World Map Reviews
The Brothers Brick
“From a parts perspective, this set is a boon for mosaic builders. If you’re looking for quantity this set has you covered. 11,130 1×1 round elements provide plenty of bulk for custom projects, even if the color range is pretty limited. As a mosaic parts pack, or as a piece... More of interesting LEGO Art, this set does earn a solid recommendation from me.”
Brick Architect
“#31203 World Map is huge and brightly colored, and will dominate almost any room that you put it in. It’s also a massive undertaking—I built it as fast as I possibly could and it still took more than 10 hours! You will also find that represents a very good value, no matter... More whether you assess value on a price-per-part, price-per-weight, or even a price-per-hour basis (assuming that more time is better).”
