By buying three of those sets you can make an “Ultimate build” that spans a 3×9 (48×144 stud) area. “Standard” LEGO art sets like 31199 Iron Man come with 9 16×16 bricks to form a 3×3 backplane. There’s one small bag that contains all the lower-volume and one-off pieces, and several more that contain batches of 1-3 elements each. The volume of pieces in this set, though, is very apparent when you start to lay out the part bags. Instead, this kit is made up of only 32 different parts, resulting in this somewhat comically sparse inventory page. Since this is the largest LEGO set to date, you’d be forgiven for expecting the parts list to be several pages long, filled with a ton of diverse elements. One of the parts bags had split on me in transit, making the unboxing a little more dramatic than LEGO had probably intended. You may have noticed that there were a lot of 1×1 medium azure tiles strewn about.

Sealed with a second round of tab stickers, it contains the instruction manual and the pieces that will make up the frame.

Taking the 1×1 elements out lets you remove the top central box. Removing the top lid reveals four main areas: a central part box, two side pockets holding the 1×1 round elements, and a second box that contains the 16×16 bricks that form the backplane of the mosaic. Finally, there’s a blurb for the Soundtrack – an audio companion for this set similar to the ones found in the other LEGO Art offerings. The three configurations for the map are highlighted, as well as a big picture along the right inviting you to “customize the oceans”. The actual dimensions are included around one of the smaller photos along the bottom edge: 25.8″ x 40.9″ (65.6 cm x 104 cm). The back of the box shows the completed model in real-world settings, giving you an idea of just how much space this set will take to display. It’s, shall we say, an interesting design choice. By contrast, the ocean depths are charted out in a bathymetric mapping of the ocean floor. The most striking thing, though, has to be that LEGO opted for solid, flat white for all of the landmasses instead of showing any topography. The graphics on the front match what we’ve seen in other Art sets like the 31201 Harry Potter crests: A big image of the completed mosaic, bold text down the left edge, and a few inset shots along the bottom showcasing alternate builds. The box itself is pretty sturdy, with a removable lid. The set weighs over 14 pounds, and comes in a 22″ x 16″ x 8″, tab-sealed box.
