LEGO Art 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy is packed with bizarre pieces

A number of truly bizarre pieces have been utilised in the construction of the upcoming LEGO Art 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy.

A unique new LEGO Art set has been officially revealed today, with 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy due to launch on May 15 for Insiders and for everyone else from May 18. The 3,091-piece build measures over 40cm high, 65cm wide and 5cm deep and will be priced at £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99.

31212 The Milky Way Galaxy can also be hung on a wall for all to see your latest brick-built masterpiece, allowing for a closer inspection of how the unique 3D artwork has been created. From what we know so far, the set is assembled from five separate panels that are then all attached to a removable black picture frame to compete the build.

Zooming in even closer to 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy reveals that the model’s designer have utilised a truly bizarre selection of pieces to craft the LEGO Art set, many of which you probably wouldn’t expect to see included in such a space-based build.

For starters, it’s possible to make out various flowers, whisks, hairbrushes, fruit, crystals, cupcakes, binoculars, crowns, grass, window frames, flags, a hermit crab, a bike helmet, food elements, a frog and many other very odd pieces. In addition, there’s a grey satellite floating on the outer edge of the galaxy, what may be a tiny green alien close to the centre and a ‘You are here sign’ that we’re hoping will be a printed element.

Utilising all of those pieces and many more should really make 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy stand out as an altogether very different LEGO Art set, with previous models in the theme having used 1×1 tiles and other smaller but fairly standard parts.

You’ll be able to find out exactly what common everyday items have gone into 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy when the LEGO Art set launches next month for £169.99 / $199.99 / €199.99. The build arrives on May 15 for Insiders members, with everyone else being able to get their hands on it from May 18.
