Last week, we discussed the upcoming  #31205 LEGO Art Jim Lee Batman Collection mosaic set that features portraits of several iconic DC Comics characters, including Batman, The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman (see: Pre-Order LEGO Art Jim Lee Batman Collection). While the set won’t be available until March 1st, you can already pre-purchase it at the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.

And there is yet another LEGO Art mosaic coming in March; the #31204 LEGO Art Elvis Presley The King. The set allows you to build one of three portraits of the iconic king of Rock & Roll through the years; his start in music, in his prime, or later in his career. And if you purchase three sets, there are also instructions to build a larger combined mosaic.

Just like with the other LEGO Art sets, it’s not just about building, but about immersing yourself in a relaxing, almost meditative experience. The coffee-table-quality instructions guide you through the project, starting with a deep dive into the multitalented icon that is Elvis Presley before you begin building. You can also scan the QR code and listen to the soundtrack with nearly two hours of content tailor-made to really immerse you in the project.

This 3,445-piece LEGO hobby project includes nine canvas wall decor plates, an Elvis Presley signature tile, two hanger elements, a brick separator, and a brick-built frame. The smaller mosaics measure over 15.5 in. (40 cm) square and can be displayed on a wall or shelf.

Like the other mosaics, the #31204 LEGO Art Elvis Presley The King is priced at $119.99. Although it won’t be available until March 1st, it is already listed at the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop, along with the previously released mosaic kits; the #31197 LEGO Art Andy Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe mosaic, the #31198 LEGO Art The Beatles mosaic, the #31199 LEGO Art Marvel Studios Iron Man mosaic, the #31200 LEGO Art Star Wars The Sith mosaic, the #21226 LEGO Art Project – Create Together kit, the #31201 LEGO Art Harry Potter Hogwarts Crests mosaic, the #31202 LEGO Art Disney’s Mickey Mouse mosaic, and the #31203 LEGO Art World Map. They all have alternate builds and combined models so you can display them in different ways. To see them all, visit the LEGO Art section of the Online LEGO Shop.
