Releases on June 1st. Largest set ever with 11695 pieces. Coming soon on Lego SAH.

I really wanted to like this set...but it’s just bleh...Here’s hoping they do a better job with the globe.

There’s at least instructions for an alternative, Asian-centric projection.

This hurts my eyes.

 

This set is so bad. Actually all the Lego “Art” series are terrible. Google “bead art” to understand how poor of a value these are.

Earlier when I read this on my phone I was like, woah, eurocentric much? But now I'm looking at it on my laptop and holy cow this image just straight up hurts my eyes! 😆

When I first saw those kinds LEGO art at Ripley's many years ago, my thoughts was "this look cool, but I would not want to be the one putting it together"

From this angle, that looks like a map from 1 of those old PC games with world maps.  It reminded me of how cool it was to see the map in color on VGA monitor (16 colors baby!!)

I was noticing the same thing. The area I live in (east coast US) is pretty much split right on the border. I wonder if the map is evenly split on the edges so that you could put the American continents in the center if you choose to.

Not that I am going to buy it though, just more of a curiosity.

China/India is right smack in the Center.

Page 139 of the instructions shows that you can put it together in three different ways to make a Euro/Africa, Asia or America centric map.

I thought this was obvious by the pictures on the front of the box.  The 2 smaller maps on the lower left are America centric and Asia centric, while the huge one is Euro centric.  Also it says 1 picture, 3 combinations

Back in stock at LEGO Shop at Home. 

Also available at Kohl's if anyone prefers

Any set above $100 performing better? The Globe and Typewriter have done well but not like the Map

I don’t recall any of the “influencers” mentioning this one.
