You have seen LEGO enthusiasts done it, now LEGO is offering you the official products. We are talking about pop-art ‘posters’ created from LEGO elements. Yes. You heard that right. LEGO Art Sets are here and they are further prove that LEGO is taking adult collectors more seriously than ever before.
If you love LEGO and pop culture, you are going to dig the LEGO Art sets. Altogether, there are four new LEGO Art sets for you to choose from and they are: the iconic Marilyn Monroe pop art by Andy Warhol, the legendary British rock band The Beatles, Iron Man from Marvel Universe, and the Sith Lords of Star Wars.

The LEGO Marvel Studios Iron Man will be available exclusively from LEGO Retail Stores and LEGO.com. As for the remaining three sets, they will be offered by retailers, starting August 1, 2020, or from September 1, 2020 in stateside.
They may be available for pre-order from retailers starting today at select retailers in certain countries.
Each LEGO pop art set measure over 15.5 inches (40 centimeters) when completed and sells for US$119.99. Relatively speaking, they are as expensive as real art. If you were to go for just one set, it is not overly pricey, but there’s a catch.
For example, with The Beatles, you can only have one band member at each time. Meaning if you want all four The Beatles’ members, you have will have pick up four sets. It can get really expensive.
However, the boon is – if you can call it a boon – for sets like Iron Man and The Sith, if you pick up all three of each set, you can combine them into one giant piece. LEGO has included a helpful tool to enable you to easy re-piece them together.
