer to 1:8, think of Sian's size. The tire is available in BnP (Design ID : 80542; Name "TYRE, NARROW, DIA. 75.1, NO. 1" ) at over 4€ each. So assume 7.51 cm external diameter. This is a tad smaller to Sian/Bugatti/Porsche tires or to the standard motorcycle ones Rims (ID: 84772 ; Name "RIM, DIA. 62.3X20.3, NO. 1" ) are not yet in BnP, well they are "at 0€" so I guess they will show up in the future. Its diameter matches the Sian/Bugatti/Porsche rims , which is welcomed so most MOCs would benefit easily of the new wheels

I'm using tiles as well, but the stacking technique mentioned in Batman review makes plates to look tempting; Anyway I'll probably go for the layered idea as it improves the detail and I have limitted space. My source of truth is obviously bricklink , and my biggest surpise has been that green 1x1 tile is new from 21332 The Globe. So, not yet aware of the color gaps in plates. I'll share if I finally need to investigate them. There are a couple of novelty-tiles in Elvis but I do not think that adding new colors will be activelly seek when selecting the motives. There are very few missing colors and most images can be rendered with the above palette, in any case time will tell.

The Brothers Brick review of Batman mosaic confirms the brand new medium lavender 1 x 1 round plate , not tile. Although there are 1x1 square tiles available

It's not even a year old, I would not be worried at all. In EU shop it is just "pending" stating that new orders will be delivered on March 3rd

Many thanks for the info!! The parts' page gives all reasons to make a day-1-two-buys to moc classic cars. But they will be a lot bigger than typical Creator ones. I think 10265 Ford Mustang is 1:13 and this rim & tire size in a car would be close to 1:8; think of 42115 Sian

Thanks for sharing this,really nice. I'd look if I have the parts in blue and orange to mock "2022's McLaren" 42141

I can't believe how good this is going to look next to the cool yellow Fiat 500 It brings even a perfect new tire and lots of recolours, as the Shuttle quarter dome, etc.

Instagram leak images seems to me the new panel (Sian triangles) in standard blue. And I would bet that it is a 1:10

Works and it's simple! Great! I was uninterested in this set until saw this so it turns out that it is a bad idea, for my wallet

Despite the opinion that the Lego mosaic theme is boring , a recent huge example together with the announcement of the new Batman and Elvis sets have triggered my interest in building one A quick search shows that there are a few software options to help with the initial shaping link 1, link 2 & many others, but people with experience points out that manual adjustments will be required So, basically you have a clear path ahead to draft it; but then, how do you source the pieces? Which set could be the most cost-effective for your project? All official mosaics bring the base bricks, a frame in black or white and up to 16 colors of 1x1 round tiles or plates in good amounts ,but they are not easy to compare. So I have put together the following table that can be used beforehand, so you limit your palette to what's available in a set (some tools already includes this), or afterwards, choosing if any would solve your needs better than a BricksNPieces / Brincklink order Notes: - I have excluded the World Map 31203 because if you are considering that size, clearly you are not into cost optimisation - The submission of the upcoming Ideas set Starry Night is not flat and looks great, this would require different parts sourcing. @Themiddlebrick uses a noteworthy layered technique in Boba Fett mosaic artwork - Art Project 21226 is listed based on the Lego instructions' last page, and Batman 31205 and Elvis 31204 are listed based on info from Brothers-Brick review ; the rest comes from bricklink - A few DOTS sets might be good parts packs as well, I have included them Set Number 21226 31197 31198 31199 31200 31201 31202 31204 31205 41935 41950 41951 41952 Set (nick)Name Art Project Marilyn The Beatles Iron Man The Sith Hogwarth Mickey Elvis Batman Lots of Dots Lettering Dots Message Board Large board Num.

The Lego Art discussion thread could be a good place to talk about this, but being in doubt I have started a separate thread because I do not want to launch a discussion on which one is "best". Do not hesitate in merging with that thread

4. Brick Bang WOW: 230cm of lego, and bricks not plates / tiles !! ultra-WOW And very inspiring; adding Lego mosaic to my to do list

Many thanks for the heads up! I've been tracking the Chinese New Year parts (sets 80109 and 80108) and most printed parts from them are available. Not the Tiger minifig, though Talking about tigers, the printed slope from Majestic Tiger 31129 is there too (Element ID 6366029)

After the "military" Osprey fiasco, it can only be a cloud As someonse mentioned earlier, it might be any pneumatic model although we had 42128 Tow Truck on 2021 and it is rare to have pneumatics two consecutive years so I agree with the airplane prediction. I would love the Concorde or a renewed Space Shuttle, both could make sense of the expected part count

Tesla roadster was delayed to 2023... Not bad news anyhow, I'm not in a hurry for another 1:8

Is it time for an American or Japanese maker? If so, probably an NSX or Ford GT In any case I expect an standar color: 2022 new panels and parts are mostly red, blarck or white apart from the lime bits, which obviously is not. Without any info, I wish a Ford GT in red with white racing stripes. The slant panels from 42137 would fit well to shape the hood air intakes together with the triangled ones (#50 #51) from 42125

Going back to production items, new "Vibrant Yellow" printed torso and unprinted arms is available in Bricks n Pieces; design number 6375835 . Although it seems that it will require the same patience as Coral, Cool Yellow or Teal
